Only been waiting for this for about 10 years since I missed their 2011 show here. They didn't disappoint. Awesome would be a good word to start with. The performance was a towering one IMO. One of the best 'rock' shows I've seen in years. Sound is pretty great. Solid 'A' with a bit of crowd in the quiet parts. I didn't use the low cut on my recorder so unless you are listening on good speakers the bass may be a bit overwhelming and distort. I left it as is for the full experience which was well, overwhelming. You could feel the bass through the cement floor of the old Vogue. I have to say though Lemieux's film mixing really added to the experience and listening to just the audio is a bit diminished without it.
