Us Northerners need some love too y'know =P.

I was just wondering if anyone from the board had any plans on going at this point. I go to school at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, and I'll be drivin' there with a friend of mine from Villanova. Maybe we'll even be able to drag some others along for the ride.

The website doesn't have any information yet, such as how to buy advance tickets, and how much they will cost. I'm e-mailing the address listed now for more info but I don't expect an immediete reply as it's currently 2:00 AM =P.

I'll post info as soon as I get it. If anyone gets it sooner, or would just like to let us all know you're going, give a holler!

[mel4Him]

yeah i'm planning on going with a few friends! i'm soooo excited! i emailed the guy too, but haven't gotten a response back yet. so eventually if i get really anxious i'll call him.

[Srol]

I received a reply from Brandon Loy who's in charge of this event at Messiah College. Tickets are going to be $20 each and WILL be available online at the following website, beggining March 1st.

Man, I might have to trek to PA to see Nickel Creek... I probably won't have the time or money, but I want to see them again so badly. Oh well, maybe they will make it to Ohio?

[mel4Him]

SWEET!!!!

[AgentJade]

I'll be there! Not really a huge fan of Messiah's music facilities, but hey, it's a Creek concert. ;)

Concert #5 for me :D

[Katie]

I'll be there! My friend goes to Messiah so she's getting me a ticket and I'm slumbering in the dorm with her! It's also my BIRTHDAY so that's going to be a FABULOUS present! Now to just get them to sing happy birthday to me.... or better yet play it! *sigh* Hope to see y'all there!

[AgentJade]

Nickel Creek like WHAT in three days!! :D

I'll be there with my Always Listen autographed shirt on from forever ago...I think it's time to buy a new shirt, lol. The Spring Tour 2004 shirts are rockin'. :cool: And I'll probably somehow try to shamelessly plug greenandgray.net. :D So perhaps I shall see some of you there. ;)

[Acadia Skies]

Wow... now im stoked about the new album. Guys, go see the creek this spring bc the new material is soooo good. It'll be worth it. The show tonight was really amazing, they had so much energy and the band seemed so refreshed after taking some time off...

Did anyone tape this show????????

[bl1186]

Hey
a friend of mine tape the show. Not sure how it came out yet but man it was an amazing show.

[NCLuver333]

Do you have any pictures from the show?

[AgentJade]

Oh WOW I need to get a copy of that taping...are you up for trading once you have it?

I was there in all my Always Listen tee glory LOL. :D I'll post the review I'm writing for Greenandgray.net once I have it finished. :)

I wish I could've made it to Philly. I'm going through Creek withdrawl like you wouldn't believe. :(

[flutegrl71]

I heard it was an awesome show from a friend that went. I'd like to get a copy of it, too! Drop me a line when you know anything about the recording.

[Acadia Skies]

Hey kids... i took mucho pictures and was in the front so hopefully they turn out. I'll try to get them up this weekend.
I have some shows for trading so pm me if you would bl1186 and maybe we can set something up!

[cnmberryman]

Hello,

I recorded the show as well as took some pics too. Not my best recording ever as I'm trying out new gear and don't know these mics like my old mics. As you guys know, I can't post it for download, but once I get it all tracked out I'll send out a few freebies to people who can burn more for others. Here's a mp3 sample to check out:
Nickel Creek - Grantham, PA Sample (http://www.comebackdownload.com/ncakgsample.mp3)

peace, chris
cnmberryman@mynra.com

p.s. if anyone thinks its a problem to post the clip for people to check how the recording tunred outlet me know and I'll take it down.

[headgear]

Hey Chris - thanks for the sample.

What's the second song they go into from the Fox that Sara sings? Kicks in at about 5min 40secs - is it Drone?

[AgentJade]

I thought the chorus was Mr. Vulture or something when they sang it...

[lizbeth_marie]

The song she goes into is definitely drone. She even slows it down a bit from the last couple times I've heard it. Makes the lyrics a little easier to catch.

Thanks for the sample Chris!

[flutegrl71]

Not your best recording? I thought that sounded great! Can't wait to hear the whole show!

[AgentJade]

Wow, I thought they were saying, Mr. Vulture or something, I had no clue they were saying Drone LOL.

I can't believe you didn't get drowned out by the incredibly raucous crowd that was there. LOL By the way, where were you taping from? I can swear I just heard myself laugh...LOL. I was standing RIGHT in front of the light guy. (I am also 95% sure that I heard my wooo 5 seconds in, the first really loud one LOL).

I actually have a few live ones in my collection already if you'd rather trade for this show...but I'd soooo love a copy of this show, it was a fun night.

[timRIT]

I thought the recording was excellent. Was that you on the left side of the stage w/the laptop and the mic setup next to the speaker? If so I was right next to you w/a digital SLR camera snapping away during the concert. I'd LOVE to get a copy of the CD if you get around to making any. I loved their new material, especially the Doubting Thomas song and the way the whole audience sang along to Be Thou My Vision. Best NC concert I've been to (out of 4 so far).

that was me!

peace, chris

[transformed]

that is a recording of the unplugged encore?!? i am impressed.
i would be interested in getting that show...i'll email you.

[transformed]

oh it wasn't the unplugged part. n e v e r m i n d. . .
anyway still quite nice :)

[Tall Buddie]

Only one way to say it...
Dude that rocked!!!!!!!!!!
Brought back such good memories, i was reminising the whole time. I mis it si much.

