My 6th time seeing EC since 1990. It seems like he's struggling a bit these days, which is
no surprise considering his announcement that he's dealing with peripheral neuropathy.
There seemed to be a discussion after track 16 as to whether they were going to do another tune,
but then they left the stage and the lights came on, prompting the audience to boo, since I think we
we all expecting another tune. I've seen a lot of shows in this room over the years, and this was
recorded in the prime taping zone. But they seem to be using a smaller set of hanging speakers, and
so the sound is a bit more echoey than ideal, A-/B+. It's one of only four shows EC is playing in the US this year, and very likely the last time I will see him, so putting this together has been bittersweet.
