There are a couple issues with this 2 tape recording. A bit of feedback on the first set; and once that clears up, there are tape dropouts on tracks 1-3 and the B side tracks 11-12. I was able to mitigate those somewhat. On the 2nd tape, the soundman screwed up and punched the reverse botton twice. Tracks 22-23 have breaks in them.
That said, there's some nice stuff here. The Boys are pretty comfortable with Magnolia now after 3 or 4 weekends; the soundman is in the back of the room now where he can somewhat hear; and the mix ends up decent after awhile. I'm pretty sure that is Matt on bass, definitely not Bernie as Charles is singing his songs. Guessing Bernie must have quit the band around this time.
Lots of high energy from Charles like on Lovelight, and his performance on the show closer Little Bit is insane. Just when you think there's nothing left, Charles floors us with a bit of magic doing the encore News Is Bad.
Easter 2009 Back to the live shows finally... Enjoy! SCopeland
