Taper's Notes
Lots of internet complaints about the Sisters before the show about prerecorded tracks, lip syncing, whatever. Drums are, and always have been, from a drum machine.
Bass and keyboards came from Ravey Davey via laptop / keyboards. Andrew's voice was a little rough at spots, but obviously not prerecorded. I got a good capture,
but the mix was off a little - with some loud transients & unintended feedback. I did some mastering to balance out the sound. Andrew, Ben and Dylan ranged over the
stage all night and interacted with the crowd. Overall, I really enjoyed myself.
