Mics for a live show/PA?

Hi there,

I was looking for a stereo pair of mics to record some live shows in Chicago
next week and need a suggestion. We are going to rent two mics to record
the PA for archival purposes--not for release. The band is a standard rock
setup...the club has a very good PA, probably 400 capacity, gets pretty
loud. Would pretty much any decent condensers work or is their a set that
people have had good luck with in this type of situation?

Thank you very much,

Brian

You want small diaphram condensers, pretty much anything will meet archival
needs.
