Will this get torrented?
I am not sure; I'll have to see how it sounds. I haven't listened to it yet (haven't gotten it off the card for that matter!), but the sound at the venue wasn't balanced real well. The drums were too prominent. More like The Dave King Trio than The Bad Plus! But I'm happy to get you a copy either way...
Nice, love the BP. Did you run the 4060s? How'd you set up?
Me too. This was a sort of cool set-up as well. The concert hall (Kolner Philharmonie) is next to a museum (Museum Ludwig). At 8:00, your concert ticket got you into the museum for a Roy Lichtenstein exhibit; at 9:00, The Bad Plus played a short set (~30 or 35 minutes) in the museum; and at 10:00 they played a full set in the concert hall...
But, to answer your questions: Yes, I ran the 4060s. I was pretty close up and dead center. Call it approximate HRTF...And the crowd was good; almost no noise at all...From the crowd noise perspective, I think this will be a great recording. Worried about Ethan and Reid getting swamped in the mix, though...
I'll be seeing them again Saturday (Tilburg, NL) and am contemplating the Thursday night show at the Bimhuis (Amsterdam) too...
P.S. Sorry for the hijack!
