Some other show memories - the sound & lighting guy seemed unclear on the concept. All venues have music playing when the performer isn't on stage. Before/after the show, during intermission... Well, the sound guy forgot to turn it off at the start of the gig. You can hear applause, then people laughing, then slightly more applause as the house music goes away. Then, for the second set, Robyn goes on stage, putters around a little, tunes his guitar, puts on his harmonica, and then... keeps waiting for the guy to turn the stage lights on... and eventually just starts performing. The lights go up during the song. This is why there's not a big round of applause at the start.. the audience is waiting for the lights to officially announce the start of the set.

I sat squarely in front of Robyn & about half-way back in the audience, so fully in the center, It was general admission & I was early enough that I could've been just about anywhere. I hoped I would get the best recording in the center. When Robyn walked around the audience for the last song, I held the recorder at chest height, keeping it aimed in his direction. I knew the recording would probably sound like crap, because it wasn't great in the theater, but this was all I knew to do.

I don't know what Robyn was trying to do by wandering around like that, except I hoped that it was an intimate act, trying to reach out more personally to each of us, to give each of us a personal moment of connection, like an autograph, for example.

There were many songs played that I'd never heard played live before. I nearly jumped out of my skin when he started playing Flesh Cartoons. One of his longer ramblings was on the subject of his Magnum Force trilogy, which was great to hear.
