Reviewer: Cold Brains - - April 8, 2009
Subject: Good quality recording!
Truly, a great sounding recording, which is fortunate since this is the only Rock Plaza Central show currently available on the archive.

Track 1 ("I Am an Excellent Steel Horse") sounds a bit wonky (in particular, the backing vocals), but that is probably a product of the sound board zeroing in on the appropriate mix.

The remainder of the show is great, with clear lead vocals and well-balanced instrumentation. In particular, the violin, horns, and drums sound spot on in this recording.

You can hear some crowd noise (mostly talking) during the quiet parts/beginning of songs, but this is pretty recessed and does not detract from the general recording. No loud screams or talking near the mics (that I noticed).

That's for recording this show! Great job.
