What a great show this was !! I don't get excited about new music too much these days, but this new CD and tour have been so refreshing. It was a real treat to see Jon perform again in Colorado after a 12 year absence, and Jean Luc is a master. The recording is pretty good - 13th row, just slightly right of dead center, but I probably needed to be about 5 rows closer to be in the sweet spot. The volume level of the show changes between very loud to very soft when the performers are talking. I did not try to alter the volume to accomodate for the fluctuation, the crowd volume level never changes, so it would take a lot of time, energy and patience (none of which I have) to really even it all out.

Check the sample and go see this show and/or get the CD. You will not be disappointed. BTW, I know of at least two other recorders at the show, so you may see more versions of the Boulder show up in the future. But, for now, I present whotrader's version of ....
