It was a long night in the underground labyrinth of Oakland’s Paramount Theater last Thursday. Boone, Jon Perkins (our new assistant engineer / intern) and I spent 15 hours in the basement beneath the orchestra pit to set up and record KT Tunstall and David Gray who performed for KFOG’s Concert for Kids charity show.

It was an quite a different place from which to record. Most of the night we heard the banging of the performers’ feet  over our heads louder than the sound of the actual mix which wafted in from the hallways. At one point, we heard pieces of the duct work fall from the ceiling overhead due to one of David Gray’s more excited foot stomps.

The recording came out wonderfully, so it should turn up on the radio in the coming weeks / months. Tune into KFOG to check it out.
