Caverns: The Rock & Roll Hotel; Washington, DC February 2, 2008
Posted in Audio, Live Recording by Jeff Mewbourn on February 3rd, 2008
This was my first time at the Rock & Roll Hotel in Washington, DC. It’s a nice club, super friendly staff, not too big and not too small. I was really surprised how well the room sounds. I was expecting it to be boomy because of the wide open space, but it sounds really nice in there. The only problem I have with the venue is that there really is no protection for taping, everything is wide open. Thankfully, the sound guy was kind enough to let me set up in the DJ booth directly behind the soundboard. Overall, it’s definitely a venue I’d frequent more IF I’m sure to be able to tape from the same location. I would have preferred to have been closer to the stage and not so close to the bar, but I’d have had a heart attack if I had taped from the floor. I’ll take crowd noise over getting trampled any day.
This was my first time taping Caverns, a local instrumental hard rock band from DC. Apart from making my ears bleed, I thought they were really good.
