From solo to trio to full band renditions of old and new material alike, and with a nice spread of fun covers, the spirited crowd was not shy in their appreciation. :) --Tech Notes-- - Overall very wet sounding as the house sound engineer employed a lot lot of reverb & delay, over-zealously so for 'Pimpers Paradise'. :( With the exception of the one track that was way overdone, the rest sounds considerably good. - A few moments of low-end weirdness at the very end of 'All Wet'. - As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of time on each show. Should there be a voiced demand for improvements, we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final. - Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent directly to: "Trader Dan" ********************************************************************* * For a full tour schedule, free music downloads, CD purchases, and * * much more, please check out www.MontbleauBand.com.
