I'd follow a minamalist approach in a live stage situation if you still want to retain the up front step up to the mic appraoch. Two stereo microphones; a pair up top for vocals, and another pair down lower for the instruments they are playing both pairs arranged in a Blumlein pair (90 degree cardiod) all on the same stand in suspensions. Maybe a second center panned ribbon on string bass. This used to be used in the folk Hootenanny era for live recorded albumn in pubs and night clubs like the HungryI. Pick a neutral room that isn't too live. Just my 2 cents. Good luck! Ray
