**************************
Tapers notes: Lots of echo with this recording, one of the downsides of this venue. Live it sounds really great, but for recording purposes it creates issues. This recording encouraged me to look in to how to make SBD recordings, and a few weeks after this show I was able to test it at the same venue and it worked great. So, I am hopeful that I can get SBD recordings in the future here depending on the artist. This show was also live streamed and is available on YouTube to watch.
