nassau73 NOTES (2022):  
--The historic Iao Theater opened its doors for the first time on August 22nd, 1928. People like Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra performed here over the years. In 1953, the movie "From Here To Eternity" premiered with Sinatra and Ava Gardner in attendance.
--The Iao actually closed in the mid 1900's because of neglect. It was rejuvenated and serves these days mainly for theater productions. 
--Tim Stiegler did a great job of helping the DNB sound shine. Although cymbal crashes can be a bit loud at times from where we were sitting.
--This recording is a cleaned up version of the original seed on etree back in 2014. For this, the screams, whoops, whistles have been cleaned up as much as possible. 
--If you prefer the original raw files, they are available on the Live Archive, otherwise, enjoy this edit.  
--As always, take it if you need it, if not just pass it on"

Aloha from Maui,

nassau73 NOTES (2014):  
--So much to say about this show.  
--First - set 2 segment of Suite At the Mission - Rainmaker - Into the Mystic was absolutely stellar. The harmonies in this hall just resonated SO MUCH that almost all of the talkers and chatterers shut up and listened and swayed to the music.
--The Iao theater is cavernous. I've never been able to pull a nice audio recording from this venue. However, Tim Stiegler (soundman) made this the very best recording I've been able to get at the Iao. Even so, I don't know if it truly captures the magic of the above mentioned sequence. All I know is you could see the satisfaction in David's demeanor after they played. --My wife also commented - Mookie sounded absolutely great. I don't know what else to say about this show except that I love watching and hearing the different drummers that play as part of the Hawaii tour each year and Wally Ingram just blew me away at every show.
--Now - moving along, the story is that the Iao is haunted. To play along (unfortunately, I already stopped recording at the end of the show) Mark ended the night dressed up as Dracula and gave the final exit message and left the stage in a coffin :-)
--Mark also introduced the show giving a history of the Iao. This is included in the intro on this recording. Just so ya know - Iao Theater was an interesting and intimate venue for this concert. It's a 350 seat Theater and was opened in 1928 as a vaudeville and movie house. During World War II, people like Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra entertained the troops here (according to Wikipedia).
--Now - DNB and Tim Stiegler made this venue realize its true potential :-)

Aloha from Maui
