I was in the Pit last night. Was it me or was the sound a little "muffled" up front? This was my first time at the Greek and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it but was a little disappointed in the sound up front. Any thoughts?

I was in pit also. Vocals definitely was spotty on some songs.

That was the case at the Oakland show as well. I was about 5 yards out of Barney. For that show, the first line or two of BLT were not audible at all.

Indeed --- the Greek Theater Los Angeles was awesome! I was in the pit and between songs, I would look back up towards the seats and trees --- really amazing.

I also attended N.O. @ UC Berkeley Greek Theater during the Substance Tour (09/87) --- 25 years ago! That setting is my all time favorite --- great acoustics, great lighting, and great Greek stage architecture/background. Wow -- it's been 25 years??? Now, I have both Greeks covered.

I think this was the 8th time I've seen NO. Such a great performance. They were so full of energy. As my friend put it, "They are finally a great live band!" LOL! I've always thought they were awesome live though. I'm a little biased though. They were definitely on last night. Interesting look Barney gave Tom Chapman at the end of TPK, almost as if it to say, "what happened to the big bass ending?! " I was able to get Bernard's set list. I'll post a pic of it as soon as I figure how. :)

What was with Elgia? Sounded like Barney was playing with his thumbs, kinda like a bad middle school guitar rehearsal, was it him playing badly or was it the sound system? Then the first part of Crystal sounded like a mash of all sounds in a wadded ball... fortunately the sound system was fixed halfway through it, but it did screw it up enough that at first I didn't know what song was playing. After that, everything was awesome. Played almost every song I wanted to hear. Great time, one of my favorite concerts of all time.

Loved the show, but why was there almost no video shooting of Steve? I really wanted to see him on the screen as I couldn't see him from "C" section.

Thought the dig at Hooky was a bit unneeded (when they returned to do the encore, after a fairly long wait for an encore, Barney said, "What? Did you think we wouldn't come back, break up and not reform... is there one missing?" staring at the spot Hooky should be). I did think it was a bit of a bad coincidence as then they went into Atmosphere, and I thought, hmmm... maybe missing two?

Best part had to be meeting Barney. Couldn't believe it. We arrived earlier than expected, so me and the wife were taking our sweet time. Parking attendant noted, "Hey you might hurry one of the band members is over there." Ran over to the side service entrance driveway and sure enough it was Barney. Most people were walking on the sidewalk not even noticing him there, as he was in a corner by some bushes. There were only about 15-20 of us (have no idea how many people had seen him and left), he was going to take off, but was able to get the last picture with him... completely made my night... just wish I had brought something for him to sign, as it was completely unexpected.

By the way, did anyone elese notice that the fans were mainly either white or Asian? Hardly any Hispanics, and that's hard to do in LA...

Sound was great from Section C, great show, it was good to hear some of the older songs, and my daughters first ever gig, great night!!

They went on at 8:45, off at about 10:20ish? best that I recall.
