Material Live At Bonnaroo

[cdog]

This is a bootleg of the last song from Material's live set @ the Bonnaroo Music Festival this summer. A friend made the recording and I mastered it.

We were hoping livebonnaroo.com would release the board recordings as they did for many of the other artists, but apparently they're not going to do this with the Material set for various reasons... so here you have my version of it. Its not great but I was actually surprised what I was able to do with it... my main technical qualm is the drums have lost all their attack and are a little washed out by the loud vocals and guitar...

Buckethead actually busts into a little country riff around 2:50... just when you think you've seen all his tricks, hes like, "oh yeah I can chicken pick like a MOFO too..."


Overall an amazing show with stellar performances from Karsh Kale, Brain, Buckethead and Gigi... they could have played for 8 hours and I wouldn't have left. There's a Karsh Kale vs Brain drum solo thats just ridiculous... I'll post some more clips if you guys are interested.

Its a 14 MB download... I use dbpoweramps's "alt preset standard"... its pretty decent encoding.
