Recently, there was a post in the DJ/electro section of OMN with the title Reporter challenges you to a rooftop concert. Which I would like to meet, if the folks at the Penny Jam are interested.
This past summer I began using a mobile solar-generator to record music outdoors, in natural settings, with natural acoustics through my service The Sun Time Recording Co. As the full-time engineer with the group TapWater I am heavily involved in recording and production of the group’s music. For a couple of yet unfinished songs, Rudy Slizewski and I ventured into Forest Park to record steel drums, vocals, and other percussion parts. Included here is an excerpt from one of the takes.

This is one of the benefit’s I have found to recording outdoors. Most people (musicians included) enjoy fresh air and sunshine, and being able to allow those environmental factors to affect the musicians leads to a much better product in my experience.
You can check out TapWater live at the Fez Ballroom on Jan. 23 with Mars Retrieval Unit and High Ceiling.
