Notes:

% = partial (warm up), Originally Recorded By The Tokens.
* = Originally Recorded By The Beatles.
^ = Originally Recorded By Derek and the Dominos, partial.
# = The McCoys "Hang On Sloopy" interlude.
+ = Originally Recorded By Beniamino Gigli.
% = Led Zeppelin "Rock And Roll" interlude.

Beware of a constant clapper to my left (not bad, but noticeable) and some screaming
females behind me. Thankfully, the screamers toned it down half an hour or so in.
I spent a lot of time removing some off beat claps from the lady to my left, most
notable during "My Life". I removed some random screams and yells in between songs,
so if you hear an immediate drop in crowd noise, that could be why. I only did this
once or twice. Outside of that, the show and recording went very well. Im not sure
if this was a sell out, but I read it was on various news sites at 35,000+ tickets
sold. Very impressive to see a 68 year old Billy put on a 2 & a half hour show. I
only expected 2 hours max from him. The guy just keeps going! Very happy w/ the
setlist (with it being a non MSG show). This was my first time getting to hear "The
Longest Time" & "No Man's Land" after 20 years of seeing him live. Please note,
Mike DelGuidice handled vocals on "A Day In The Life" (traded off w/ Billy), "Nessun
Dorma" & during the "Rock And Roll" interlude.

Special thanks to the family of 4 from Mansfield who moved down for me! I originally
had seat 1 on the aisle and they allowed me to sit in seat 5 which was a little bit
more in line with the far left stack.
