Relisten

View NotesFlaws:  The show clips @ 4:56 - 5:20 & 5:40 - 5:51 of track 6, as well as 1:46 of track 7.  I am still a novice when it comes to capturing audio with microphones, but the best I can figure is that the gain settings on the VX Pocket card were a bit high; this is strange because Audacity didn't indicate clipping during this, or any, portion of the show.  The result is not a "perfect" recording; however, it is still quite listenable.

Notes:  An interesting and unique show, to say the very least.  I have never seen SGM before, but I have listened to a live show or two.  As the band began to play, a loud ringing bell sound started coming from the rear of the venue.  The sound seemed to go along with the music, so I thought the band or sound person was creating the sound.  I remember thinking how strange it was because the sound was not coming through the PA.  I soon found out that the sound was actually an alarm of some sort.  As I said before, the sound seems to go along with the first tune, but it becomes really annoying by the second tune.  Fortunately for everyone involved, the alarm was shut off by the time they started the third tune.  Aside from the clipping and the crowd chatter, the show sound pretty good.
