This is a recording of Ramblin' Jack Elliot & Jackie Greene from 12/13/2008
rex foundation benefit.


If you enjoy this recording, it'd be stellar if you gave a contribution
to the rex foundation over here:  http://rexfoundation.org -- you can do it
by paypal even.  That would rock, you rock!


Thanks to sandy & the rex-ing crew for throwing such fabulously cool parties,
thanks to LZ & scottie "the lame patch-guy" (hahaha, Jackie is so funny
in a nicely twisted way) for helping to obtain Jackie's permission to release.


Audio-wise, there were no boards of this, this audience is all that exists.
There's a bit of "bumpiness" at moments, can hear chairs moving,
people taping their feet...  There's also "artefacting" where I was
experimenting with some compression-limiting on the audience, when people got
crazy-loud between songs.

It was a fair effort to remove the static glitches from china doll -
it now sounds kinda like an analog tape getting munched towards the end.
Better than your ears bleeding- bummer that this didn't come off cleaner, alas.

Favorite zen-moment: Jackie's call of - & the audience response to -
"take up your china doll"- priceless in my opinion, even all the while that
the audio was crackling and fracturing to pieces.





Sound path: Neumann skm 140s->Sound Devices 722->Resample-1.8+(24/192->16/44.1khz);
minor glitch fixes w/ cooledit.
