Notes: Sweet show! He wasn't as interactive with the crowd as i expected, but the music did all the talking and i probably had an exagerated ideia of how much he talks on stage. A very nice set too (missing "Dark Matter" and "Fake Palindromes" sadly). He played a lot of his "Dark side of the moon", the spectacular new album "Armchair Apocrypha". Martin Dosh, played his one man band set of 11 minutes before Andrew and Jeremy came on stage. Sound quality is amazing, easily one of my best recordings. TAGV is the best venue i've ever been sound quality wise (great acoustics, great sound guy). I did adjust the levels a couple of times during the show, as the set went in a "loudness crescendo". No EQ'ing applied as I didn't feel it was necessary. At some points of the show, the right channel (mainly, the left one has the same artefacts, even if much milder) has several clicks and pops. After the show, i've found out that the battery of my mics was almost drained... I tried to correct it making it mono in those small portions using the least affected left channel, but you can still notice a bit. It's much better now, but don't be shocked if you find one that i've skipped. Besides that, post-pro was strictly for attenuation of clapping peaks, using HL. 24 bit version is also available.
