-- Microphones were moved from Loge because Beacon staff would not allow clamp on railing. New management rules, I guess. A security guy ordered them off after a few songs. Mics were held in left hand for a few minutes as I used right hand to position clamp on seat. It was a rowdy section but could have been worse; no one was in the two seats to my right, and the people in front of me and behind me were seated and quiet. After the set, I headed downstairs and slipped onto floor and found a fellow taper who let me clamp to his stand. I'm grateful. I share this recording, first set rowdiness and all, because to keep it bottled up would be to concede defeat to the Beacon staff.
