Our setup was about 15 rows back, just to the right of the FOH board. Richard Bataglia graciously provided us with AC for our gear. The microphone was on a stand at a height of about 4 feet and right behind the back row of the orchestra section. I never did sit in my ticketed seats. The Matinee performance, which was added just a couple of weeks before, attracted families and, thus, was a much quieter crowd. The evening show, on the other hand, was much more energetic - a more "rowdy," adult audience! I included the soundcheck for historical purposes and because I have it. It's mostly just them noodling, but there are a couple of full songs toward the end. Still a fun peek into what goes into making them sound good for the show. ENJOY! -John App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
