This show was a vast improvement over the band's 2011 Los Angeles gig thanks to a better performance and my being seated around a more respectful group of people. Granted, there were some idiots at this show, but fortunately they weren't near me. For example, one rude screamer during Howe's acoustic solo bit seemed to put Howe in a sour mood, which was then aggravated by a technical problem on stage (I think there was an issue with Squire's cab). Otherwise, this was a really good show and everyone seemed to play exceptionally well--especially Howe (his playing during "YIND" is just phenomenal). And I really loved hearing the Fly From Here suite in its entirety and witnessing Downes play a stellar "Awaken." I was located on an aisle and was also right behind the venue's horizontal aisle that separates the Orchestra from the Loge, so there is some phasing caused by people walking in front of me. It's not as bad as it was during the opening set by Procol Harum, but it is very noticeable in "YIND" and the Fly From Here suite. And sometimes those people going by would be talking or they would loudly walk on the steps to my right. As for other noises, the loudest applause came from the man to my left, but he barely clapped (after the show, I overheard him and his friend talking about only recognizing four songs). This same man's habitual cough was actually more intrusive but that can only be heard in the quieter parts of the show. And there was someone with restless leg syndrome in the section to my right whose sneaker kept rubbing on the ground and making a squeak noise. It was really annoying at the show, but I only heard it in the recording during Howe's solo songs. And there's some singular clapping by a person way behind my right that can be heard in "ISAGP," "America," "Leaves Of Green," "Bumpy Ride" and "Awaken." There's also the sound of a plastic cup being kicked during Howe's solo songs and in "Roundabout." And that water-like sound at the end of "Awaken" is from a rather large amount of confetti being blown into the crowd. And lastly, someone had a fixation on Howe's guitar tech and kept shouting his name everytime he came out on stage to help Howe switch guitars. I amplified this, but did nothing else to the recording. And if burning to cd, the suggested split is between the Fly From Here suite and "WS." Please support the band by buying their official releases and merch and seeing them live. And be sure to pick up their most recent studio album, Fly From Here.
