The performance:
Peter and company played to a sold out crowd at O.C.'s "The Observatory" (The former "Galaxy Theatre"). The show was originally scheduled for the 300-capacity "Constellation Room". As ticket demand over the past two weeks spiked to three times that size, the show was aptly moved to the main room. The audience was a cross section of the Bauhaus faithful, trendy goths, and the O.C. kids that perhaps missed the real deal six years ago. Peter and company stormed through a 90 minute set of eleven Bauhaus standards, three newish tracks from the band's epilogue "Go Away White" and the surprising "The Three Shadows, Part II". Many of the tracks from the band's last reconveining didn't make it into tonite's set. This included or more accurately excluded "Double Dare", "God In An Alcove", "Spirit" and "Rosegarden Funeral of Sores". In spite of Peter's appreciation the band did not close with the requisite "We Love Our Audience" instead choosing Dead Can Dance's "Severance", a track conspicuously absent from that band's own reunion this past year. Peter's voice was still pretty hoarse as a result of a pretty severe cold and the fact that he is entering the Dylan period of his career. He did fare better with the Haus material than his own solo songs the night before. Still, AWEWWE should have been left of the setlist. Peter at one point towards the end of the performance professes that "This is no virtual Bauhaus". IMHO it wasn't quite Bauhaus, but it wasn't
bad either. The band's playing wasn't as much of an issue as Peter's voice. In spite of everything it was still a great show!
Emilio begins to mistakenly play "Stigmata Martyr" after "The Passion of Lovers" instead of "She's In Parties". I marked the track at the beginning of the error.
The recording...
This was my 25th PM and/or Bauhaus show for those following my progress / descent. The crowd was pretty chatty especially in the pit and an altercation broke out during BFTI as 200+ tried to vie for those coveted spots. "Massive Security" provided "Minimal Security". Fortunately the situation self-regulated before a melee broke out. Too old, too sick and too tired to deal with a throng of douchebags, I set up shop outside the pit on the second rail approximately three feet above the floor level. The venue has benefited from a substantial sound system upgrade under the new proprietors. They are also more concerned with putting on proper events rather than serving dinner. Still, it's time to re-think security though. My omnis fared much better at this venue than in the past. Sound is much more direct and much less boomy. There is a fair amount of chatter during the quiet opening of "Zikir" and the quieter TTSPII, AWEWWE, "Hollow Hills" and "Severance". Nothing that is too distracting and much of it isn't directly "on-mic" thankfully. I'm giving this an EX- in spite of mild adversity and Peter's vocal challenges. In order to preserve the dynamic range, no normalization was applied. That being said, I applied a +3dB "kiss" to "Zikir". Use your volume knob at your
own discrection. I trust you.
Of note:
Commemorative T-shirts were sold at the venue. Perhaps as a "fuck-you" to David J more than anything else. In spite of my respect, I'm in. Peter performed the very rare "The Three Shadows, Part II". The fans go "ape-shit" during "Bela". Many of which probably thought to themselves "It's a song Peter wrote about the 'Twilight' girl!" Also, Matt Flugger from "The Black Current" stage hopped and provided some additional guitar work for SIP, SM, DE and "Severance".
