notes: damn! a rookie mistake! i was using a 4 hour SD card (you know, so I would be sure to have enough media to capture the entire performance). as the show ended i reached down to turn the recorder off to find that it was already off! my first thought was that i had accidentally hit stop at some point during the show. but, when i got home to survey the results, i realized that i had forgotten to format my SD card after the last show i recorded which ran about 2.5 hours, and left only about 1.5 hours of free space on the card. so, unfrtunately, the card was full after 1h33m. Christmas Time Is Here is the last song and i got most of it, i am guessing i missed about 4 minutes. it certainly could have been a lot worse, but incredibly annoying nonetheless.
band:
i didn't catch all the band names. some songs were Ben solo. some had bass, guitar, keyboard, drum. and lindsey kraft joined for a couple of songs.
bill: Ben Folds (no support act)
