Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
HK Areena - Turku, Finland
2013-05-07 (Tuesday, May 7, 2013)

DPA4061 > Church Audio ST9100 (microdot) > Roland R-05
Sec G5 Row 1, front row upper level, angled PA array pointing directly at me (a great spot. . .)

So, the show started at 7 fucking 15.  I was just finishing up when Big Boss Man came over the PA.
I had to run around the entire arena because the rear stage was blocked off so I didn't get to my
seat until midway through the opener.  I also had to get my other rig set up and running, so 
you'll hear some phasing in the first two songs, and a couple of people next to me arrived during
No Surrender.

In addition, the front row of the upper level has plexiglass and a railing in front of the seats.
So the sound on the omnidirectional DPAs is impacted by this, particularly while we were seated, 
which was most of the night.  Fans in the rows behind me were told to sit down by ushers until 
after Pay Me My Money Down where Bruce got most of the crowd up off their asses.

My second source for this show, with my primary arena rig, AT933 mics, will be posted shortly.  
That has overall better sound, but the buzzing/hum is present starting after Brilliant Disguise. 
It's really only audible between songs and during quiet sections.  Maybe some with sophisticated
software can figure out a way to minimize/eliminate it. . .

An excellent show, only to be outdone by night 2, but that recording unfortunately suffers from loud
buzzing from my pre-amp throughout almost the entire recording, including Wages of Sin. . . :-(
 
Dedicated to the wonderful friends I met during my travels on trains, buses, in queues, at the show in the pit. . .  
And a special thanks for my "tour guides" in Turku and Stockholm who welcomed a stranger into their group.  
You made this trip very special for me and I won't forget your generosity and friendship!  Tak! Kittos!
