[LAU] And now, a REAL Hammond B3

Looks like the guys from LAHAR have posted a few selections from one of last month's gigs:

The Hammond sounds are coming from the real B3 owned by the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. The Rhodes, piano, and Clav are coming from Fluidsynth on Linux on my EEE, and the Clav is using Fons' Auto-Wah LADSPA plugin. The echo, if you hear it in the breakdown sections, is the CALF tape delay.

I'm amused that they also included the little B3 intro to a Medeski, Martin, and Wood cover, called "I Want To Ride You", though not the whole track (copyright restrictions prohibiting covers on MySpace, probably).

Obligatory Linux content: in addition to the synths, the whole show was recorded on a Zoom H3 and then Vorbis-ified (-q 7) on Linux, and sent to the guys, who then transcoded it to 128k MP3 for the benefit of MySpace. Sorry about the low bitrate.

Happy holidays, all.
