Understanding 9/11A Silver Mt Zion Live at Cinema Passos Manuel on 2008-11-01
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band
Cinema Passos Manuel
Oporto, Portugal
November 1st, 2008 (Saturday)
Taper: j.mart (Stutter [at] sapo [dot] pt)
Source: DPA4060's > Church Audio ST-9100 (~+12dB, no HPF) > JB3 (Line-In, WAV 16bit/44.1kHz)
Location: FOB DFC. Mics in HRTF, in headband.
Lineage: Firewire > Adobe Audition 2.0 (HPF at 30Hz, [-6dB/ocatave], multiband compressor, parametric EQ, peak-limiter, hard limiting in clapping sections, normalize, fades) > CDWav 1.95 > Trader's Little Helper (FLAC 8)
Tracklist:
------ CD-A ------
01- intro / tuning up
02- 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons
03- 1,000,000 Died To Make This Sound
04- God Bless Our Dead Marines
05- Black Waters Blowed / Engine Broken Down Blues
06- Microphones in the Trees
07- I Built Myself a Metal Bird, I Fed My Metal Bird the Wings of Other Metal Birds
TRT: 01h:48m:30s
Notes: This show was mesmerizing, really one of the best I've ever seen. Also, probably one of the best recordings I've made this year, so if you like ASMZ and choose to download this, I think you're in for a treat. The room looked like a big cold cube (it was a Cinema originally), but the sound was great and the raw recording on it's own would have made a great listen. I did use a multiband compressor to enhance the loudness of the recording and balance it a bit (it's always a pain in the neck to master a recording with a double bass), and some parametric EQ to fine tune the frequency balance. Great in-between song banter as always, and respectful crowd (gotta love seated shows). Big thanks to the band for stopping by Oporto, and Efrim for being a sport and interrupting his post-show cigarette to deal with us pesky fans. This is an LMA release, so enjoy your MP3.

These are my favorite versions of "Metal Bird" and "1,000,000 Died to Make This Sound," and at least ONE OF my favorites for "God Bless Our Dead Marines." The latter song has been especially tightened up in the time since they last played it on tour.
Efrim seems especially jovial this time, and the audience really gets into the banter.
Such a well-performed, well-recorded show all around. My only complaint is that the violins are occasionally hard to hear during the louder parts, but once you get into it, this becomes rather minor.

This recording has balls!
Some great variations played and a nice sounding recording, thanks :) You could almost be there with this one, and I wish I had been!
