No edits here. This was taped from the first row in the center of the Mezzanine, which is still a little too far from the PA. 
The place has a bit of a boomy sound, so turn the knobs until it sounds good. 
Had "mister huge clapper" next to me but managed to get the mics over the edge of the balcony and block him with some fabric. 
You can still hear him chat it up a bit, but mostly during the Utopia set. 
Nice tape, but would have been better closer to the PA. 
Made a 2nd tape, and this was just the backup. 


Enjoy it if this kid of thing is your bag!
