Sort of like this, \=o=| but with the right mic just slightly "aimed" to the left, by just a shade (-5º left-axis of right mic). The left mic was focused to a point 3/4 across the stage at stage amps. The right mic was focused on Dave Alvin and Brantley Kearns. It sounds better than it appears on paper! From 1st row, slightly right of center. Mic suspended over audience from a horizontal mic stand that was parallel to and over the first row audience, horizontally reaching back towards the stage center. This was because the promoter did not want a mic stand on the floor, despite the bands approval of the recordings (both bands), except at the rear of the room. So I suspended the mics from an indoor craftsmen style arbor, over first row, near stage center. The arbor construction hid the mics from rearward view, and exposed them to the stage, and the promoter was happy (so was the tapir).
