Comments:
The plan was to record the festival with the CA14 cards - as I forgot a cable at home, so it became the DPA4061 after all. While in the afternoon at Bombay Bicycle Club the sound was clean and clear a few rows further back, the PA was turned up extremely for Mogwai and The National. The sound became clearer when The National entered the stage, but little changed in the crashing, unclean bass. A few conversations here, single screams there, some singalongs, otherwise a good recording and an even stronger show than in London two days before, but as a good as Manchester the night before.
