First off PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD! This was my first taping nightmare ever and this is not the complete show. These are my 24 bit FLAC files. First off there is a quick drop out in “Unchained”. I was in the VIP section so it takes a bit to adjust in position of drunken happy fans, me being one of them. All is well and sounding awesome until my recorder fades during “Full Bug”. End is lost on that. Then I get the DUMBASS venue employee say I’m in wrong seat. I go over to where they say, then sent back, all during “Tattoo” and very beginning of “Everybody Wants Some”! Unbelievable. Now everything kicks ass and is as good a recording as I’ve ever made. That is til the end of “Outta Love Again” where the whole fucking thing stops taping. I was unaware til I got home and thankfully I do not have guns or I may have painted my walls.

My sincere apologies to the many that want this show. Short of Iommi/Sabbath & Rush VH was the band I wanted to make sure I taped. I wasn’t going to share this til I saw that it appears no one else may have taped. I guess some of it is better than none.

We also got the sound check which was as awesome as the show! Ed could not believe the echo in the Dome. He asked what played there to which someone yelled “tractor pulls” to much laughter. Ed was stretching his fingers and saying that three days off from playing is rough. Funny now in hindsight of band postponing shows due to exhaustion. Only one needing rest is Roth. His vocal performance is fucking cringe worthy at many times as you’ll hear. Here’s praying someone else taped this too.
