This was Joe's first of two New York appearances in New York City during the Rain Tour in 2008. While I had decent orchestra seats on the rightside of the theater, in roughly the tenth row, a number of concert goers from the cheaper seats above moved in and out of the empty seats in front of mine during the performance obscuring my vision a number of times. In addition to their movement and chatter security agents were moving and flashing their flashlights throughout the rows around me as well, raising my paranoia and blowing my head each time I managed to begin to get into the show. Despite all these distractions I managed to make this recording, which I've honestly enjoyed more than the actual show. I hope you all dig it as well.
