Mialee, blogmaster of the wonderful Ambient Highway brought this
recording to my attention last night. I'm glad he did cause its one of
the best live recordings I've heard for a long time.
This Digital Soundboard Recording is perfect, heres what nyctaper,
the man to whom I'm eternally grateful, has to say about the
recording and mix.
We recorded this show directly from the soundboard under the
best possible circumstances and the result is a professional
quality recording. We used XLR cables from the board directly
into the Apogee pre-amp and digitally captured in 24-bit with
the Microtrack.
This is a true digital soundboard recording.
The soundboard tech at Joe’s Pub mixed the show to perfection,
and the capture mix, the levels, and the soundstage are all
outstanding.
Enjoy!
And the show!
By his own words, Robert Forster performed one of the best sets
of music he has ever played last night at Joe’s Pub.
The seventy-minute set was tight, well-paced
and executed to perfection.
The setlist drew from classic Go-Betweens numbers,
Robert’s solo career, one Velvets cover,
and a couple of numbers from his excellent new release
The Evangelist. Of particular poignancy was Robert’s heartfelt
rendition of “Demon Days”, one of final collaborations between
Forster and his longtime Go-Betweens writing partner
the late Grant McLennan. Robert’s musical accompaniment
was also outstanding — including the tremendous bass guitar
work from former Go-Betweens Adele Pickvance.
Adele’s solo on “I Can Do” was one of the highlights of the evening.

The recording was pre-approved.
I don't want to jump the gun (I should be waiting to see if I can actually play this on my computer), but I'm writing with optimism. I was at the show, drove up from d.c. for it, and to have that night of magic preserved, well, you are a GODSEND.

p.s. -- the banter, I believe, was with me!
