Subject: Performance - Stellar / Sound Quality - Great Aud

In terms of sound quality, it's fairly good, and about the best one can expect from an indoor venue such as this. No excessive crowd noise or whistling evident, with crisp highs and prominent bass finely spread throughout the mix. Overall? Say an A-

As for the performance, the acoustic set is excellent, and perhaps the best acoustic Moe I've heard to date. Just can't stress it's level of coolness enough - get it for this set alone. The electric set jams as well, with notable high points and/or jams during Punchline, Moth, Chem, and McBain.

Now maybe it's just me, and I haven't listened to the Vegas shows yet, but this one just really stands out and I can't recommend it enough.

Subject: Good Not Great

I think the Alex Preston copy is better than this Merin show, not as muddy and with more hi-hat on the drums. This is the first time I've picked another source over a Merin show. Compared to his work on the Norwegian Sun and then the House of Blues shows 4/15-17/04, this particular effort pales in comparison.

Subject: lousy venue, awesome show!

whenever you walk in and see baketball hoops hanging from the walls, you know the acoustics
are gonna suck. with no curtain on the back wall in this huge rectangular box and the p.a. stacks well off the floor over peoples heads there was a vicious echo bouncing back. Steve tilted the P.a. stacks foward a bit so it wasn't as bad on saturday night. if you were in front of the soundbaord though, no problem and that's where the tapers were. if you were there and worried about the sound quality of these shows, DON'T. get 'em. especially this night where the acoustic wormwood set is worth the price of admission alone! Chucky is on fire!
and it keeps up for two more sets! this show is a must have 2004 show. get it now.

Subject: GREAT SHOW, VERY GOOD RECORDING

some of you may have read my original review, where i said this recording wasn't so good - but having given it a second listen (on my home system) i want to take it back - the recording is quite good. definitely above average. the first set (acoustic) is SICK. so good. and there are some really nice jams on the remaining discs. i would definitely get this show if i were you - you will be glad you did.
