    One of the best sounding rooms in NC. And I bought some big boy mics last week. Can't wait to run them for Yarn in this venue.

    Sweet!

    What mics did you get?

    I bought omni caps for the VM-44s yesterday. Now I'm thinking about a V3. I resisted the upgrade bug for over 5 years. And now I'm a gear slut in under a week.

    It's distorted out front sound day. This is fucking terrible. I really wanted to pull the heat with my new mics. Instead I get garbage. WtF Lincoln? Doubt this ever gets posted.

    2h 31m of Yarn. Listening to the Milab>V2>DR60D source now. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. It actually sounds pretty good on my desktop speakers right now. The sound in the room was way too loud. I did not re-stock my earplug supply.The low end was way low. I ran the Milabs higher than the rest of the mics. May have missed out on some of the subs action.The kick drum was high in the mix. Blake's vocals were a bit crunchy for most of the night. The guys opened with a new tune..."Darkest Hour" maybe?

    The guys were on fire, though. Abilene was a smoker for sure. MOO was great with Fuzz adding some fast picking on the acoustic. Mandy's song was really good. I'll post up a full set list later. I drank a low ABV beer (Founders All Day IPA) all night so I could be coherent packing up my gear (and my buddy's V2). Which I was. Then the Yarmy rolled into our hotel room and the party went until after 5 a.m.

    Set list :

    01. Darkest Hour?
    02. Bobby Weeks
    03. Down on Your Luck
    04. No Future Together
    05. I'm So Tired
    06. Music's Only Outlaw*
    07. It's All Over Now
    08. The Loner
    09. "Mandy's Song" - w/Amanda Stamey lead vocal, acoustic guitar
    10. Fussin' and Fightin' (Singin' Jim Croce)
    11. Alone On The Weekend
    12. NYC Found
    13. Abilene
    14. Turn The Light Off
    15. Devil Inside
    16. Take Me First
    17. Tennessee
    18. When The Summer Ends
    19. Bad Bad Man
    20. Salt Creek Jam>*
    21. Woman On The Interstate*

    *w/Fuzz of Caravan of Thieves

    LMA sucks. Hope the other taper's source shows up. Can't do BitTorrent from work or home.

    Thanks cd. I am beyond frustrated with upload errors. Last night I came home and 5 tracks had errored. I tried to re-up. The first track, the progress bar flew almost all the way over in a second, then I got an "IO Server Error" message. Same with the other 4. When I tried to go back, the upload screen only showed the text file.

    I will need to clear out my dropbox a bit to do that if this upload fails.

    Great review/upload. I have to say I am in love with that Amanda Stamey song. Blake got all choked up. Blake's soon to be wife can sing.

    Thanks a bunch hopped!

    Def get a Natalie Merchant vibe from Mandy's singing~

    That was fun. I'd love to see Trevor take lead vocals on a Yarn original.

    Mandy has a gig opening for Chris Knight at Southland Ballroom on 4/6. She has a great voice. I'm sure it will only get better with a little stage time under her belt.

    I def get a Natalie Merchant vibe as well.

    If I remember correctly I think Mandy sang lead on a cover I'm on Fire a few years back.

    the only time I've heard Trevor sing lead was on a Dead tune. He's great. Even Rod is great. I have some of Rod's solo albums and hes mad talented.
