Hey thanks for coming Jeff!

I am glad you enjoyed the concert so much, I need to point something out. It may not seem super important, but I think it is… as recording engineer I am always concerned that my mics will lead folks to think the orchestra is amplified. Only the A Prayer Out of Stillness had any amplification. That amplification was limited to the first movement, only Patitucci, and only through the 2 small boxes on the stage! Typically the orchestra never uses amplification, so the Rite of Spring? Yup all them, no assistance!

That was great – thanks for coming to our little Blogger Night and posting your thoughts. For me it doesn’t matter if it’s a concert at Powell Hall, the Creepy Crawl or a blues festival in Mississippi — something magical (usually) happens. There are times where the constant barrage of the outside world fades away and it’s as close as I ever get to being in “the moment” — and I definitely felt that more than once on Saturday night.

the psychedelic furs used the sacrifice part of “rite” as their entrance music when they played mississippi nights way back when… as great as they were, and they were great back then, what i still remember is the stravinsky…!
