Recording went well. Please be advised during "Tonight, Tonight" right around
the 1:24 mark the right channel was lost due to a bump of the cable. I patched
the following 14 minutes with the left channel resulting in a dual-mono. During
the end of "Space Oddity" you will hear the stereo sound kick back in.
"The World's Fair" was one of the highlights for me, so this bums me out but the
dual-mono still sounds pretty damn good.
Thankfully, the crowd around me was respectful and did not talk over Billy or the
band's performance.
I did have to get up a few times to let the couple next to me out.
During the final song, "Angie", the entire theatre stood, finding myself
directly in line with the right stack (my seat was slightly left of the stack
facing the stage), so the sound improved a bit. The vocals especially are more
prevalent and up front during the final song of the evening.

For anyone questioning if they should attend this tour, go get a ticket right now. 
It was a wonderful evening hearing the songs stripped down and they were 
really able to shine on their own. Check out that version of "Rocket"! Wow!!!

Enjoy and please share with as many fans as you can. Please go and tape 
these guys!
