Don't Let It Bring You Down (11-7-15 San Francisco CA)

For the best results wear headphones. 
Recently I've started uploading soundboard recordings, warts and all, from my shows to this very spot on the web you have located.  All recordings are recorded directly to USB stick via a Behringer XR12 mixer.  No additional mastering/mixing/processing.  What you hear is what the audience heard exactly.  All the instruments are played by me.  There are no pre-recorded background tracks.  All the loops are created live on stage. Everything is done with live-on-the-fly looping via a Boss RC-300 looper and some fancy footwork.
