Comments:
The recording of the second night turned out very similar to the one from the night before, though I was seated much closer to the stage. A bit boomey, but I'd still give it an A/A-.
The second night's set was similar to the first night as well, although the order of the songs was shuffled around. She dropped "Grateful" from the first night, but added a recitation of "Autumn Song" (a Paul Verlaine poem), followed by "Wild Leaves". In the middle of the show, she surprised everyone with her cover of "Work", originally by Charlotte Day Wilson. It was Patti's first live performance of the song.
All in all, another excellent performance by Patti and her band!
