Notes So close, yet so far away from a great recording :P

I lost some pieces of my binaural mounting equipment after the Oakland show and did not realize it until I was setting up for this show.
Thus I resorted to a less-than-ideal mounting technique which failed badly.

The stereo image is either non-existent or incorrect on all listening environments.

I chose my stack position due to the venue being outdoors and the lack of other sound reinforcement at the venue. The stage was also far overhead, so capturing the stage amps (as I usually do) was not attempted.

Being outdoors, there was no reverb, so I added it in post-processing.

Anyways, enjoy this recording (or not). It is not terrible, but it could have been a lot better had I not lost mounting equipment.

The official soundboard recording is/was available for purchase at http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/
