Benmont tells us to stick around for the next band
tried to record them but made it through one song and gave it up during the next
by this time my legs had been screaming for a while and I just gave up......

we were packed in like sardines.
Found a spot to squeeze in on the left side of the stage.
It was tough to keep a straight line between the microphone and the stage and still be stealthy.
The PA speaker was 15 feet away and so the handheld mic was pointed up towards that.
Not optimum but it worked.

Honestly wore out before the end and stopped recording during the jam sessions to search out somewhere to sit down.
The only option was the floor and it felt so good leaning against a wall.
