Used my new rig (Neumann KM140's w/AT shockmounts>Beyerdynamic MV100
preamp>DAP1) for the first time at The Stonecoast in Portland, Maine for the
MOE show. I was set up slightly stage right about 20 feet from the stage and
the tape came out KILLER :-) I spoke to a few people after the show who have
seen them 20+ times and said this show was one of the best they've seen.
If anyone is up for a trade, let me know!1 Being that it's my first master
with the Neumann's, I wouldn't mind circulating it. These guys can jam!

Howdy Folks,
I've been receiving several of the Bettyboard Upgrades as they are called
and was wondering if anyone knows the story of how these came to be or could
point me to a url that might have the info. I heard that someone tracked
down the person who had made the one and only PCM recording from the
original reels and my tapes say that from there they went analog out to
boost the levels and into another PCM and then onto dat (MR > PCM/a > levels
raised > PCM/a > DAT). Any further info on these tapes would be sincerely
appreciated.

Pharaoh Sanders (sax, non-Western reeds)
Willian Henderson (piano)
Badal Roy (tabla)
Adam Rudolph (percussion of all sorts)
Hassan Hakmoun (sintir)
Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center
Feb. 7th
Broadway at 65th St., NYC
212 721 6500 for tickets
35 or 25 bucks per ticket (lower for World Music Inst. members)
I might even pay for part of someone's ticket, or for the
added cost of a closer ticket (if any are left) if that
person stealthed it (or got permission) and I could
someday get a DAT of the show. Anyone planning to attend?

Hey. I know this does not directly relate to dat-heads, but this is a band
that allows all forms of taping and is just trying to get off the ground.
You can help by passing this around to everyone you know. While there won't
be taping allowed at this concert, they allow it at all of their other
shows...Please take the time to read this and vote. It would mean the world
to the band.
_______
99X in Atlanta is putting on a concert called "The Chinese New Year"
featuring two nights of huge concerts.
The second of those two nights features Lenny Kravitz AND Collective Soul.
Here's the thing...you get to pick the opener....
Dear America (featuring the two former frontmen of Acoustic Workshop) has
been selected for one of the 10 final spots after industry people narrowed
the list down from 400. You can listen to soundbites while you make your
vote for Dear America. All you have to do is go to the 99X website at:
http://www.com/99X
click on the Chinese New Year show and vote for Dear America. THE DEADLINE
IS MIDNIGHT SUNDAY. It takes about 20 seconds of your time, so please vote.
The band and I would greatly appreciate your vote.
If you would like to be on the Dear America Announcement list where you will
receive e-mails every once in a while (we won't harass you) please reply to
this e-mail and I'll take care of you.
