Concert #5: 2010.04.13, Oakland Paramount Theatre, Oakland, CA - spoiler!!

[tunnel85]

Just been on etree and someone says "Paramount in Oakland is coming. 13t Row MK4s w/ Nbox!"

And that means what? That this person is going to the concert in that seat and whatever nbox means?

I mean, what w/ Nbox means?

Schoeps MK4 mics and Nbox preamp.
It means that we can expect an amazing sound !

localhero1986  -   Thank you!    I have been scratching my head over that for ages!

Same as Eugene version 2 show, so sound should be comparable.

I just wrote a full review of the show. It took me 1 1/2 hr to write. And now it just disappeared.  How do I retrieve it !  It's getting really late for me now. (1:30am) I need to get some sleep .  May be I will rewrite it.  I got loads of pictures not during the show but of others.  Even a picture with GF, Isacc and Jereon and all the equipment, merchandises. If I can figure how to post them.

For now, Mark and the band gave an undisputable top notch performance tonight.

Will see him again tomorrow at Santa Rosa row E.  

Oh no, I hope you were able to retrieve your review and I hope you were able to sleep.  It's hard to sleep when you're all excited -- especially about 2 MK concerts in a row

I'll wait patiently for your review.  I especially want to hear about MK "dancing" -- according to Isaac.  I love hearing about these trivial little details that make the concerts different from one another.

Oh great, my torrent client says there is no seeder, but I hope it starts downloading soon...

[JeroenvG]

I am trying to download but so far I am only uploading. I want to try to record the RAH first show with my iPhone and the app Fire Field Recorder.
Anybody ever done this before?? If I record my voice you can adjust the sound level.

I am then recording with the original iPhone in ear mic.

Story of the taper:

Really nice recording except for one problem. On Mark Knopfler's website it says
recording is permitted. I had my "teacher's note" printout and I figured I didn't
need to be on my A game stealth wise. I was checking levels and not being as discreet.
During Marbletown a stupid older woman usher saw me with it and starting giving me
a hard time. I gave her the printout and off she went. A minute or two later she
comes back with security and they take me off. He says no recording and I am arguing.
I said ask someone on the board. He gets his boss who is this dumby fa chick with a
walkie talkie who proceeds to tell me "good recorders are not allowed and that is a
good recorder". Never did she see the mics, preamp or any other cables. She wouldn't
know a good recorder is it hit her beside the head. Told me show was almost over and
they would let me return to my seat and not make me erase the files. I went back to
my seat, plugged the recorder back in and went stealth. Marbletown is missing three
minutes maybe four but the cut is not bad at all. Last time I don't go stealth
regardless of policies.

Thanks ! I posted part of my review also on Markknopfler.com (Wannee is my screen name which is also my real name)

I'm trying to seed my file, but I am having a little problem.  The torrent is in my account on the knopflertracker. But it won't seed.  Any help will be very mcuh appreciated. I's been a while since I last uploaded torrents. I hope to sort it out soon.  My recording was very discreet no trouble at all. Sound not too bad. The encore was missing.  So far away, BIA and piper.

I heard you about those over zealous security guards.  I had my pen and paper with me to write down the songs.  I laid my paper next to me near the aisle where I was sitting. The guard kept coming to tell me to not leave it there.

Well, they didn't drop CMG, but that's not the same as "we will play it again". Last tour they didn't drop DGTK, but they just didn't play it anymore.

But mayby you (all) could consider to drop abbreviations? If you don't want to write the whole song title, you could write "Knoxville" instead. It's hard to read when you have to decode the posts all the time. (BIA, MFN, TOL, ATRR-tour and so on is something else )

Mossguitar, I agree with you! I also have now and then a problem with the title of the song, especial when there are so many in one sentence! LOL

Sweetsurrender, I didn't read your review yet, but will asap! Have a great time again tonight!

[Pottel]

hey jeroen, i believe someone used his sony ericsson w995 in 2008 to record helsinki, but i can't remember a iphone being used, ever. give it a try!

[stefankock]

According to the tracklist on Dime there is no SFA during this concert 

Pottel, are you sure it was played in Oakland ?
