Despite a ton of work in three different boroughs of NYC today, still managed to get this show up within 24 hours of its end ... whew ... somebody pass me a beer.
As fate would have it I was seated 5 rows directly in front of the center of the soundboard, approximately in the middle of the floor, in front of the right stack. The soundboard was also centered to the right stack. This made for some very odd sound throughout MSG, but I believe I was in the "sweet spot" as I heard what the Soundboard made the mix to be. My buddy who joined my « way through the show reports that where he was seated, on the left side in the back 1/3 of the floor, he could not hear the horn section. He was amazed how clear they sounded where I was. Another friend who was up on the left side in the 100's says the sound was very muted there and he could not hear Keith until Satisfaction!!!!  As you will soon be able to tell for yourself, I don't think I had any of those problems. The sound was pretty clear. Of course you have a few yahoo's whistling and screaming in inappropriate places, but hey, this is MSG in NYC, and that's going to occur no matter where you are in the arena. Then again, there was "Young Mick" in front of me ... a real annoying 6'4" pain in the ass who mimicked Mick's every move and screamed out every lyric, alternating his off key rendition of lines between his girlfriend's and his "boyfriend's" ears ... but when he faced my way, the noise was intolerable ... yet you barely hear the annoying SOB on the recording. A small miracle. I've also attached a few photo's taken with my cell phone. I was 5 rows from the stage when they rolled out the B Stage. Deja Vu to 1972 when at age 15 I sat with my 14 year old girlfriend, a quart of Southern Comfort & god knows how many joints in the first row off the corner of the stage, prime house seats given to me by the head usher due to a Ticketron printing error. On the whole, this is a very fine recording, one which I truly hope you will enjoy. Please let me know what you think. -TA
