Here is another sample of one of my first live concert recordings I did earlier this year. I used one of my inexpensive eBay purchased mics (the Y-Stereo) for this recording of the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s presentation of “Godfellas.” Great show, funny cut from the gig, okay recording. It was tough to record because 1) I had forgotten to bring headphones so I couldn’t hear the sound as it was recording and 2) the show was outside. On top of that the SFMT’s sound system would wash in-and-out at times and get overdriven when they yelled (this was fine for the show but the subsequent recording suffers a bit…but then, it gives it that true bootleg sound). Further, I was seated about 150 yards from the speakers and crowd noise creeps in a bit. So remember ‘kiddies’, always bring your headphones and getting good placement is key! Anyway, give it a listen. It’s a really funny piece and only a 5 meg. download.
