Perhaps something to do with the fact that it was Gord's 51st birthday. The band was also in great, great form. Gord's vocals were so much better than last tour and the band was absolutely not phoning it in. Gord didn't touch the guitar once. I noticed and found that interesting. Songs were a little bit on the quicker side; short and concise. Little ranting - more coherence than the average previous shows I've attended - especially lately. Fairly smooth transitions, clear setlist in mind with no technical issues or major band fuckups. Tight, polished and ready to go. Things to listen for: Some kind of short discussion about seats/tickets during Escape Is At Hand For The Travelin' Man. I'm thinking the people having the discussion stepped up into the prohibited (quieter) section where my mics were. This doesn't last long and just adds some character and colour to the recording. ********************************************** Fight the Loudness War! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war No compression was used in the post-processing of this recording to preserve it's dynamic range, listenability and authenticity. This recording will naturally sound much better cranked up loud with quality headphones!
