Notes:

This was my first time seeing DCD and after witnessing this performance, I'm ashamed at having never seen them live before despite being a fan since
the mid-80s. This was such a breathtaking show with their gorgeous new album, Anastasis, performed in full.

I was located on an aisle and was also right behind the venue's horizontal aisle that separates the Orchestra from the Loge, so there is a considerable
amount of phasing throughout. And you can easily hear the footsteps of those walking on the steps to my right (there's a particularly loud stomp at
the beginning of "Anabasis"). There are also various sounds of people coughing, sniffling, shutter noises, etc. And there was someone wearing a noisy
belly dancing belt that walked by me a few times.

The group to my left talked on occasion, but they are only annoying during "Amnesia" and especially in "Rising Of The Moon" when they started to talk
at a higher volume. The two women behind me were actually louder and are very audible during "Rakim" and "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove" (both of which
feature some clapping along). They can also be heard giggling at the beginning of "Rising Of The Moon" after having made a mad dash back to their seats.
Like most of the crowd, they thought the show was over with "Return Of The She-King," so the audience noise increases during that song and the subsequent
applause for a third encore. And there is some very minor mic rubbing noise in the second encore applause. Sorry about that, but a drunk in the aisle
used me to brace herself from falling (at least she didn't collapse into my lap). Also, a very loud usher can be heard before "Kiko" and there is the
sound of a plastic cup being kicked in "Rising Of The Moon." Oh, and the dude yelling for "Severance" all night long needed to be slapped.

I amplified this, but did nothing else to the recording. And if burning to cd, the suggested split is between "The Host Of Seraphim" and "Ime Prezakias."

I included some photos from the show. If you'd like to see more, please refer to my photo set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kling_klang/

A very special thanks to mixter_ for his help and friendship.

Please support the band by buying their official releases and merch. And be sure to buy a copy of Anastasis.
