Lots of 1st-time listeners really enjoying the Montbleau Band sound. - 'Pimpers Paradise' is easily the gem of this set. The band nailed it down tight with Jay blazing the path on keys, and the tune really encapsulated the spirit of the evening. ;) --Tech Notes-- - Thanks to Jack Trifiro for making the band sound so great and hooking up the SBD feed. For those who don't know... Jack's da man! - As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of time on each show. Should there be a voiced demand for improvements, we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final. - Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent directly to "Trader Dan" . - Compiled/seeded by Hillgrove Recording (www.hillgroverecording.com) ********************************************************************* * For a full tour schedule, free music downloads, CD purchases, and * * much more, please check out www.RyanMontbleau.com.
