Notes, rambles, etc.:

This has to be my fastest matrix turnaround ever. I made one synch point and the entire thing fell into place. That’s a first for me.

ijwthstd recorded from Sec 3 row 10-ish and got more high end than I did. I was to the back of the room, left of the mixing desk in the front row of sec 119. My mics got more LFE. Two great tastes that taste great together!

Headphones recommended! However, let me know if you want a multi-channel export. It’s easily done, though I don’t think the surround experience will be that interesting. Or maybe you want the original channels to do a remaster. Be my guest.

The ‘Capt. Walker’ section of the Overture seems odd. I’ve yet to listen to other shows from the tour, but it seems like someone is missed their cue?

My fave part has to be when Simon and Pete are playing the harmony guitar parts on the ‘Helpless Dancer’ section of ‘The Rock.’

Does this intro to ‘Reign’ remind anyone else of something? Rachmaninoff?

Some dude near me decided it was more important that we hear him sing ‘Reign’ over Rog. Nice to be able to matrix and minimize him!

Peace,
