Quite a good recording in my opinion. Close to the stage, very respectful audience. A couple loud clappers, but they restrained themselves pretty well. One guy can't resist saying "whoa!" whenever they play a song he doesn't expect, but he's quiet the rest of the time and he was obviously so thrilled to be there that you can't blame him too much. Nothing to really interfere with your enjoyment of the music. I included the lengthy intro/technical difficulties and leave it to you to decide if you want to keep it or delete it. First the guitar amp turned out to be dead and needed to be replaced, then the keyboards had no sound. Makes you wonder if they did a sound check. There is a bit of amusing commentary from the band during the intro. I never expected to be able to hear this music performed live. It was a great night even though it was a tuesday and turned me into a zombie a work for the rest of the week….
