Delta Kings & Friends at the Krannet Center for the Performing Arts, September 3, 2009

Presented here is the entire recording of a very special night. The Delta Kings & Friends performed at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, September 3, 2009 in front of several hundred people. It was a sort of pre-Ellnora Guitar Festival concert, just one week before the kick-off of that event. The Delta Kings & Friends consisted of an all-star line up of Champaign-Urbana area guitarists performing two or so songs, backed up by the Delta Kings and a seven-piece vocal chorus.

For me it was an evening of heaven, but you be the judge.

The audio was captured by an Edirol R-09 digital recorder placed in front of the stage. It’s a little crowd-noisy, and a bit compressed due to an unfortunate enabling of the auto-gain control. Hey, it’s better than digital clipping I guess…

Enjoy, and feel free to download the files. Maybe we’ll do this again sometime, but you know, it might be one of those magic things that only strikes once.
