Regarding Blumlein at msg, there are outstanding dead tapes from the sweet spot running the soundfield st250. Pretty much the whole '93 run. Check them out on the archive. They smoke

Is the virtual coincident-stereo microphone pair configuration indicated as Blumlein in the recording notes for these?

^^  I can't speak for the Dead tapes from '93, but here's a pretty nice Black Crowes recording from '96 where Ron Keyser was running the ST250 in Blumlein. > http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=529698  In a venue where the acoustics could be as bad, if not worse, than Terminal 5 in NYC (I saw quite a number of gigs at the Capitol Ballroom, including this Crowes show) this pull sounds better than it ought to and was the impetus to get me to try Blumlein a handful of times.  The notes also indicate "FOB" and to the best of my recollection Ron was right in front of the board and not deep down in the thick of the pit.  Then again, it was a pretty hazy evening.

"13th row, center?"

"13th row, center?"

Could be wrong, memory is a bit hazy, but I think Section 2 in 1993 was front center, not back of floor like today.

Correct. This was fob sweet spot.

[Gutbucket]

Just listened.
Good one.  Good spot for it.

I can confirm section 2 was DFC when I was there a few times in the late 80'.
