Discussion of the Saskatoon show, before and after, goes here.
I'll be there, looking forward to meeting anyone else coming to this show at the Odeon.

Maybe he's thinking, "Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have left the one copy of the demo for Frank's next album in there."

I asked if I could have a bite of his hot pocket. Let's just say the whole "internet nerds go on Frank's tour bus" thing ended shortly there after.
maybe I'll kick it

Still something in the works, but life has been busy. I've moved home, I have podcasts to do, and other personal stuff going on...
In the meantime, check out podcast 20.

OK - the Beatles still sounded good in mono  |

Doh! That sucks. But it's hard to both enjoy the show and get all that technical stuff right.
However, you can "fake stereo" it in Pro Tools, no problem. They did it with all the early Beatles albums right?
I also am happy to donate money to the site. I think using it as a fundraiser is a great idea. I'm sure the good folks here would chip in.
You can also do some good stereo faking by using selective EQ to track it out into individual tracks based on frequency and then pan those a little bit. |

Oh, I'd gladly pay for a copy of this show, even with the small flaws! You folks put so much money and effort into this, I'd be happy to give a little something back. |

Oh, if anyone else has pics (especially from the bus) of this show, I'd really love to get my hands on them. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm really excited about it. They did help me patch in but otherwise any tweaking was mine, I suppose. I did mix this (really quickly) with an in-audience recording from the video (obviously with severe preference to the soundboard, but I wanted to make sure that we got a little sound from the audience and the video seemed to capture the bass better since it probably wasn't being amp'd terribly from the soundboard).
When I finish editing and everything (which will take some time given that I have 40gb of video plus two hours of sound) I'm going to see how it turns out and then see what the appropriate way to release it is.
The only problem is that because there was some initial confusion at the soundboard (I kept telling the guy he had plugged into my outputs but to no avail for the entire acoustic set), I:
a) Missed the acoustic set except on video. This might not be too bad for a fan-release, but it'll be very audience-heavy.
b) Didn't have what we eventually used for inputs panned left and right. :/ This means that although I had stereo coming in, the recording is mono, which physically hurts me. Ouch.
So I'm not sure this could ever really be released as something more than a fan-bootleg of exceptional monoraul goodly-ness, but it would be neat to do something as a fundraiser for the site and/or to help Brian and I pay off his flight here to do this event.
Anyway, stay tuned to the podcast, number 20 is basically the podcast for those who couldn't be in Saskatoon with us.

The sound on Raiderman on your "sneak peek" is fantastic! I'm guessing they tweaked the soundboard mix to make it friendly for a recording. Shouldn't this be made immediately into an official Live Album? Or something. I hope if I get in to the SF show on Wednesday they sound just as good. Billy Block seems to be particularly enjoying himslef playing drums for this band.
Anyway, the sneek peak and reporting, and generally everything this board has done for FB plans is so awesome. Is there a more active fan board in existance for fans of the rock? I think not. It seems like we get something new to listen to every week.

A tip of my hat and all other tippable items to Dean and Brian for putting on such a great event, and huge thanks to the boys in the band for being so hospitable and friendly.
Nothing is ever something.
ya ditto! what a blast! thanks again dean and brian. you guys are total class act! it was great partying with you guys and the other fans.
obviously hanging on the bus with frank and everyone else was super cool. total hospitality. frank never ceases to amaze! and then the show was absolute killer! the sound was great- and frank's voice is really sounding amazing. pretty lucky to see a show a few feet from the band, head in and out for beers and breaks, and then return to the same spot!
wow, what a week. three frank shows plus a great family trip to calgary. do i really have to go back to work tomorrow.

Got it ....thanks. Just had to delete the .txt. Thanks....its great! |

My severe case of jealousy gets a beat down when I think of how much work Dean and Brian must put into this sweet meeting place. Also nice to hear that the Man is reaching out a little to his fans at the shows. Skoal, Chuck!

Everything seems fine this side of the pond. Mac users shouldn't have a problem playing through VLC once they remove the .txt and the P.C users seem to have joy with the file too, so no worries. Muchas gracias, once again. |

I'd upload it to YouTube but the quality would degrade even more and I want to show off how good it really is. Enjoy:

THIS IS GREAT!
thanks for bringing R. Pollard and the Fading Captain Series up. Don't know if you saw it in the King's Court but I asked that sometime ago, glad I finally got an answer.
If you ask me, Frank should really do it. I would pay for the quality of those demos I heard on the podcast, certainly if they were unknown songs.
so is that christmass album comming out only on the net or also on a real disc?
