Keith Emerson - keyboards
Greg Lake - vocals, 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, bass

Recorded from the balcony, Row 15, just right of center (people were scattered
sparsely throughout this part of the balcony - nobody was within 10 yards of
me in any direction!) The mighty Moog really rattled the place, and even with
a 100hz roll-off (and ample headroom on my meters) the recording distorts a
little bit near the end of 208 Lucky Man

source info: SoundProfessionals SP-BMC-3 (mounted in croakies)>
Edirol R-09HR(24bit/96khz) through mic input, low sensitivity, 100hz filter>
Peak Pro 5.2 for editing and tracking; MultiDynamics VST>FLAC (level 5)

For this recording I decided to use a VST plugin WaveArts MultiDynamics to give
a little more presence to the original recording (see enclosed jpg for settings).
As always, please don't distribute in lossy form.

show notes: this was the 5th gig of the Keith Emerson & Greg Lake tour of the
United States. Four of the early gigs were postponed, so this should have been
the 9th gig. From my perspective, this was a *much* tighter gig for both guys;
Emerson was in greater command of the difficult keyboard parts, and Lake's singing
and playing was outstanding. The acoustics of the theater were excellent, and this
recording was made in the balcony about halfway up, and without ANY noisy crowd around me.
It was nice to go to a section which had empty seats and record unobtrusively and
without disturbance.
