Mohave A great band that composed its own original eclectic americana music. A unique mixture of electric hammond dulcimer thru a wah wah pedal and other efx, along with trumpet, drums, keyboards and bass. These songs were recorded live at the Hard Rock Cafe, Orlando FL. August 12, 2005 in the Jambando/Livewire series. Mohave disbanded shortly after this performance after years of success on the road. The Jambando series was done festival style with 15 minute set changes and only a line check of mics and DI's. No real sound check. DPA 4041 mics were used as drum underheads along with kick and snare mics. A great example of capturing multiple reflections and various wavelengths of instruments in high resolution. If you are expecting 2.5 to 3 minute songs this is not for you some of these songs areup to 9 minutes long. Medley.mp3 ; Black Indian.mp3 ; Positive Vibes.mp3 ; Down to Earth.mp3 ; Battleship.mp3
