Comments:

In the spirit of full disclosure, I didn't like this show very much. Not a fan of the new bandmembers, and really not a fan of the fact that they now have TWO long, jammy songs that stretch over 17 minutes. There were some decent moments in the set ("Blackberry" and "Pawnshop" were pretty good, and I really enjoyed the encore with TTB, but when over a third of the 105-minute set is filled with lengthy jams and noodling, they lose me. This isn't 1975 anymore.

That said, the recording came out very well, so I thought I'd put this up for TBC fans who were there, or perhaps won't be able to catch them on this tour. I was front row and was afraid that I'd miss most of the sound from overhead PAs (to my ears, the mix didn't sound good at all during the show), but somehow the recording is pretty well-balanced and solid. Since there was nobody seated in front of me, there is very little crowd noise from what I can tell (I haven't listened to this in depth) other than the occasional beer vendor passing by yelling "COLD BEER!!!" (this should be banned during concerts, I think, or at least taper-friendly ones).

A 24-bit version has been posted separately. This one is in CD-ready format (for those who still burn to CD). There are no fades between discs, so feel free to put disc breaks anywhere that suits your taste.

Mp3 samples are included in the comments.
