I had 48 hours to prepare for a last-minute Punk Rock set before the legendary band X. I was coming off of a lingering cold and hadn’t performed live in a significant amount of time. I was determined to create a vinyl-eccentric set that would complement both X and the energy of their crowd.

.

I arrived at the venue at 5:20 PM, and I was met a series of technical glitches and faulty unprepared equipment. This delayed progress, and by the time the turntables and mixer were functional, it was past 7 PM and I was forced to take the stage. Unfamiliar with the mixer, I had to quickly learn how to operate it while navigating the dim stage lights with a flashlight.

.

Despite these challenges, I managed to pull off a set that I’m proud of. While one channel of the recording experienced intermittent issues, I painstakingly edited the digital file to the best of my ability. Here is the result.
