2023-7-21, Four Winds Casino, New Buffalo MI, MP3 Recording of the event at the Silver Creek Center. Options

[Srx17]

Here's my mp3 recording of the recent stop in Michigan at the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo. The hall there is called the Silver Creek Center.

I must say of several of concerts I've captured over the years, the sound in this venue is one of the very best I've ever experienced in person. It was my first-time ever wearing ear-plugs (I'm finally protecting myself) and it was all, still, crystal clear.

The recording was captured using a stereo mic that plugs into Apple products. From there, I took the files and ran them through Audacity for editing -- to cut fat and separate lengthy intros and talking parts. The whole thing was finalized in iTunes, where I labeled tracks and used a picture found in the Facebook group for album art. All you have to do is download all of the files and it'll come together.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the return in prowess of Ed's energy, edginess and voice on this current tour. Not to mention, these sets are so welcomed compared to what we got from the "reunion" era. They're finally tackling Hold Me Up regularly and this event also had the Mental Jewelry deep cuts Brothers Unaware and Mother Earth Is A Vicious Crowd.

As everyone knows, at this current time, Ed Kowalczyk is the only founding member touring under the LIVE name. I'll leave it there, as that horse has already been way too beaten down. Simply put, I was grateful to get any part of their catalogue -- as the long silence was sad.

This goes without saying, but it's imperative to share this freely and do whatever you can to support LIVE with attendances to shows and/or buying up some merch.

Please enjoy, thanks for having me in here!

Many thanks live2cd for your efforts in getting a FLAC version released and improving the recording.

I've uploaded the show to Mediafire for people who don't have a Dimeadozen account.

Notes:

The taper has his own method when he records and tracks live during the
recording on the iPhone 4, so there are cuts in between almost every song.
This is why you will hear fast cuts after songs are finished and some missing
crowd noise. He then distrubutes the recordings in mp3 format only. I asked
him to send me the master wave file and instead received 27 separate tracks
with tracked intros and talking tracks. I decided to merge all 27 and track
song by song as I normally would. I also cleaned up some loud "whoo's" and
screams in RX7 for him. They were spiking the wave files so much, it was hard
to listen to during playback while turning the volume up. I really do think this
is a wonderful capture and wanted it to sound the best it possibly could in
lossless. Thanks again to Josh for providing the capture!
