View Notes
This is a Trio performance in a small venue seating about 420 people and, as Bela comments during the soundcheck, "This room is live." Our setup was about 15 rows back, just to the right of the FOH board. Richard Bataglia graciously provided us with AC for our gear. The microphone was on a stand at a height of about 4 feet and right behind the back row of the orchestra section. I never did sit in my ticketed seats. The Matinee performance, which was added just a couple of weeks before, attracted families and, thus, was a much quieter crowd. The evening show, on the other hand, was much more energetic - a more "rowdy," adult audience! I included the soundcheck for historical purposes and because I have it. It's mostly just them noodling, but there are a couple of full songs toward the end. Still a fun peek into what goes into making them sound good for the show. ENJOY! -John
