Before Tommy Faucett left Sacramento for New York City to start college, his band Divided Youth played one final show at the cafe. It was PACKED and the crowd was pretty active. That might have been the biggest pit I have ever seen there. Punk Dad Brian Hanover comes up to play on a song as well.
The audio on this one was a real challenge. The sound in the venue was good, but very heavy on bass guitar and bass drum. Schoeps mics are naturally bass heavy, so there is just a ton of bass in the audience recording. The board mix had guitar and snare, but the bass in the mix sounded odd and shallow. So I had a rebalance the board, then matrix it with the audience. the rebalance settings on this one are going to look crazy, but it worked!
