Pretty decent recording of the Ani show that daughter Cassandra and I saw in late 2015. We had 2nd row seats in one of the front sections off to the right of the stage so recording conditions were not ideal. I think after a bit of compression and judicious EQ, however, this sounds pretty good. I dipped out a bit between 80Hz and 200Hz to eliminate some of the boom of the room and give Ani's voice some support and boosted some mids and highs to bring Ani's voice and guitar up a bit in the mix. In my opinion it sounds significantly best than the master on my cheap system, but opinions vary.
Mike and Ruthy, a bluegrass/folk duo, opened the show and accompany Ani and band on Which Side Are You On and Overlap with banjo and fiddle.
A great show, ruined at at one point during See See See See, however, by some drunk bitch who thought see was entitled to stand in the space of the seat I'd purchased as buffer to get a great recording.
