Show Notes: Obviously not a complete recording, and it has its flaws. My first taping since 2006 with new gear, so things were bound to happen. Not helping was the venue's Gestapo-like security, one of whom kept his eye on me the whole night, as he thought I had a camera in my bag, when all I really had was a change of clothes, umbrella, cell phone and...oh yeah...a TASCAM DR-05 digital audio recorder.
Long before showtime, when I took my seat: "Excuse me sir is there any camera equipment in that bag?" I was third row, flying solo, so I suppose he thought I was up to "no good." The idiot.
I was directly in front of the stage-left PA stacks but I had to keep the recorder on the floor as that one pesky security guard kept shining his flashlight at my face. The moron was convinced I was going to snap some pictures. As the Tascam was on the floor in my bag with the bag's zipper open, the recording is far from the crystalline capture I was hoping for. It was very bassy, and I had to EQ out a significant amount of low range, as well as scoop out some brutal mids around 340Hz; there was a lot of sonic "garbage" there. It could still benefit from revised EQing and I'd be happy to send the raw files to anyone wishing to tackle it someday.
If that wasn’t bad enough, I was surrounded by buffoons: a mad clapper to my right, a beefcake whistler behind me and talkers in front of me. All simpletons; all sadly immortalized on this recording.
As far as the show goes, it was really tight. The band was on.
While I was happy to step away and work on this incomplete and far-from-perfect recording, stay tuned for more Lurker Ray recordings coming soon. We're working on them. They are certainly gems in the rough.
The recording is my small contribution to the fans.
