Notes:
Finally, a soundguy who knows how to make this room sound great! I've been to at least a dozen shows at this sweet new venue, but this is the first time I ever thought any sound engineer really made it sound spectacular. Kudos to Les' soundguy. (Though moe.'s soundguy Steve Young was a close second, for their show there). You really should hear this one, for the sound quality alone.
