The Live Wire recording was pioneering and, I think, the best live polka music captured on "tape." The original recording captured the natural energy and excitement of the day and the musicianship was second-to-none. Live Wire II, however, failed to reproduce the understated simplicity of the original trumpet players' work and added compression, gating, and limiting that was not present in the original recording.
Scrubby was the man! Great stuff. Thanks for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This should have 20,000 views by now. Thank you.
Thank you, Walter!!!
