Your apologies are accepted.

I actually didn't listen to the recording, I was making a general assumption that it most likely sounds like shit based on the reviews of the show and the recording device being used.

I don't have much to add to what's already been said, but I think it's funny how much I fit the stereotypes here.  I'm a doughy government lawyer and the next show I'm going to is indeed Fogerty at Wolf Trap.

As a long time bootleg collector, I'd give it a B-/C+.  An audience recording is always going to have the drums and bass somewhat boomy (and that room is awful), but Paul's voice is nice and clear in the mix.  Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed the performance, but the audience was unbearable. It was uncomfortably crowded.

Also, I've only been to four shows so far this year I think (S/K, Ex Hex, Mac McCaughan and the Replacements) and I think collectively I've listened to these bands for like 66.5 years.

As an aside, there was nothing wrong with the 'Mats performance on Friday. In fact, it was really really good. That being said, I think an EDM show there would be a lot of fun (if you're into that sort of thing) but the sight lines do suck. Sound was very good to great, way better than Nation ever was. It's one of those venues where I'd weigh a bunch of factors before going back. I may be selling my Belle and Sebastian ticket. But I agree that the Philly show was easier to settle into. Overall I'm glad that I went…don't mean to sound ungrateful to finally see the 'Mats. And I'm definitely more of a "Sorry Ma…" and "Stink" fan. And "Let It Be" of course. The later stuff, while being good, lacks some of the punch of earlier songs. But "Can't Hardly Wait" truly is a great song, as is "Alex Chilton". I love the variety that they picked and over the course of 2 nights I saw a ton of great music.

Ha, luckily there will be many for B&S who were not at the Mats.

Not sure I can make it to the show because of work…I'm still on the fence. If it sells out, I'm not putting myself through that again.

I had heard that after they fulfill their European show obligations that it's a permanent wrap, this info would certainly support that, I don't think there will be any 'future' shows for them to 'make up'.
