Jonathan Coulton Live in Pontiac Featuring Special Guests Paul and Storm

Recorded live in Pontiac, Michigan Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at the Crofoot Ballroom. The opening act was Paul and Storm. This recording was made with the permission of the artists and the venue.

Note that the artists played 3 covers, "Baby Got Back," "Birdhouse in Your Soul," and "Sweet Caroline." These songs are under copyright by other entities. Jonathan Coulton also performed "Still Alive," but this song is work-for-hire and and the copyright is owned by Valve. Therefore, for my legal protection these songs are not included.

Note that while this was an all-ages show for purposes of admission, many of the songs contain strong language and so parental pre-screening is advised.

Technical details: recorded by Paul R. Potts at 24 bits, 96 KHz using a Sony PCM-D50, from the rear of the venue. Editing was done in Apple Logic using the Izotope Ozone mastering plug-in to provide some compression and stereo separation. Conversion to MP3 was done using Logic set to generate 192 KHz bit rate files.
