Notes:

* = Originally Recorded By Siouxsie and the Banshees.

This may have been one of the most sparsely attended shows I have ever seen
in an outdoor pavilion. Taylor Swift was headlining 2 sold out nights at
Paycor Stadium 10 minutes down the road, but I dont believe that to be the
reason for the attendance issues. Riverbend can hold 20k+ people and this did
not come close to half. There was barely anyone on the lawn. I do believe they
were letting those holding lawn tickets into the rear of the pavilion. I
purchased my ticket during a presale and paid full price to be up front for
good sound in section 100. Those ticket prices did not change. However, all
of the sections behind the front 3 were offered as BOGO's, Groupons and were
all heavily discounted on TM leading up to the show. I really think this tour
should have been placed in larger theaters instead of these gigantic outdoor
summer sheds. Cincinnati was not the only city, this was across the tour. I
had heard from a friend Detroit's was even worse. The good news? With so few
people in attendance, I had little to no distractions with the recording. I
did have some whistlers in the area in between songs and corrected those in
iZotope RX 7. The sound gets slightly better during "#1 Crush", just needed
to be properly dialed in. Out of all 3 sets that night, Garbage sounded the
best. Their FOH seems to always know what they're doing whenever I go to see
them. Great show, excellent setlist. What a treat it is getting to hear their
Siouxsie and the Banshees cover this tour. That will probably get the most
repeat listens from me. Turn it up!

Co-headliner with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Metric opened [both recorded].
