Notes Geetarz Comments:

My favorite recording from the 3-night blues run at Madison Square Garden in 1994.

I've always loved the combination of the Sonic Mics and a D3 or D7, especially with the preamp mod. It's a rich, warm sound that today's "all digital" recordings seem to lack. Which might simply be due to the fact that the DAT decks of that day were expensive, especially in relation to the relatively "cheap" (in design and build quality) solid state recorders today.

As with most binarural recordings, this sounds great on speakers but fantastic on headphones.
