2007.07.04 - Milwaukee, WS, USA @ Summerfest Festival

Source A: Nomad "Junk" Box 3 --- Church Audio Cardiods > Church Audio STC-9000 PreAmp > Nomad Jukebox 3 (@16/48)
Transfer: WAV > FLAC
Taper: 69mako
Gen: 0 from

Notes: This particular recording is fairly good. The clarity of the CAC microphones are impressive as it sounds like the taper was at some distance away from the stack(s). MJK's vocals are surprisingly clear in the mix although it sounds like many of the higher & lower frequencies of sound are kind of jumbled in the mid ranges instead of being as dynamic as one may strive for. This is not a detrimental issue by any means as the overall product is definitely well worth a listen. I do believe that this particular version of Stinkfist may have one of the best 'lyrical modifications' I've yet heard: "America, fuck yeah, mother-fucking State with a mother-fucking Gun yeah!") (2024 note: sadly, many MP3 samples did not survive migration post yahoo as OG host), this is one of them). And perhaps, for that, this performance will forever stand out in my mind. Ah if only such 'impromptu' lyrical quotes were more common...

Maynardism: "Good evening. Let's begin shall we?"

Source B: Solid State Recorder --- Core Sound Binaurals > Core Sound Battery Box (w/ bass roll-off) > M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96(@16/44.1)
Transfer: CDWave > FLAC
Taper: jrust2
Gen: 0 from Master

Notes - Taper: Incomplete because micotrack didn't save the second track. I have up to the intermission after flood. There is a little level fuck up in Jambi.
Notes - Galen: In comparison with source A, the vocals are actually a bit more down or muddy in the mix; much less clear. The bass is also a bit murky at times. However there is a bit more "meat" on this source as it sounds quite a bit more full. The crowd is a bit abrasive throughout although it is not too bad except for during breaks & in quiet parts of songs. There are some sporadic "phht/kkhhtk" sounds in the left & right channel that show up throughout the recording. Taking a guess, this has something to do with microphone issues pertaining to the input on the recorder. Unfortunately this recording is very incomplete. Combine that with the "thhkt/phht" sounds & unfortunately this recording may be best left for collectors only due to technical issues
