This recording came out pretty nice. I recorded from a head or two away from the stage - really close. The only place the sound quality changes, is from about halfway through track 09 to the beginning of track 10 - I went about 20 feet back to the bar, and back to my spot up front. The music gets a bit quieter during this period, and you can hear bar chat a little, but it doesn't sound bad. This show kicked ass. I'd never seen Richie in the Ramones or otherwise, so it was cool to see him put on such a spirited performance. Lotta energy in that room. His new songs are really good, and the Ramones songs sound great. I liked his band a lot - all around great show. There are a few onstage mistakes (intro tape is still playing during most of "Durango 95", the end of "Howling At The Moon" gets a bit off track, vocal mic over drums falls on cymbal during "Today Your Love..." which actually sounds pretty awesome), but it doesn't take anything away from the performance. I included some cell phone photos, and some of them are pretty nice. I got Richie to sign my Marky drum stick, 'cuz I thought it would be cool to have both drummer's autographs in one place - there's a couple of shots of him signing it, that my friend took.

Enjoy -
