Steve Perry: 2014-05-25 St. Paul. MN (FLAC_AUD Master_Bootradr Remaster_1 CD)

On the same night as the show I recorded and just uploaded of Journey's Dallas performance, Steve Perry made his return to the stage in an Eels concert surprising many.  Most who were surprised were those of us not at the show.  But the lucky people attending the Eels concert, whether they were old enough or not to know who Steve Perry is and was, seemed to enjoy the surprise too.

There are a number of YouTube videos floating around now of that night one week ago today.  But here's something even cooler.  He did it again last night, this time in Washington, DC's Lincoln Theatre.  There is at least one good YouTube 1080i video from that performance I've seen tonight too.  Let's just hope this is leading up to a new Steve Perry release and forthcoming tour to follow.  He still has the pipes and the melody and I am hoping for the the best (a tour)!

This upload I'm making now is of an excellent audience recording of the whole Steve Perry part of the 2014-05-25 show.  However, not knowing or even caring much about the band Eels, I only obtained the Steve Perry part of the show which was the third encore for Eels.  What a treat!  And this sounds so much better than the videos (lossy) floating around on YouTube and similar sites too.  Perry's voice is up front in this very clean master audience recording shared by "captinzander" a few days back.  Thanks goes to them for sharing this recording!

LINEAGE:
Sharp MT200 Mini Disc Recorder in MDLP mode @ 48 kHz/24 bit WAV audio > portable pro Koss headphones (had to do this for the day in place of my microphones) > Soundforge (for WAV to FLAC conversion) > me > TLH > WAV > Audacity (to amplify without clipping, remove audible clicks, embed metadata/track titles and info, down sample to 44.1 kHz/16 bit audio, and re-encode as FLAC) > FLAC 6 >TLH (to align sector boundaries) > TLH (to recheck final project was error free & create and verify md5 & ffp files) > you

NOTE: I'm not really sure what was meant by the headphones use in "captinzander's" lineage?  They'd mentioned having a short in their good microphones and were unable to use them.  But the headphones part was not explained.

The original 48 kHz/16 bit FLAC files were low on volume and had a few pops/clicks in the audio so I fixed that. That may not constitute a remaster, but I call it that anyhow when work is done on a recording.  No EQ work was done nor needed on this excellent, practically superb, audience capture.

I'm adding the 1080i YouTube HD video below as a sample of the show and NOT this audience recording (that sounds much better and is not lossy audio as the video is).  You may have to change the default 360p/480p standard definition setting to 1080i at the bottom of the video to see it in high definition.   If you've already seen it, well good.  If you haven't, even better!

I hope you enjoy this historical night 'captured by (or in) the moment' ...
