Notes

Santa Cruz, CA

Stereo soundboard with microphones - live matrix mix from cassette master

fairly excellent sound quality

CD#1: first set

CD#2: second set

2. Walkin' The Dog [with Michael Duke on keys instead of B. Csernits on this track only]

Mitch Ryder with
Joe Gutc: guitar
Billy Csernits: keyboards
Mark Gougeon: bass
Wilson Owens: drums
Michael Duke: keyboards where noted

Monitor soundboard feed with 2 Crown PZM microphones mounted on the low ceiling over the stage, 2 Nakamichi cm300 microphones (also over the stage) and one other ambient microphone mounted on balcony railing - Live matrix mix.

The matrix mix tends to be ambient sounding to add presence to the dry board signal so please don't complain that this doesn't sound enough like a soundboard - it did end up a lot better as a matrix mix than it would have sounded as board or audience alone. Since the mix was done live, this is all that there is...
