Def Leppard: 2012-09-03 Dallas, TX (Bootradr Master AUD_2 CD)

Here's my Zoom H2 recording from the 2012 Dallas Lita Ford, Poison, and Def Leppard concert at the American Airlines Center.

The concerts were all very good shows.  However, the venues security/employees were not bootlegger friendly.  I was also video recording the concerts when, during Lita Ford's "Close My Eyes Forever", I had to close my lens for the rest of the show.  Unfortunately, she was the first act.  So other than my friend's mp4 regular digital camera video (actually looks and sounds darn good) of parts of a few songs and one or two full songs, I have no video of Def Leppard.  I was stopped three times from recording audio/video of the show and was being watched like a hawk by the venue security.  I realize now, we were most likely right next to their command post.

The tickets to this show were sent to me by a fellow bootlegger in Chicago to record Def Leppard.  He spent a lot of money to get really great seats, not just for me, but for my friend who drove me too (I'm legally blind and can no longer drive).  So I was not going to let the AA Center deter me from getting the Def Leppard show for him at least.  I went to the restroom after the Poison show, figured out a way to use the Zoom H2's recorder from the pouch on the side of my camera bag, and did the best I could.  I did some amplifying and EQ work and I am actually very happy with the sounds outcome.  You seldom hear any audience except between songs, and even then, it is not bad at all.

Overall; it was a great night and the performances were even better than I expected them to be (not that I expected anything bad).  Our location and/or the AA Canter area we were in had superb sound.  My friend, digitaljourney, used his iPhone and measured the decibel levels at 106 db :-)  But it was a clean and clear 106 db, and other than being left alone to film and record everything, everything else went great.

A special THANK YOU to the fellow bootlegger who'll remain anonymous until/unless I get their consent to post their name!!!

For all others, and as always, enjoy the show..
