Show #162, Release date: 31. October, 2010

Happy Halloween!  Continuing on with 'The Wall Concert Series', from Hartford, CT., 15th October at the XL center.  Its a very compact venue with a concert seating capacity of 16,606.  The venue was formally known as The Hartford Civic Center and was the former home of The Hardford Whalers.  Pink Floyd played here back in 1987. 

This was my 6th time seeing the show.  Not many recordings exist of this night and this is one of only two I know of.  I explain a few things about the recording and I also provide three easy steps for getting that perfect recording. 

If you think you might be interested in recording concerts and for more information on equipment and what to do, please visit The Sound Professionals. 

A big thank you to RogFan for the recording.

Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH, 28. September 2010.  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is by far the best recording to date from this tour.  Bold statement?  Hear for yourself and please comment.  I can't stop listening to it.

A big thank you to Ravingandrooling for a tremendous capture of a show and for entrusting me with the original files.  With those files, I was able to lift the sound during the quieter moments, enhance the space,EQ, and apply few other tricks.  I use the car test.  If it sounds good in a car, it’s going to sound good through anything.  Tested and approved... doctored up for supersound!

Dig it.

Show #160, Release date: 2. October, 2010

Surprise, surprise, surprise!  TD Garden, Boston, MA., 30. September 2010.  This is the first night of a three night engagement with today off for the band and crew.  Roger's last show in Boston is tomorrow before heading off to NYC (Yankees still suck).  In case you are wondering about the title, it's "Roger" said yelled in a Boston accent

A big thank you to JB and Deb1 for getting this out so quickly.  Its an excellent recording but as always I doctored it up for supersound! 

If you would like to read more about this and the other Boston shows as well as other past gigs on this tour, check out my friend's blog, "Where ya been, where ya going?".  Its an excellent read and its updated constantly as he travels with the band.

Show #159, Release date: 1. October, 2010

And so it continues.  Perhaps a concert series?  Tell me what you think.  Anyway, The first US date kicked off in Chicago's United Center, 20. September 2010.  I won't post the setlist, BUT Again... the setlist should come as no surprise. 

This was a first time for many seeing this intense production.  It was my first time.  I have a "no pee during a show" policy but close to the end of the first set, nature called and I couldn't hold it anymore.  The cool thing was I felt like Pink during the bathroom scene in the film because of the concert noise in the background.  You gotta try it! Anyway, I had such a blast meeting up with everyone from AFG again and I even got to meet some great new people.  It was a very special time.

For this podcast, I took two recordings and blended them together.  One by Ravingandrooling which I doctored up and another by Tapehead2, from his 2nd version.  It sounds mindblowing!  You be The Judge.  Get it?  Enjoy!
