I was tired of standing from the two previous shows so I asked a friend to save me a seat for this one. Third row was a little closer than I wanted to be, especially when I saw the bass cabinets not far in front of us. Then, minutes from show time, I realized I had forgotten my earplugs in my cabin. Fortunately, my friend had extra cotton balls in his pocket (what are the odds?) otherwise I would have had to move back, not only for the recording but due to a mild case of tinnitus I recently developed. With the cotton stuffed tight in my ears, this entire show sounded muffled to me, especially when Julie's monster bass kicked in. I was sure the recording would be toast, just like last year on the pool deck with Tony Levin's bass. I was pleasantly surprised when I sampled the recording later that night, and now, after a good listen, I feel like I'm hearing it clearly for the first time.
