Hi all!
It's that time of the year again - time to bitch at the boss for the crappy gift. Time to drink at the holiday party until you make a fool of yourself. Time to cry over the amount of cash you have to spend.
Well, to help ease the tension, over the next few weeks I am going to post (in 3 parts) some Zebra that has never been heard by anyone that was not there at the time.
Some of you know that I go to a lot of shows and leave CDs running off the board during soundchecks and other odd times. Well that's exactly what I did on October 8th. It was a long soundcheck but not with a lot of playing. I was able to salvage a bit under 10 minutes of usable stuff.
Remember that these are soundcheck songs so they will not be perfect, not are they meant to be. You will hear band members calling out to the guys behind the board and off the stage to set and reset things. However, this is how I have always loved to hear a band myself. I hope you enjoy these. I will post one per week (-ish) suring the month.
The first installment is early on in the soundcheck when nothing was set up properly yet and the board wasn't even sending stereo yet. This track was a single take, 2:32 in mono 64k mp3. You will hear that only Randy's vocal mic is working for the first 2 minutes of the song and Felix's does not come in until the end.

The other two are not up there yet so don't go hunting for them!
