View NotesI was not able to get on the floor and access the official taper section, so I set up in section 128 DFC.  A little more audience noise because of location, but  it puts the listener in an ideal "seat" for a wonderful recording.  Thanks to my partner with the Sure mic built for the iPhone, pretty cool stuff.  I had a great time and was very impressed with the lineup.  I Can't wait for MSG and Worcester!!  Maybe more....

Enjoy!
