The sound quality is very good, again, comes in clear. The crowd talking doesnt come through as much as 4.15.00. I stood by the soundboard in the middle. The acoustic set came out kind if low, but mostly everyone I talked to at the show said they could barely hear the guitars with their own ears. The vocals come out very clear though. There are a few beer cups crunching in the back ground too. Again, another bar, grr. Also, a guy that walked by me during Glass and The Ghost Children turned around right in front me as he was walking by and said, "Yeah, hell yeah," you can hear it, but it's not that big, not as bad as the asshole who turned around to me at the Aragon show. Also during Mayonaise, more drunks in front of me that I tried to get away from, but somehow they kept getting in front of me, sang along to some parts, and tired to make the feedback sound twice, lol.

*note* First 2 songs with Billy Corgan Sr.*
Blank Page | Walking the Dog | Bullet With Butterfly Wings/Once In a Lifetime

A great show. What can you say, Billy's dad played with the band. Sound came out very clear, crowd noise, but that was expected. The Aragon had a bar, so you can imagen how drunk people get. A few things that happened during the recording were during Ava Adore, some asshole turned around and said, "I didn't come here to hear them" or something like that. I was pretty pissed at him. I just walked away and said nothing. Also during Bullet, my mics cut our or something I'm guessing, because for a few seconds I got all this static, and then it kicks back in. The rest came out just fine, it was just those 4 seconds. The show is complete with no cuts or gaps. I did not pause during the encores either.

Blank Page | Today

Awesome FM mix, they did a great job. It is the complete full show that was boardcast. No cuts, swear words and all. It was nice to get this show recorded on FM, so I was able to enjoy the show from the front and rock out for once.

This is probably my best recording to date. I didn't get my levels as high as I wanted to, but it still sounds amazing. I was about 50 feet from the left stacks, I was to the side. I was right on the isle, which pissed me off, but what can you do. Anyways, this show was really tough to tape. When the show started, everyone by me moved in troward the center, since you could barely see Melisa from where we were. When everyone moved in, I stayed to the side by myself, so I got little crowd noise. Only down side to this was I was completely open and 4 gaurds were within 10 feet of me all night, so I was unable to check my levels. I'm surprized they didn't see my mics. Anyways, the show turned out awesome and this is very very tradable.
