RCMH – Audience 8.9 – A nice atmosphere, even though it is a large hall there is a charming warmth here. Natalie’s vocals carry very well, she is prominent in the mix. There is some background audience chatter occasionally that adds an element of immediacy without being a distraction. I don’t usually condone chatter near the taper but the taper has done a great job with this “immersive” situation and I rather like it.
Pier 84 – Audience 9.1/SDBRD 9.3 – Very similar to the RCMH show but more clarity in the high end, and slightly better separation of instruments. This is a VERY good recording that will provide many enjoyable moments for the listener. Then after the 1st song it switches to soundboard source (radio broadcast I believe) and it is good, solid, punchy, but not quite as atmospheric as the previous source which was really quite good too.
