Notes: This was a special show and one of the best recordings I’ve ever made,
but have been hesitant to transfer due to its limitations. Sander’s Theatre
is a wonderful venue with excellent acoustics. The interior is all hard wood
built in the Greek Theatre style with a curved ceiling from behind the stage.
The sounds projects so well, as if you are inside of a cello. Bela and the
boys could not resist playing off mic, making it very difficult to record.
And I had some technical difficulties with some channel dropouts. I was able
to bring up the quiet parts in with the L3 multimaximizer and copy the right
channel to the left for Magic Fingers. I was on the right side of the
semicircle about 20 feet from the stage with the neumanns about 12 feet high
off the floor on open view of the band, Bela signed my tape. When sound is
good on this tape it is fantastic. They played a long set instead of taking
a break and were called back for a second encore after the house lights
came on and the PA started playing music to have Bela and Victor trade
instruments for Sinister Minister and then back for the closing of the tune.
This is an excellent recording of the early band when they were a trio. Enjoy!
