Notes:
- The option was at my seats, 6th row dead center in the pit, with no just monitors and
some small Bose front-fills, or further back at FOH in the boomiest room on earth, so I did
some negotiation with security and they allowed me to set up immediately in front of a small
repeater stack on the hard left side of the pit.  Anyone who's been to the Fox knows why this
was a good choice, although I'm sure the couple of centered tapes I saw rolling won't be too
bad, as there's a pretty nice sweet spot (that's still a little boomy) halfway back.  As such,
I was very close to the stack, and had the gain on the V2 as low as it could go with the HPF
active.  There's some distortion that was present in the actual mix (not sure if it was intentional,
or just overdriving of the sidefill to try to make up for the boomy room).

- During the last half of the show the V2 low battery light was flashing, so out of paranoia
for losing battery power, I switched the V2 off during the encore breaks.  Since it didn't really
save you any disc space, I left the drop-outs in place.  There's also a dropout in crowd noise
about an hour and a half into the show as I replaced the D100 batteries.  No song material lost,
just crowd noise, if this is a problem, I don't know what to say to you. :)
