The sounds was good. The house sound system is a little on the shallow side, but then again, for a jazz cafe, not much is needed. NewEARS had a sound engineer present to mix the house sound. There were also a number of home video cameras running this night to capture the show from a number of angles. From what I have heard, alot of that footage is very dark as they dimmed the house lights way down when the show started. I think this audio recording turned out very well considering we were off to the right side of the audience (not by any means centered between the house speakers). People near by were pretty quiet, and there were only a few times when the waitress caused a bit of noise and inadvertent phasing with her movement. I did nothing to this recording - it is raw - except to downsample, split the tracks, and encode to flac. The Tony Levin set is a bit on the quiet side. The IZZ set is a bit louder, simply because they were louder than Tony. Oh yes, and a final point of clarification - Tony did in fact "open" for IZZ. IZZ was the headliner. Tony's set Tony's set was great. He used is little MAC G3 as his "band in a box", so when you hear a backing band when he plays, it's his G3 in the mix. He also did quite a bit of speaking in between songs, answering questions, and confirming some of the information already known about the 2008 King Crimson tour and lineup (Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree is the 2nd drummer). I asked Tony after the show if the lineup for the 2008 KC would be the same lineup used for 2009 and he jokingly said something to the effect that the lineup changes month to month.... meaning that he had no comment on the matter, really (I may as well have been talking to the wind ;-) IZZ's set IZZ was very good, and besides a few inopportune vocal microphone feedback issues, the overall sound was excellent. Jam Set Now what a surprise this was! You know you were in for a treat when they opened the jam set with Elephant Talk! Nice to see a couple of classic PG tunes thrown in there too. Truly great. If you enjoy this recording then please support the artists and go see them play live, and purchase their music!! Tony Levin websites: http://www.tonylevin.com http://papabear.com |
