ismokeweed Notes:  
--this might be a stereo soundboard recording
--this is a festival that was put on by donna the buffalo with the help of their festival crew, local people and volunteers
--they had 4 stages going. 1 big stage, a stage under a circus tent and 2 small stages that were permanent parts of the park
--they had a mix of somewhat famous bands and local bands
--they were sticklers for using old, state of the art pa equipment
--lots of tube amps power the pa systems. old analog stuff.
--their traveling sound crew was top notch. really knew their shit.
--i think i recorded parts of all 4 stages simultaneously with 4 rigs
--most of it i have never listened to.
--i went to the festival since it's inception to the very end in 2023
--it's a shame it had to die 
--i have seen a lot of scenes die in miami  

vg NOTES (2026-01-08):  
--Thanks so much to ismokeweed for this Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio 2013 show.  Absolutely Appreciated!!  
--I would posit that this is definitely an onstage mics recording based upon the fact that the vox truly sound like they are coming from a stage monitor & also the way that the instruments are panned (they way they would be placed on the stage) & straight in your face.  
--this was a midnight set as you can hear Bobby exclaim near the end of t04 "we got one more for ya, they have a 1:00 curfew, so we gotta stop"

--I added the band members info
--created a setlist for this...this was not easy as I am not familiar with Bobby's music that much & the fact that it's very hard to make out the vox, but thru careful listening & comparing the rhythms & riffs with other BLR recordings on the LMA (& then going back & making sure the vox I could make out were correct), I was able to figure out all except t04...if any Bobby Lee Rodgers aficionados out there know the title of this tune, please won't you please chime in & inform us all??  
--created an ffp checksum file
--added the ffp fingerprints & md5 checksums to the text file
--added pics from the event & the poster for it
