Notes by the taper
Anyway, on to the show...this evening was a really sweet concert experience for me. A big thank you to my friend since 8th grade, David S, who scored us nice seats a few rows behind the board, DFC. It was an absolutely beautiful night in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, and Tom and the boys served up yet another generous serving of their soul-satisfying musical stew... a well-paced, enthusiastic, and engaging set of their time-tested, All-America rock & roll anthems, with some adventurous jams thrown in to keep things fresh and interesting. After all the years and miles on the road, the band seemed to really enjoy stretching things out on songs like Something Big, Travelin' Light and the Mojo songs..

Regarding this recording, it sounds pretty decent to me... I was under a metal roof which seems to boost the low end a little more than the high end.. perhaps it's just that I'm too damn lazy and cheap to upgrade to external mics because I just want to enjoy the show and attempt to capture the best recording I can without a lot of effort (and expense). I've posted some samples so you can decide whether the show is worth your time. I will say that the crowd around me was fairly well behaved; however, it still mystifies me as to how inconsiderate some people can be when the band starts playing a tune they don't instantly recognize and this somehow gives them license to start chatting away to their friends in a way-too-loud voice. Come on folks, show some consideration please !
