Taper Note(s) about this show:

This is number 2 of 6 shows I tapped during this tour. Another fantastic performance from BHIC. The crowd in the Orchestra was standing from the moment BHIC came on stage to the moment they left the stage, all of the other shows that I attended people did not stand until halfway through the set. This set list seemed to have more energy than
any of the other shows that I attended. The Innocent Criminals where all dressed sharp with Ben wearing a Pin Stripped suit. I did not notice very many people as dressed up for this show as I have for others. Ben Rothlessburger was in the house and Ben Harper made sure all the Steelers Fans where aware that he was there and at the end of the show Ben Harper was tossed a scarf bearing Black & Yellow that he did put on. Finally It was nice to see that Leon Mobely got a chance to get down on the percussion a little during Excuse Me Mr.

The crowd was by far the quietest I heard out of all six venues during BHIC's performance of Paris Sunrise #7, Lifeline and Where Could I Go.

Piers Faccini was the opening act

Known Technical deficiencies(s) about this recording:

About 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 minutes of Paris Sunrise #7 was inadvertently not recorded. I'm very sorry and it is very unfortunate as it was definitely the best performance I have ever seen of Ben playing this instrumental.

I did some experimenting with the recording device during this taping. I had the vloume level set a little higher than I usually do & even adjusted it during certain songs. With the volume being set higher it was necessary to apply the Low cut filter during several tracks to avoid peaking and there is a slight drop in volume and a subtle decrease in bass. Tracks with low cut filter applied during song (d1t02, d1t05, d1t08, d1t11, d2t01, d2t03, d2t09)

d1t04 & d2t09 can be very bass heavy
