I took two audience recordings of Melt Banana covering Blondie's "Heart Of Glass." One track was used to boost the guitar particularly, and had decent bass quality. The second track greatly improved the drums, and rounded out the bass. The vocals were not that great on either track, which is a common weakness of many live recordings. The final result of the various equalizing and efforts makes most of the track sound very clear, on the lines of the quality between "radio show" and "studio recording." Sadly I don't really possess the means to boost the vocals any clearer, but I doubt it'd be anything short of arduous for anyone, regardless of tools.
The other downside to the track is that one of the recorders didn't get (or make available) about 10 seconds that the other guy has, so the levels are slightly askew, but I think I evened it out as much as possible. Even the first track, actually, sounds like it might be missing something from before the track, but luckily it does seem to at least start at a decent point, so nothing had to be truncated.
The live show was May 25th 2007, in Denton Texas, at a place called Rubbergloves.
