I've recorded several big bands at this venue, and this is definitely the best recording so far.
Down on the floor, the brass are sometimes hard to hear (especially because the soundman has a
thing about not micing the brass because he thinks they are too loud), but in the balcony,
you hear everything. The recording turned out excellent, and talking during the show was
almost nonexistent. A few pics and program scans are included. Enjoy!
