The performance / recording... 

The Good: 
Adam's voice was in fine form a can be heard quite clearly on this recording. There is very little audience chatter with the exception of the intro and some crazy femme-on-femme altercation during "Lady" than can be remotely heard. When the audience IS heard it is to great effect. Trust me on this. Adam does take a few liberties with the arrangements of some songs, most noticibly on "Strip". A pretty respectable pull overall. Settings were dialed. Still the distance from stacks and my omnis give this a bit of "roomy" feel needless to say. Alas, I wish the bass was a bit tighter.
