Zeegrizzle flew the day after the LA show to Chicago for Riot Fest. My brother and I met up with him prior to the festival and spent the day chilling. It was nice to reconnect with friends and family! We got in to the festival around 5 and we made a spot just in front of the soundboard for NIN, dead center. The sound was incredible (as usual) for Riot Fest. The first half of the show was just an onslaught of bangers. Really loved Heresy from this show. Z's capture is the best from the night. My recording was compromised with the wrong settings. Which, that's all good. This tape is amazing. We had a few talkers behind us, but the AT853s do great with the pattern they have reducing the amount of talking you hear from them. Was really grateful to see one last show on this tour with some of my good friends. Thank you again to Z for taping all these shows. He is an absolute beast and I feel like every tape he does he is getting better and better! As he just started taping in April. Very cool!

Made another blunder with the mic attenuation setting on the Marantz. Even though the levels were peaking around -9 to -6 db, the sound is blown out with bass. It is not a good representation of this show and Source 1 is a vastly superior recording. This will not be released.

Although my Schoeps tape was unlistenable, I still had the video recording I was doing as well. Plus with Zeegrizzle recording right next to me, and hearing how amazing the sound was from our vantage point. I had no worries! We were right in front of the soundboard dead center. The camera is pretty stable with moving action throughout the night. Some points of getting bumped by people. But the worst was at the end of 'Gave Up' when someone decided to try and crowd surf right behind me and I had no idea. I tried to move out of the way, but they grabbed my hat that had my microphones on them and ripped it off my head as they fell on me. Also (but at the time didn't know because I was worried about the recordings) lost my glasses and it made for a good time getting home the next day, ha! Last few seconds of Gave Up in to the Hand That Feeds is a little crazy. But thankfully my brother took the camera while I composed myself. Nothing gets you ready for getting clobbered by a failed crowd surfing attempt! The video and Z's audio together are really something. Really happy I was able to go to this show with Z and my brother and capture what we did. Great weather all day, as the forecast was supposed to be heavy rain by the end of NIN's set. Was thinking Day for Night 2017 all over again. Thankfully, didn't start raining until about midnight when we got back to our hotel.

I've been working on mixing this one for the last two years as well.. Just like Franklin. There were multiple times that I would been on a roll and then Audition would crash and I would have forgotten to save the file. So, the motivation to finish it would be gone. I'd forget about it and then come back to it... It's finally finished! As my audience tape came out brick walled to hell, I used Zee's recording. We stood next to each other and it represents how unreal the sound was at this Festival, and always is. I am very impressed how they get it so crisp. There are 3 IEM feeds used in this matrix. Some fluctuations during the first two songs but is flawless afterwards. As to some feedback from the last mix, I have toned down Trent's vocals to not be so prominent in the mix. This one was a bit difficult to sync together as even though stretching each recording to sync. They would still drift during the show. So I had to re-sync every 2 minutes or so. Plus removing all of the click tracks, it was a very tedious editing/mixing. But I am happy with the work involved to make this a very flawless capture of the Riot Fest set.
