From the 'Arena' tour, in the intimate Seattle nightclub known as The Triple Door.
This was a hot gig! We were treated to the then upcoming album Arena in its entirety. An assertive night of hard rock by Todd and band...and LOUD!

From an AUD I got online soon after the show itself. Possibly from a friend, Dime, or from here? (unknown source, and there were more than one recordings made that night)
A good recording that must have been challenging to set the levels for, given the piercing volume. Not the richest bottom end, so this has been remastered using Audacity. Samples from before and after are to be posted, so you can decide if it's worth downloading. I think this will be preferred, lovingly attended with more than just myself assessing it, with suggestions and making comparisons.(thanks jswetch!)
Big thanks goes to the anonymous taper!

If you like this, then please buy Todd's officially released recordings! There are several posted on his Bandcamp page, here:

And finally there will be an official release from the Arena tour! On Record Store Day, April 12th, on vinyl. I expect/hope it will be digitally available sometime soon afterwards?
