Show Notes:
Solid show by Macca's forumla. I'll give credit on the show length. Almost 3 hour show plus the 50 minute VIP soundcheck in the afternoon. Not bad for a guy about to turn 80. I will complain for the folks in the floor. Super expensive seats and the front row is probably 50 feet away from the main front catwalk. The stage feels like an isolated box in my opinion.

Recording Notes:
Brought in the Tascam 2D as a spare recording device, just in case. My seat was sharp stage, effectively parallel with the main vocal mics on the main front catwalk. Located in the middle between two speaker stacks. So I fired up the 2D, stuck it aimed up towards the stacks from the floor. Thankfully I was in an area where a cut between seats, so unobstructed shot towards the stacks. All considered, it's decent. Normal crowd noise and interactions, a bit boomy, and the quieter songs can get really quiet. Anyways, better than I expected very little effort.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.

Enjoy y'all!
