J-Card Comment More Details: Section 9 was on the floor but was not a GA. Behind the Soundboard they put up a 3' platform and added seats. They moved the soundboard up closer to the stage so they could add these seats and charge more $. Most people around me were in thier 40's and 50's so they were quiet. A little claping in a few songs but not to bad. I was on Adams side behind the Sound board behind the celeb section. 10' behind Julia Roberts (for those of you who care.)

I mounted the mics underneath my light weight sweater. One on ea shoulder aiming a little upward at the speakers. I am 6'4 so my shoulders were taller than the woman next to me. I put the dat in my fanypack on my side for easier access for volume control.

I do not have a bass roll off, it Would be good to have one, venue was very bassy!
Downloaded into WAV using EAC then ran diamond cut restoration tool softwear. I EQ out the bass at 64 and 127. I boosted the level during Running and Orginal of the spec, and manualy toned down a small section of clapping.

The beginning of pride is cut. By the time I got my ticket after waiting in line for 6 hours the dat stores were closed. I only had 90 min tapes so I had to change tapes before the encore break. When I tried to change the tape during the human right speach the machine did not eject my tape or restart before Pride. (Sorry) I am getting 90 meter tapes tomarrow that will last 3 hours for Boston.

Overall the show came out well, A- (still some bass but good) Enjoy!
