Remastered Lincoln Center show

[keith from ny]

I don't know if the rest of you are as desperately strung out as I am for some new live Hem to listen to (tragically, I had to attend a wedding the night they played the Highline Ballroom here in NY), but here's a little something to help tide you over.  I spent some time over the holidays lovingly remastering my recording of their historic 02-09-2006 show with a chamber orchestra at The Allen Room, and I'm making the enhanced version available for download on tapers.org via FTP for my fellow Hem fans.  There's nothing I can do about the limitations of the mics and recorder used for the capture, but the overhauled recording does bring out the strings and woodwinds to much better effect, and overall it features substantially improved tonal balance and soundstage vs. my original upload on the Live Music Archive.

If you have an FTP client, the new version can be downloaded in FLAC format using the following parameters:

FTP site:  ftp.tapers.org
login:  ftp4all
password:  ftp4all
directory:  /drive1/hem2006-02-09.flac16

Happy New Year!

Thank you Keith.

Kudos, Keith. Many thanks for this. Glad to know I'm not the only one suffering live Hem withdrawal symptoms...

Thank you, Keith! The remastered version sounds great, though of course still not as good as the real thing. That show was something.
