Show Notes: A great show in a beautiful theatre, this is Melbourne's equivalent of the Beacon Theatre in New York. My third time seeing Jason and the band touring this album, this time on home soil after seeing them twice in New York and Boston last June. Another great show, though this one was sadly lacking Amanda Shires who didn't make the journey to Australia, which was a shame as I think her fiddle playing and vocals really add something to the songs. Still quite similar setlists to what I saw last year and very heavy on the new album. Some funny banter from Jason after Last of My Kind talking about the fantastic mullets he saw walking around Melbourne.

Recording Notes: I was dead centre in the orchestra section down the front, and the recording came out really well. I turned up the treble and slightly turned the bass to make it sound more crisp. If you're an Isbell fan you'll enjoy listening to this one!
