Re: The Stone gigs

The Stone is NOT a good recording environment....traffic noise gets in easily, and the space is cramped enough with the musicians, gear, and minimal PA system, adding mic stands, cables etc would be asking for trouble. Even doing a stereo capture is tough in that small space. Not that it CANT be done, but its far from ideal.


Per the recording live shows to sell as downloads (&/or physical release), etc discussion there's been here in the past it occurred to me that Zorn seemingly has the perfect scenario to pull that off (IF it can be done in an economically viable way) since it's a set, well-known location/venue (in NYC at least) & his name would provide adequate "marketing" to make their availability "known." I know of the 2 or 3 'The Stone Issues' that have been put out - just wonder why that isn't done more often. Especially for the better known names that play there. He has the record label too obviously. The "split" between all the various parties might be an issue but some equitable distribution seems possible. I'm not in that business so presumably if he thought it was worthwhile &/or a sustainabl
 e money maker he'd be doing it more already.
