Reviewer: Crog - - January 22, 2010
Subject: Nice performance

This review is partially in response to another reviewer who mentioned the poor sound quality of this recording. I was at this concert, and have seen Josh on a number of occasions prior. This venue had a lot going for it. Nice facility, no cigarette smoke (no smoking alllowed at the Park West!). During the concert I noticed that the drummer was very cymbal-heavy. It seemed like every downbeat had a cymbal crash. The recording bears me out. This is a far cry from the first Josh concert I saw in 2003, where the drummer (Darius, I believe) was playing nothing but a snare drum. The acoustics in the room were very bass-heavy. In defense of the taper, the taper accurately captured how the concert sounded. This was also the first concert I saw with the backup guitarist, whose name I don't know. I enjoyed the concert a lot, and thank the taper for uploading it.

Subject: Great show, mediocre recording

This recording only gets 3 stars because there isn't much Josh Ritter on LMA. It should be a 2 when compared to other more commonly recorded bands. It is very bassy and drum-oriented. I've never seen a full band Josh Ritter show that was drum-oriented and this forces the vocals and other instruments into the background. I would love to see a SBD/AUD matrix though, that would really bring out the high levels!

That being said, thanks for your efforts in recording it. I appreciate any Ritter on LMA and wish more tapers would get into him.

Subject: Thank You!

I just found this...thank you so much! I have your recording of the 2-11-07 show at Park West as well...and I didn't even think to check for this one! This was the best day of the year, by far...

Katy and Rachel

p.s. it was great to meet you, thanks for singing to us :D

Subject: Josh!!!!

Awesome show. A very good mix of folk and rock. Specially appreciated Naked as a Window, Lawrence,KS, Monster Ballads. Also having Josh sing "the River" unplugged, two feet away was a special treat.

Hello to Rachel and Katie whom I had the pleasure of singing for before the show.
