Comments:

ok first off great freakin seats,graet fraekin sound,i was truly in the "SWEET SPOT" that night
,thers a little phasing here and there due to me videotaping the show as well,don't worry the 
dvd will be up shortly witn this sound,the cam sound is quite good as well but this sound is 
better,very ambient like u r there,i'm quite happy with these church audio stealth mics so far.
ok now the show,well setlist is killer,we got fiddlers green man ,i've been waiting and waiting 
and bang there she is..oh it was a beautiful experince!!! meridian great jam,gord still spastic
as ever and i loved it!!!!,got some graet close ups on the vid!!! ok now for the whole family 
band matrix reasoning,right as the show started a guy and his girlfriend came to their seats and
 we were right on the end so we were prepared to ahve to deal with taht while filming and recording
i understand just beacuse were there to capture the show we don't ahve any special rights,thats
all good with me,but these 2 just plowed right on it no excuse me,no chance to move gear,first time
thru they knocked over our water and we quickly had to grab our geat bags off the floor,fine not 
too cool,but i can deal with it,then it happens again one goes out and comes back and bang knock 
over the water again and we moved it too,ok fine once again i can deal with it,then right after 
fam band starts the girl comes walking over the seats and puts her foot right into my gear bag 
and sends the folding collapseing into itself and my bag goes down, batteries nad gear flying
 all about, i almost totally lost it,but ikept my cool,yelled in her ear that she just send a few
thousand dollars flying and she didn't seem to care,my wife ripped into her and she called my wife
the dreaded "C" word,oh man if my wife wasn't flming she would have levelled that chick!!!!and my
wifes got a very cool head under pressure,and honestly everyone it was the first time in all my time
taping that i actually considered just shutting down my gear and walking out,i honestly just couldn't
 beleive the complete lack of respect and human deceny i had just encountered,but i stayed the course
and the audio and video are freakin great and i LOVE DA HIP!!!!!!!!
so thats my story and i'm stickin to it!!!!


enjoy the show

scooby says stay hip
