Show notes:
The show was played at the old university ballroom, apparently with the old PA too as they kept crapping out constantly. The gig started with massive amounts of distortion, which luckily improved a bit as the show went on, but the distortion never really went away completely and some "farts" could be heard here and there. The venue had maybe 200 people in at most, and it wasn't even half packed, which also resulted in huge hall echo that ruined the sound even further. The show itself was good but paled in comparison with the two shows at Rocktown that Blaze did exactly one year before this gig. The opening acts for the gig were Armour and
Heavy Metal Perse, neither of which were taped.
Recording & mastering notes:
Since the distortion couldn't be fixed at all, I chose to ignore that side entirely and just improve what I could. I dampened some of hte boomy bass by equalizing and tried bringing up the guitars and vocals slightly, in my opinion it turned out alright, although this is still far from being amongst my best recordings. Along with this, all I did was apply fades at the beginning and end of the set and crank up the volume via normalize and hardlimit combo.
