Anticipating a bigger draw for tonight's show, we rolled up to the club about 7:30 PM, but even by then all the center tables were tagged, so after checking the off angle views on house left and right, we headed for the back to sit dead center in front of the soundboard. Which turned out to be a pretty good choice! I thought the sound mix tonight was really excellent – a nice contrast to the murky sound from last week that prevented me from collecting many clues about the songs from that set.
