The performance:
Peter and company played to a sold out crowd at O.C.'s "Constellation Room" a 300 capacity bar inside "The Observatory". What served as the lounge space in the former "Galaxy Theatre" has been converted into a small bar complete with trendy c-note vodkas and a rather competent sound system (arguably better than the main venue). In spite of two month's rest, Peter's voice was very hoarse as a result of a pretty severe cold and the fact that he is entering the Dylan period of his career. It's a shame and almost heartbreaking at times to listen to this once iconic instrument broken and smashed beyond repair (hear: "Seven Veils"). Think of someone taking a hammer to a Bosendorfer. He struggles to keep pitch with his backing stems for much of the show. In spite of this, Peter and the band perform a cracking set of 1989's alt-music college radio staple "Deep". Mark's guitar playing has never been better as witnessed by the incendiary leads on TLBTDT
and "Roll Call". Also, Emilio seems to be a lot more comfortable with the material one year later. His violin playing is a welcome addition to MDFP and ASKOL. Oddly enough the violin strains of "Cuts You Up" were tracked. He played bass instead.
Mark's backing vox are a bit "off" during "Memory Go" (No, that's not a drunken fan). God Bless him.
The recording...
This was my 24th PM and/or Bauhaus show for those following my progress / descent. The crowd was pretty tame and respectful. Very strange by L.A. / O.C. standards. Most of the cheering / bar chatter is not directly "on mic". One girl who slid in front of me at the beginning of "Gaslit" asks me to take more pictures with her camera. I raised my index finger to my lips and she said no more. If it only were this easy all the time! All-in-all a pretty referential pull for my modest rig. Instrument mix was pretty well balance with Peter's voice moving in and out at times. "Roll Call" volume variations are due to Peter "windmilling" with mic in hand and picking up Nick's kit at times. Michael Shapiro (ex-Reckless in Vegas) performed an opening acoustic set once again. This time the audience was pretty well behaved. As a result we received a better reception from the band. In spite of Peter's vocal woes he was in very good spirits. Peter speaks of the Newtown tragedy after getting lost in the set after "Crystal Wrists". Also, he does make some vocal jabs at his former Bauhaus bandmates. In order to preserve the dynamic range, no normalization was applied. That being said, I applied a +3dB "kiss" to MDFP, ASKOL, and "Gaslit". Use your volume knob at your own discrection. I trust you.
Of note:
Peter performed the very rare "Cascade" from said album and "Your Face" from "Dust", very nice additions to the rather static setlists of the last two years. Mark played his Les Paul custom exclusively. His Schecter Corsair remained untouched.
Oh and if you enjoy the stylings of...
