| Tech Notes | "BAND: The Mars Volta DATE: April 4, 2008 TITLE: "If You Don't Like It, Go Home..." VENUE: House of Blues LOCATION: North Myrtle Beach, SC, USA QUALITY: c+ audience recording Archivists: The Dover Boys A lossless recording - external mics/battery box/device (.wav format) .wav file transferred via USB & "normalized" in SoundForge & track indexing with CD Wave Editor & FLAC'd with FLAC Frontend (Level 8) The sound quality is not very good. Bad position for recording behind band's soundboard - the music was too loud and knocked down recording levels. Original .wav file was nearly flat-lined - some normalizing made it listenable. Due to mistakes made by the taper, most of Aberinkula was lost and all of Drunkship is missing. However, everything else is there including a nice Cedric rant. You can hear a guy in the crowd yell something like "What are you doing?!" which sets off Cedric. I looked at the setlist at the soundboard, and it appears that the night was cut short, maybe due to Cedric being upset. The following three songs were after Drunkship on the setlist at the soundboard, but were not played --- Ilyena Meccamputechture Day of the Baphomets. There's also a bit of digi-noise somewhere in the recording, and it is also on the master recording - sorry! TRACKS: intro music Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) Viscera Eyes Wax Simulcra Goliath pre-Ouroboros Ouroboros Tetris Tetragrammaton 1 Tetragrammaton 2 "if you don't like it..." Agadez "that's what we're doing" Cygnus.... Vismund Cygnus Aberinkula (cut short due to taper error) not there - Drunkship (recorded, but then lost due to taper error) no encores This is how the song names were listed on the setlist at the soundboard.
