Survivor: 1997-01-24 South Amboy, NJ (FLAC_AUD Master_Bootradr Remaster_2 CD)

This is an excellent-to-superb recording of what was being called "Jimi Jamison's Survivor" for their short lived tour.  This is Survivor, and even though the name was a little different for the band, people still called them "Survivor".

Thanks goes to (name omitted as of 2013-11-23) for getting this master recording and sharing it with others!  I took the recording shared by (name omitted as of 2013-11-23) of Mark B's master and cleaned it up.  I like the sound of this show and it is a full 1 hour, 44 minutes almost of Survivor with Jamison at this venue in New Jersey back in 1997.

Here is some addition information posted by (name omitted as of 2013-11-23) on this era of Survivor:
This is a "Survivor" show but should actually be billed as "Jimi Jamison's  Survivor" since these shows were the basis of a legal dispute between this version of Survivor and the "real" Survivor (which Jamison is back in now).  Like a good soap opera this tale has many twists and turns!

Whatever the story may be for the short-lived Jimi Jamison's Survivor, this capture is as good as it gets and the show is very entertaining.  It sounds as if the venue isn't very big and the crowd, even though enjoying the show it sounds like, is not very loud.  You got to love that when your recording a show and/or listening to one that is an audience recording.

I primarily brought up the vocals and highs slightly and left the bass side as is.  I used a filter making the environment seem more as if you were there in the recording too.  It was flat sounding on the high end and needed the EQ work as well as the filter to give it this sound that is an improvement.  It sounds much more balanced now and I think you will like it too.  And as always, if anyone's interested in the unaltered master recording, just leave a comment and when I see it I'll upload it here too.  They are both excellent versions but I am confident my mix is more enjoyable and cleaner sounding than the master recording on it's own.

Until next time...
