FINALLY, here is today’s On This Date in history. When I was checking the spreadsheet for stuff to post and I saw this one there. I knew it came from Craig Hilmer and I have his master here so I went digging through the tapes… nope… this one isn’t in there. Maybe we’ll get a master transfer when Craig comes for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass again. Haha.

The mix was pretty uneven and it changes often, but it was super low on guitar throughout so I went ahead and rebalanced it. More guitar and more vocals. There are portions of the show that are pretty badly out of balance, but it sounds good for the majority of the set.

I love the contract and setlist J-Card cover that Craig made. I think we are still adhering to its terms by putting it up here. They are getting paid, they basically gave consent through the archive.org “approved band” status. I’m sure I’ll hear about it if not. lol

Recorded by: Craig Hilmer
Transfer by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
Rebalance in Izotope Rx8: Vocal +4, Guitar +10!
