Source 1: "TOOL 2009-July-29 Bojangle's Colisium Charlotte, NC Lineage: Core Sound Dual DPA 4061 merged into 3 pin XLR into Mic2496 V2 Portable Mic Pre-amp/A-to-D Converter (coax out) into Monster Cable Interlink Digital Datalink IDL 100 High Resolution Cable M-Audio's MicroTrack II Professional 2-Channel Mobile Digital Recorder (into SPDIF) 1/8" male to male connector to Olympus LS-10 (from earphone jack of Microtrack to mic port of LS-10) ScanDisk Extreme III 8 GB SD Recorded in 48khz/24 bit 2 channel stereo and converted to 44k/16 All editing done with Adobe Audition 3.0.1 (patch for Vista) Had to raise vocals and normalize WAV files converted to FLAC 6 via Traders Little Helper Files torrented will be done thru traders little helper onto uTorrent. setlist: 01 Jambi 02 Stinkfist 03 Ions 04 forty six & 2 05 Schism 06 Video and Lost Keys 07 rosetta Stoned 08 flood 09 Aenema 10 Band Break with Spectral lights 11 Lateralus (with Tweakbird Drummer) 12 Encore Prelude 13 Vicarious notes: This was a pretty bad night. The concert was fun and the light show spectacular. As usual, I was around idiots. My seats were PERFECT. The second row on raised lower level directly straight back from band. Soundboard in front of me. However as luck would have it, I had idiots around me. The first was "monkey boy with bandanna on head. During the show he would grab the rails and bounce up and down like a chimpanzee. the second was the "mystery guest. The seats to my left were continuously filled by the next mystery guest until removed by security. The last was a prick from Rock Hill, SC. He shows up with his friend drunk and probably jacked on some stimulant. HE talks loudly and my son asks him to be quiet. Also mentions that i am taping. (Bad Move!) During the show he tries to sabotage my equipment. First he pours water on the floor where my gear rests and succeed in getting my preamp wet from bottom. (Eventually it was ruined the next day). What made this guy the most angry was that i had an extra ticket that could not be used so I used it to set my equipment since the floor was wet. IT pissed him off SO much that the seat was not taken that he followed my sonto my car and wanted to start a situation. What makes it even funnier is that i didn't turn off the Olympus and the whole situation was still recording. Needless to say, no fight ensued. son learned lesson about idiots and I am now reordering my preamp. The microtrack went crazy and thank GOD I made a back up with the LS-10 just to see if I could pull off two recordings. Luckily I got one. Microtrack makes great recordings whent hey aren't schizophrenic. Toward the end, evidently the water spilt affected the 9v contacts causing popping during Lateralus and Vicarious. They have been cleaned up with Adobe Audition. Samples included as mp3. I also have tweakbird. will include them later. For now enjoy!

(4:14) VICARIOUS (8:03) total time disc 2: 55:25 ** QUALITY DISCLAIMER ** i'm not a professional taper. i try to tape a show so that i have a memento of the event, to relive it when memory fails. therefore, my view of mini-disc recordings is favourable, because it's all that i have. i respect others' views about MD as they pertain to the issue of quality, but i do not use it to transfer or store music files or data. i use the MD as i would a tape recorder. my recordings aren't (and will never be) perfect. if you attended this show, i think you will enjoy this recording, if only the first time you listen to it. if the quality doesn't lend itself to further listenings, please do not keep it or share it. recommend it to others only if you like it enough to put it on every now and then. if you weren't at the show, then i hope i've captured it well enough that you may like what you hear, so that it will find its way into your player often enough to justify my efforts to share it. i decided to share this show when i became a member of the international echoes hub, because i wouldn't want to keep to myself music that could bring as much joy to others as it does to me. i have already downloaded many wonderful concerts that i otherwise would never have heard, and i am most grateful for those few that are the shows i was able to attend long ago, but was not able to record at the time. i'm always hopeful that i'll happen upon another one today, and tomorrow, and that eventually i'll have a copy of every concert that i've ever attended. it's very unlikely that it will happen, but you never know! it's something to try for, at the very least. and i hope that this show will be someone else's unexpected find. but if not, then at least there's a chance that it will be something nice to listen to now and then... geoffers END DATA STREAM:" |
