Taper notes:
Continuing my New Orleans Jazzfest Appreciation series, here is another New Orleans show I've pulled out for BARN47 -- also from the amazing Saenger Theatre (which reports tell me is in the process of a renovation!). String Cheese Incident is a very polarizing band for some -- people either LOVE or HATE them with a passion. Well this is good evidence to be on the positive side for them. In fact I'd venture to say that this is the best SCI show I ever saw -- excellent song choices pulling from all aspects of their repertoire, LONG jams, good playing...and the guests! Opening band, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones help them pull of a "doesn't get any better than this" cover of Birdland, and the Karl Denson is always welcome, with any band -- especially one that has no horns at all!

Even if think that you don't like String Cheese Incidient I would strongly recommend giving this show a sample. The sound is oh-so-spectacular thanks to a location right in the sweet spot.

Enjoy!

Scott

Lineage: Neumann TLM170s(cardoid, FOB center) -> Sonosax -> Teac DAP20 (16 bit, 48khz, EMPHASIS ON) Transfer: Sony R500->Sound Devices 722 Mastered: Soundforge Pro 10.0b - *All file manipulation in Soundforge done at 24 bits* Sample rate conversion 48khz to 44.1khz using iZotope 64-Bit SRC set higher than "Highest Quality" setting w/anti-alias filter. 24 bit file then processed with SOX 14.3.1 (as recommended, keeping the file at 24 bits during the processing) to remove pre-emphasis which was applied by the Teac A>D converter. Then back to Soundforge for minor loud clap removal, volume normalization and finally dithered back to 16 bits using using iZotope MBIT+ with Ultra noise shaping, High dither settings. Tracked in CDWav.
