Ray Wilson & Stiltskin
24 November 2011

Recording Equipment:
Soundman OKM II professionell Originalkopf-Mikrophon
Zoom H4n Handy Recorder
Mastering: Magix Samplitude

A very long and enjoyable concert.
Unfortunately, the recording is marred by several problems: 

* Although I started recording Ali Ferguson's fine support performance, I only realised when it was almost over that the recording had stopped since I had run out of SD-space. I had forgotten to delete earlier recordings and didn't remember exactly what they were, but since the Stiltskin show was about to start I deleted a couple of tracks and managed to fit the whole show (minus a few seconds of 'Fly High') onto the card.

* It took a few seconds too long to boot up the H4N-Recorder, so I lost a few seconds of the beginning of 'Fly High'. I subsituted the missing parts from Petra Buttmann's video recording.

* In the darkness before the show, the microphone adapter's switch got switched to the low cut setting without my knowledge and so lowered the frequency range under 300 Hz by 6dB. This could not be rectified completely with my mastering tools.

These problems notwithstanding, I think the recording is still enjoyable and sonically OK, though it could have been better.

The show is quite long, so it does not fit on 2 CDs. For my own use, I compiled a 3-disc set: 
* Disc 1=Set 1 ('Bless me' through 'Razorlite'), about 62 mins
* Disc 2=Set 2 ('Fly High' through 'Inside'), about 63 mins)
* Disc 3= Encores ('American Beauty' through 'Knocking On Heaven's Door') plus Ali Ferguson's two tracks, about 42 mins

I include fade-out and fade-in versions in case you want to do the same, as well as the songs without interruptions as recorded. The artwork similarly reflects different choices. So have a careful look at the files before you start burning/printing.

Many thanks go to Petra for letting me use her photographs and helping me out with the missing audio bits!
