BLUESTONE CO. (featuring CHRIS DUARTE)
Whiskey Dick's
Columbus Ohio
September 8, 2007

Bluestone Co. is a group from Japan very much in the vein of Gov't Mule, featuring the scorching Guitar and slide playing of Toshihiro Sumitomo. They have formed an alliance with Chris Duarte, and it's turning out to be very popular. Chris sings and plays guitar, making Bluestone a two guitar band. This is the second U.S. tour, with dates extending into October.
Things are getting a lot "jammier" than on the first tour last year. Check out Yoshi's bass playing, see who it reminds you of. Set lists change drastically each night. These guy's are smoking live in the HEAVY sense, like early Mule. Go see them while you have a chance.

This recording is a "true" front row experience, or representation, in a
stereographical sense. The mic was on the stage dead center, in amongst Duarte's
effects pedals(you can hears the "clicks" plainly between songs). This particular
mic is very omni-directional and really represents the two sides separately,
the left and right. THEREFORE, you have Toshi's guitar's in the left channel,
and Chris's guitars in the right, obviously with some bleed through.
The Drums and Bass are in both channels, Bass just a bit to the right,
because that's where Yoshi's cabinet was in relation to the Drums.
Listen to this out in a set of quality headphones, and you are "there", on
stage, facing the bass drum. If you're a slut for guitar tone, there is no substitute
for the sound directly from the amps, as opposed to through the PA. It's not even
close. Check out the samples. Hear for yourself.

***On the original torrent, Disc 1 track 8 was messed up. if you dl'd that one, you need track 8 from this torrent***

This was possibly the best of the shows that I was able to attend this year. Part of this was due to the crowd, which was awesome, providing a killer vibe. Another contributing factor was the inclusion of a super intense two-guitar version of "Driving South", 
which I'd been "wishing for" on the way to the gig.
As before, this recording features on-stage mics. This time, however, there is a stronger vocal present than in the previous uploads. Getting a decent vocal is always tricky when making an on-stage recording, and luck plays a part as well. This time I got lucky. Strong vocal or not, I love the sound of the instruments straight from the source. I'm glad to hear that many of you do also. I plan on uploading some Woody era Mule recorded that way sometime soon, almost all un-circulated.
Please, if you've taped the Chris Duarte Group or Bluestone Co.(or have 1st Gen. copies), upload them!
