Recorded from right side balcony about a 45 angle from center stage (Sec 200, Row C, Seat 17). Maybe 1/2 full house due to covid spacing. no one in the row in front of me and no one withing 5 seats on the sides. Samantha Fish opened with a great set except for a low vocal mix and way too much bass. Short set from Tab this was a co-headling tour, only the one real time of talking to/with the audience which is a big change from prior tours where he would spend 10 minutes talking. Standard set which isn't bad, just getting a little stale with the same sets over the years. Terrible house mix had the bass way too high, seats were vibrating and during the opening set by Samatha Fish (set up in front of Tab's equipment), you coulld hear the snares of Terence's drums vibrating. There's "good" bass and then there's "way too much bass", board operator needs a lesson or two. Overall a surprisingly good capture considering there was a huge pillar to my right blocking that PA. The drums and bass don't come through nearly as much as I though as I was recording. Oh and the hair. Looked like Weird Al playing with his longer hair.


Enjoy,
MrFender
