Vulf Records’ Jack Stratton was on hand at The Blue Note to capture audio and video of the six songs. On multiple occasions, Stratton addressed the crowd to explain the recording situation. “Really, exciting, historic tonight,” Dart and Wong’s Vulfpeck bandmate began on Sunday, the final night of the four-night stand. He detailed The Fearless Flyers’ origin story and then discussed what attendees were about to witness. “Tonight, we are going to attempt the fourth studio album live in the studio of Blue Note!”

Jack Stratton went on to reveal why they picked the club. “It’s a nice dead room. We have great D.I.s (digital inputs) coming off them, good drum mics — it sounds good,” Stratton said. “Tonight might be the night! They know the tunes better than ever so tonight might be the night,” the Vulf Records “A&R” finished before shooting footage of the six new songs.
