Recorded from the front of the bar area, behind the GA floor.

I actually was worried I wouldn't be able to make this performance due to some traveling with friends, but fortunately all that shit got canceled! I was sad to have missed the Dregs in 2024, and when I saw the first stop on the Triangulation tour was in Louisville, I knew I couldn't miss the great Steve Morse.
This was also my first visit to Headliners, and it's a great venue! The staff are incredibly kind, and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. I scoped out the area, and decided to tape from the front of the bar area. It isn't the closest to the PA, but the goal was to oliminate as much extra noise from the crowd as I could. The crowd was smaller than I thought it would have been, and most were in the seats, but I was hoping to capture a great recording!
Unfortunately, my Zoom didn't record on this night, so we're left with my backup source from the iPhone 15 Pro. I learned from the similar experience in September though, and this time it was set up for a strong capture. I'm pleasantly surprised by how well this turned out! It's nice and clear, and though there's more crowd noise than I would have liked, it's reasonable thanks to my taping position. You can hear some guys behind me on occasion, especially at the start of the show and faintly in the background during some songs toward the end of the show when they were more drunk.
The performance itself was excellent! I was particularly excited about seeing Steve on tour with Angel Vivaldi, as I am a big fan of Angel's solo work. The track selection was really fun, and I would happily see Steve again!

I would like to include a heartfelt thank you to the people over at Setlist.FM for constantly doing their best to update and accurately post setlists from every show possible. Everyone makes mistakes (and they're known for it) but they have helped me immensely in writing up track listings for my show, and lots of the information found accompanying my shows is thanks to them. Whether I have used Setlist.FM to collect information for this particular show or not, they deserve so many thanks for all the help they have given me in the past.
Finally, the confusion regarding the legality of recording concerts is because of those who sell them. I do not condone selling freely-shared live music, and blame those who sell concerts for the lack of people recording and sharing content, as well as for the bad reputation society places upon those of us who do. Let it also be noted that any who sell this recording deserve nothing more than to have their own collection confiscated and shared freely with the masses. Please only degrade audio quality for personal use. Also, I ask that you keep this info file intact.
