Concerts I've listened to, June 2010

1984-11-24 Eric Clapton Melbourne Australia Sports and Entertainment Centre - Quiet, hissy soundboard, and not complete. I'm listening to it because....

1978-11-03 DEVO Minneapolis MN Walker Art Center - OMG I would love to have been there. Professional soundboard. One track is on Recombo DNA. Must patch that in when I burn it.

1975-03-27 Led Zeppelin Inglewood CA The Forum - From an unmarked Millard tape. 3 hours and 40 minutes long! Beautiful recording. Crazy long solos!

1989-12-19 The Rolling Stone Atlantic City NJ Convention Center - One of my favorite concerts! EC, Axel and Izzy from GnR, John Lee Hooker. Soundboard. Just awesome.

1989-09-03 Stevie Ray Vaughn Dallas TX Cotton Bowl - Short free afternoon show. Extremely clear sound. Never heard a drum solo in a SRV show. That's about the most interesting part of the show.

1969-08-08 Pink Floyd Plumpton UK Plumpton Racetrack - A frankenshow of available sources./li>

1986-05-20 Prince Bloomington MN Carlton Celebrity Room - soundboard of Minnesota Music Awards performance - too funky for the event! too. funky.

2010-06-16 She Wants Revenge Englewood CO Gothic Theatre - Quiet recording and some mic ruffling. Pretty loud audience. Pretty good performance too.

2010-05-29 Pet Shop Boys Barcelona Spain Primavera Sound 2010 - Clean audience recording. I prefer soundboard stuff for the PSB, but this is pretty listenable.

2010-05-06 Bruce Springsteen Madison NJ Dreyfuss Theatre Fairleigh Dickinson University - Bruce and Robert Pinksy performance. Massively sub-par audience recording, but a unique performance nevertheless.

1971-11-20 Pink Floyd Cincinnati OH Taft Auditorium - 2 source matrix. One of the best performances of all time, with a 28 minute Embryo. People claim to hear riffs from Dark Side in it, but I've never picked it out. Probably too busy working while listening.

Concerts I've listened to, May 2010

1971-03-07 Genesis Woluwe St Lambert Belgium La Ferme - One of the first live Genesis records. Very pastoral at times.

1969-04-14 Pink Floyd London UK Royal Festival Hall - Rehersal for the Man and the Journey show that evening. Great loose set. From the video.

1984-03-31 New Order Frankfurt Germany Bergerhaus - Nice clean sounding audience. Rare performance of Skullcrusher.

2010-04-20 DEVO Hollywood CA Jimmy Kimmel Live - Audience recording from a TV show? I think that's a first for me. Two new songs!

1968-05-06 Pink Floyd Rome Italy Piper Club - Amazingly clean recording, from vinyl. Fantastic sounds. Some bonus tracks from London 1969-05-12.

1981-05-08 New Order Reading UK Reading University Student Union - from master. Big jam with Section 25 at the end of the gig. Pretty decent sound.

2009-08-08 Orbital Ledbury UK Eastnor Castle - Complete show! Audience! But a complete reunion show! Sadly a little too audience-y.

1976-04-10 Genesis Boston MA Orpheum Theatre - Nice audience show from the Bill Bruford era. A tad echo-y. Hmm, I guess I just figured out that I don't like Bill Bruford playing drums for Genesis. Oh well.

1970-01-18 Pink Floyd Croyden UK Fairfield Hall - A very unique set list (More, Violent Sequence, AD, Embryo, etc) with Dave all over the place and some very unique keyboard sounds as well. Too bad about the hiss.

2002-03-02 Pet Shop Boys London UK - BBC broadcast. Too bad about the static and distortion. OTOH, it's just a short show.

2010-04-17 London Philharmonic Orchestra w/ Robert McDuffie (violin) - London UK Royal Festival Hall - Glass' Violin Concerto no.2 'The American Four Seasons', a BBC broadcast. I miss the old school 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Glass compositions. Too many notes, not enough repetition now-a-days.

2010 IBM Impact-Inner Circle: Day 4

The last day in Vegas was pretty quiet. I learned about the WAS migration toolkit, WebSphere Portal futures, and even caught up on some work stuff a little bit. Delta did an awesome job notifying me that my plane was going to be late... unfortunately the notifications went to my personal cell phone (off) and personal email (not checked until in cab to airport). By the time I got to airport the 2 hour delay turned into a 3 hour delay. So I'm just killing some time at the airport with the free wifi. Unfortunately we are not due to land until 1.20am. I'm not sure I can make a 9am meeting. I feel a challenge. A stupid challenge, but a challenge nevertheless.

All in all, yet another successful trip to Inner Circle. Good stuff learned! Now I just need to type up notes and see what influence I can have at home. And I can't wait to come back to see CityCenter when it's all done!!!

2010 IBM Impact-Inner Circle: Day 3

So day 3 was a day full of meetings. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but it was OK. First time that I completely failed to get to the solution center/floor of demos & sales. But I did meet some key people at IBM including the new VP of Rational development and the MQ & MB architect. So good stuff there. I did not randomly bump into anyone who knew me, so I guess Brand Adam has been exhausted. Brand Adam did enjoy martinis and sushi for dinner. Trust me, that was good.

I did also have a nice run on a Monopoly branded slot machine. I put in a 20, went down to about 9, up over 50 and then back to 20 at which point I decided to take my even-steven and run. And I also believe that it's now been 24 hours since I last had fresh air and I think that it will be about another 16 more before I have that opportunity. Oh well. Looking forward to returning home!

2010 IBM Impact-Inner Circle: Day 2

Another full day in Sin City with IBM. And yet another day bumping into people Brand Adam certainly seems to be know far and wide, although I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing and what to do about it.

Conference wise nothing really knocked my socks off, although the CloudBurst appliance seems to be coming along nicely. I'd like to take sole credit for getting them to support zVM, but I'm sure that other customers talk to them about it as well. IBM's party was kinda lame, but then again we got there late. The Prolifics party next door at Tryst next door at Wynn was a blow out!

Nice walk in the early evening down to CityCenter. That is a cool cool place! Worth the trip just to see that!
