Notes

Oh man, I love the chaos that Bernstein brings with his performances – seeing the startled looks of band members when he throws down an impossible challenge is priceless! On the other hand, it makes for a really difficult task trying to keep track of what's happening, a trouble compounded by the illegibility of my scribbling in the dark. I'm all ears if anyone can help clarify what really went on at this gig!
