| Note | Although most of this recording is of decent quality, it does have a number of flaws as outlined here.
The main stage was set right next to Wailea Beach - and since all the beaches in Hawaii are public property, the beach was packed with the common folk who were not allowed on hotel property. As a result, security was extremely ferocious. We were herded from one location to another. Finally, by the 3rd and 4th song, I found a recording spot near a security gate in the bushes about 150 feet from the stage and about 50 degrees off angle from the direction the speakers were pointed. Here's how the security description relates to the recording - 1) Song 1 - Message In A Bottle - is mostly missing. I started the recorder as we were being moved from a distance over to the beach. 2) Song 2 - Once we were in range of the stage, the quality of the recording improves. However, we were once again in a non-allowed area so you will hear our movements and crackles in one or two places as the mics and battery box get knocked about. 3) Song 3 - We finally got to the protected space from where the remainder of the show was recorded. Since the spot was somewhat hidden, there were 3 times during the show that people used this area to try to sneak past security and enter the main concert area. During these times, there is some talking in the background. During "The Hounds Of Winter", one unsuccessful crasher insisted on telling me how they wanted to taser him. You'll hear him and my admonishment to be quiet because I was recording. |