[cnmberryman]

UPDATE

Just so everyone knows, I was not happy with the sound quality so I remastered it with some info I got from my microphone builder. The show is almost ready to go and I'm just working on the acoustic encore right now. The only thing I couldn't fix was the distortion coming from the PA but aside from that it cleaned up nicely.

Here's another sample to tide you all over:

also my email account has changed:

please use: cnmberryman@cox.net for the time being.

sorry for the double post.....darn refresh button =)

[jonraz]

hey everyone I was at the show too. I was standing down in the front with everyone else. I really wanted everyone to stay sitting so that everyone could see. I first had the giant string bean and his obnoxious friends in front of me, but then I moved closer, and I found my other 2 friends who had moved up closer to the front since this was their first creek concert, my 5th, and by far the best yet!! One of my friends is only 4' 11 so she missed like the whole thing, but for the encore I put her on my shoulders for as long as I could. The excitement was incredible. I especially liked the Doubting Thomas and Rain through the window songs. It was the first time I heard Should've Known Better (I love the zip zip on the mando) and Speak live. The whole thing was jaw dropping. Props to us for being able to clap on beat to the 9/4 timing. I don't even know how to play something in that time signature and I've been playing guitar for 9 yrs now. Anyway, I think I've rambled on long enough. Glad to be back on the posts. Hello to mel4him and any others that might remember me.

Peace

Raz

[jonraz]

hey Chris, I tried to email you twice, but its not going through. i was wondering if you're still sending out some freebies of the concert. If you could email me that would be great.

Notes:

Thanks to Brandon at Messiah College, without his help this recording would not have been possible!!

This was my first outing with this mic. After this show I sent it off to California for modification and was informed that
the right channel was missing the timing plug that makes it a cardioid mic, therefore it was not acting properly and that
was why it was sounding so weird. For this SHN I duplicated the left channel and used it for both the left and right so it
is a mono recording. Most people still enjoy it, so check it out!

peace, chris

[obsessedwithNC]

Hi Chris,
I would love a copy of this show. Would you like me to mail you two (or however many needed) discs so that I can have a copy?
Thanks,
Allison
creekgeek07@yahoo.com

[banjochickie]

The clips sound AWESOME.... :D [noise] :D

any chance I could do a B&P with ya? (Or I have a Nickel Creek show from Lincoln, NE in August of '03 if you'd rather trade!)

[mterry]

I have the show, If you want to set up a trade, just send an e-mail to me.

however, the show is in FLAC format, and it will stay that way. I just dont have enough time to convert to wav and burn 2 cds instead of one. So if you are interested in the show, it's one disc, in FLAC format

send an e-mail to -

mterry@taperssection.com

and for everyone else waiting on their buies creek show......i got back from canada saturday night, so I'm finishing up on all the discs

- mark

[banjochickie]

is there a website you could point me to that explains how to convert from flac to wav? if so, i'd love to set up a trade!

luvnickelcreek@aol.com :D

[mterry]

how about I tell you? It's that easy.

of course, you will need to download the flac program (http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html)

here is where it gets easier. open the porgram. the files that you will want to change (decode) from flac to wav (audio) just drag and drop them in the open area of the flac program (the blank, white area)

after you have done that, get this, all you have to do is press 'Decode' on the right hand side of the program.

after that, you're done!

- mark

[obsessedwithNC]

OKay... let me get this straight.. so when you press decode to finish converting from FLAC to WAV, what does that do? Does it burn the songs to the 2 discs? Wow. I am confused.

[banjochickie]

Woah, I actually understood that! *feels smart* :D

[jonraz]

hey guys I was just wondering if any of you had heard back from Chris (cnmberryman) about the CD of the concert???:confused:

[transformed]

no, i haven't yet

[mterry]

i already mentioned i have the show........

if you want it in FLAC that is

[jonraz]

Now, this may be a dumb question, but for someone who has no pc at home and nothing to trade w/, is it possible to still get it from you in a CD format???

[cnmberryman]

UPDATE

Just to let everyone know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I've just been really busy with work (active duty Marine)and stuff recently. I have 6 sets of the show burned so far and am going to burn 14 more. I'm not big in to trading because of the time, etc. involved. I'm going to send the CDs as freebies to the first 20 people who asked for them, if you read this and could send me your snail mail addresses that would make it go smooth, otherwise I'll drop everyone an email. If you want to send me a cool live disc or CD of pics or something in return thats fine, but I'm not expecting anything.

Brandon, of course, I'll send you one too!!!

I'm gonna try and get them out before Friday. If you're not in the first group of CDs, hopefully someone else on the list will offer it up as a B&P, but 20 is my limit for freebies.

peace, chris

p.s. these will be in audio format

[mel4Him]

who was in the first 20?

[obsessedwithNC]

Exactly what I'm thinkin... I've only counted 6 or 7 people who asked in this thread, although I am not sure if some had asked crnbrryman outside of the forum...

[chickzilla]

ahh VERY good question, i guess if he comes back and let's everyone know... i guess i should say WHEN he does, we'll find out.
but until then i will send him a very nice pm and see if everyone has asked for them yet. :)

[Acadia Skies]

Hey guys... when someone hears can you just make a post? I suppose once someone gets it then we can just trade amongst ourselves if we werent in the 20. Sounds good?

[transformed]

when/if i get mine i'd be plenty willing to trade or b&p with a few people...i'll post again at that time.
it might be a while though because i gave him my home address and i'll be here at school for almost 2 more weeks.

[jonraz]

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has in fact received a copy of the Grantham show yet? I haven't received anything, but I thought I would throw it out there.

[transformed]

nope
