OU NOTES: Wow, the opening night of the 30th Anniversary Tour, and the "Fellowship of the M1" was there in full force. I guess you could call this the "Return of the Fellowship"!
I ran my hyper-cardioid capsules because we were in the 2nd tier section (literally) few feet from the soundboard.
The first 60 seconds or so is a patch from an alternate source because I ran just a bit late getting set up.
The mix sounded awesome from where we were sitting, and the recording faithfully represents the beautiful mix at the show.
Overall, the highs were crisp, mids are punchy and Geddy really comes through nicely. One detraction is that the 1st set's balance is slightly shifted to the right channel.
Also, there is that one certain guy who whistles a lot during the show; however, he's pretty back in the mix. Although, he's a bit annoying.
Mastering notes include: bass cut, mid bass and high end boosts, channel balancing and some basic cleanup.
Few amplitude adjustments were made and the entire show was normalized fully to 0dB.
Lastly, I decided to retain the long "Darn That Dragon" intro to Set II along with the post show music for nostalgic sake.
