Stan Whittaker annoucement (1:20) Total Time: 94:22 (1 hr, 34 min, 22 sec) audience cassette -> CoolEdit -> WAV -> FLAC Frontend -> FLAC Notes: Recorded with my usual set-up of a Panasonic portable tape recorder connected to two decent external microphones. Recorded onto Maxel XL-II 90 min tape. The resulting tape was fed into my PC via an Onkyo tape deck using CoolEdit. CoolEdit was then used to break it into individual tracks and FLAC Frontend was used to convert those to FLAC. After both sides of my original tape ran out, I tried to quickly stick a second tape in to get the very tail end of the set, but the recorder got "jammed" or something. It just refused to spin the tape, even though the record button was pressed. I had to remove the tape, fiddle with a little lever that controls forward/backward play and put the tape back in before it would start recording again. By that time I had probably missed a good minute or so of the set, and they were almost done anyway. But I included that last little bit just for completeness sake. The reason the applause lasts so long at the end is because the band members left the stage one at a time, after setting their equipment up to continue playing for a while after they left. Any help identifying the three missing song titles would be most appreciated. About ProgDay: ProgDay is an outdoor festival of progressive rock that has been held annually since 1995. In 1996 it was expanded from one day to two and has been hosting anywhere from eight to eleven progressive rock bands each year since. The event takes place at beautiful Storybook farm, unless rain forces it indoors (which has fortunately only happened twice in the festival's history). It's a relaxed atmosphere, where you can view from anywhere you want - right up against the stage for the bands you like, or back in the vendor tent while CD shopping during bands you're not wild about. The people are friendly, and the band members often hang out all weekend taking in the show and chatting with fans when they're not on stage. If you're a prog rock fan and can possibly attend, it's well worth the effort. The festival just barely breaks even (or sometimes doesn't), so every ticket sold really helps. Go if you can. About Von Frickle: These guys are from another planet, or at least that's what they'd have you believe. They performed covered entirely in white outfits from head to toe, even wearing white plastic masks (see included photos). The only part of each bandmember that was visible was his hands. After the show, I overheard someone ask the bassist where the name Von Frickle came from, and with no trace of humor or irony, he said they chose it when their ship crashed on Earth because it seemed inconspicuous. Musically, their biggest influence is probably King Crimson, although the first song they played reminded me of Yeti. There are heavy parts, interlocking guitar parts, spacey parts - it's all over the map, but it's really good stuff. http://www.myspace.com/vonfrickle http://www.vonfrickle.com FLAC Fingerprints generated by Trader's Little Helper: VonFrickleProgDay08T01.flac:cef9f40f1eb30d82d17fa2df40cb2ee5 VonFrickleProgDay08T02.flac:f52edac734d7fa92ca3ace3ac4181911 VonFrickleProgDay08T03.flac:539bdb61fbd6a9ed3b0c6308a0079ef1 VonFrickleProgDay08T04.flac:9d511bf7eb3c6027cb1df71df29e60e1 VonFrickleProgDay08T05.flac:489bee8df72dcf0bdb47818f47e53c77 VonFrickleProgDay08T06.flac:cd12954314298b7e164783ffbc7a2f7d VonFrickleProgDay08T07.flac:16e28077c91f9e1266a1c12af9ab290a VonFrickleProgDay08T08.flac:10d4e7d9c6544c48604f8248c6ee1f32 VonFrickleProgDay08T09.flac:d220ed6627a3c78d898714405127ee34 VonFrickleProgDay08T10.flac:f00a329ae4f8bcbeccbbcca343d89f79 VonFrickleProgDay08T11.flac:7dff54f1f951929adf001c5932609b62 VonFrickleProgDay08T12.flac:213102929c2ffda316b388bff654924b VonFrickleProgDay08T13.flac:279f52eef5e11e82c7cf15e0de7107b5 VonFrickleProgDay08T14.flac:4305328ef9d76986d7919aa32fef3992 VonFrickleProgDay08T15.flac:b5ac054a6effea7b029f2d621cac9584 VonFrickleProgDay08T16.flac:4c1ba5945262302031072fcf5f8bb709 VonFrickleProgDay08T17.flac:e3ba9f61c717c02fce9df296189b1cb7 |
