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

AT933 hypercardioid (3-wire) > Church Audio ST9100 (miniXLR) > Sony M10
Sec G5 Row 1, front row upper level, angled PA array pointing directly at me (a great spot. . .)

Contrast clause: Different gear from my torrent posted in May.

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 started my other rig (DPA4061s) while running to the seats, and got this  
rig up and running once in my section.  You'll hear some phasing in the first two songs as well.

In addition, the front row of the upper level has plexiglass and a railing in front of the seats. 
It affected the omnidirectional DPAs but not the hypercards. Unfortunately, while this has overall better sound 
than the DPA4061 source because the directional mics cut some of the echo and boom in the venue,
there is a buzzing/hum present starting after Brilliant Disguise due to I believe a faulty pre-amp.  It's really only 
audible between songs and during quiet sections.  Maybe someone 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. . . :-(
 
Also 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!
