And likewise, great energy and jamming from the band. --Tech Notes-- - We ran into issues with the SBD feeds being extremely hot, and due to another complication we were only able to grab a mono source that was "usable". As always, we did the best we could to mix and master the sources in order to provide an enjoyable listening experience. - As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of time on each show. Should there be a voiced demand for improvements, we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final. - Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent directly to "Trader Dan" . - Compiled/seeded by Hillgrove Recording (www.hillgroverecording.com) ********************************************************************* * For a full tour schedule, free music downloads, CD purchases, and * * much more, please check out www.RyanMontbleau.com.
