Best Live Phish CDs
Ketchup,I think the same rules apply for live recordings as applies to high-end audio. I have heard some megabuck setups that sound so-so, and very modest setups that are very involving. People see a particular brand name and assume it sounds grea... 
Best Live Phish CDs
Ketchup,My own source tapes from that weekend (AKG 480/61 & Earthworks SR77>Lunatec V2>Apogee a/d1K>Tascam DA P1) are pretty good. IMO, far too many people see Schoeps and think it's everything...And, I think the FOB crowd at some sho...

Rush,That is a wonderful recording. It seems as though Decca cornered the market on the truly gifted engineers of that era. The Maag/LSO Mendelssohn you introduced me to never ceases to amaze both in sonics and performance as well.Reading the exch...
