Скачать или смотреть Drain STH - The Avalon - Boston, MA - November 20th, 1999

Drain STH opening for Filter during the Title of the Record tour.
Recording is a bit crispy/fuzzy. I remember this show being loud, so the sound guy was probably pushing it past what my gear could handle. If you find it too distracting, I get it.

For a span of three years, I was into recording live concerts. It was an era of no metal detectors and rarely frisking at concert venues. I was living in Boston and constantly seeing shows as ticket prices were generally between $5-$15. Towards the end of 2001, more venues were frisking and I was gigging with my own bands.

I used a MiniDisc recorder and a powered microphone. Once in the venue, I would run the microphone up through my shirt, out the sleeve, and hold it between my left arm and torso. A black shirt and long hair made concealment extremely easy. My go to position was directly behind the front of house soundboard. Monitoring and adjusting of levels usually wasn't an option, so I used the auto setting and hoped for the best. Run time on a disc was 74mins, so if the show ran longer, the recording cut off.

The recorded has since given up the ghost and I actually had to borrow a player from a friend just to bounce all my recordings into GarageBand. I imported as hot as I could get them without clipping.
From GarageBand I saved them as an MP3 and imported them into Final Cut, were I added graphic, trimmed the audio, and added the fade in/fade/out.
