Venue Notes:
Really cool theatre, WAY different than the Greek in LA, a much more informal/classic setting. It's got the stone chairs/thrones ringing the
lower level, then concrete bleachers that go up and away from the stage at an insanely steep angle...needs to be seen to be believed

Recording Notes:
Really nice, clear, open air sound, DOTUP was a treat, and Descending outdoors is ALWAYS a gem...some tape hiss from wind, but not too bad,
overall, a very "crisp" show that to these ears, is an underrated gem!
Rating : 8/10

Mastering Notes:
- Tape flip at 5:46 of "Thorn In My Pride" - seamlessly spliced, but a few seconds of music was lost.
- Tape flip during the "Encore Break" applause - seamlessly sliced, only applause lost.
