I won’t be able to attend the actual concert, so I went to the esplanade this evening to hear the Boston Pops rehearse for tomorrow night’s 4th of July celebration, the Fireworks Spectacular. Neil Diamond will perform, so he was there, which was pretty cool!
I was excited to hear them play “Sweet Caroline” and grabbed my iPhone as soon as they started: Click here to hear them rehearse “Sweet Caroline”.
I wasn’t expecting anything fantastic as far as sound quality goes, as the iPhone mic definitely isn’t meant for recording live music, but it turned out pretty well! (I used the new Voice Memos application and edited it for length in Audacity after syncing with my computer.)
Enjoy! And happy birthday, America!
The quality sounds fantastic. I don’t hear you singing, though.
I am really temped to sing along myself, but alas, it is past 2 in the morning and others may not appreciate my singing at this hour. Or any hour.
I was worried that if I sang it would completely cover up everything else since I was so close to the mic. Hahaha. But don’t worry, I’ve pretty much been singing it ever since!
Nice job!
Thanks Michelle!
