I really wasn't sure how to set-up my recording levels before entering the Theatre....acoustic, but
knowing Ian Anderson, still potentially loud. However, I risked it and went in on full volume on the
basis that it was only a threesome, and it really paid off. I've had to increase volumes quite a bit
(consistently across both sets, so Set 1 levels may seem a little on the low side) but there is no distortion
whatsoever. I sat in the front row, slightly to the left as I faced the stage to benefit from the
speakers to the side of the stage - my compliments to the sound guy who stayed on the ball, with only
one small squeak of feedback all night. I had a lovely Danish couple to my right, who clapped a little louder
than I would have liked, and a lady to my left whose digital camera set-up included audio for the 'mechanical'
shutter sound which I picked up a couple of times, all very trivial in the overall scheme of things and a sign
of how good I think this recording is. But then I would, wouldn't I? :-)
