Recording Ben Harper and Sheryl Crow

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I joined the cause of “Feed America” and helped raise awareness and support for the hungry in the U.S.

FeedingAmerica

There were many great performances and appearances, including many of the cast of “Friends,” comedian Gary Shandling, and musicians Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, with Ben Harper, and a closing performance by Sheryl Crow.

Ben Harper was great as always, and at the end of one particularly quiet song exclaimed, “You people dont even shut the f**k up for hunger do ya?” Then he looks offstage and says to his son, “Thats another dollar for the swear jar. You know what, make it $20 that was worth it!” I felt his pain, but the audience still applauded!

A great show for a great cause. Look for it on DVD soon.

Equipment used: Euphonix console, 2x 24 channel fiber optic interconnects from stage to studio, an assortment of studio mics and monitors.
