   I was in sec. 1 row R.   
      
   I really felt for MM.  He was really struggling on those high notes and you   
   could tell he was frustrated.  I couldn't really hear him at all   
   when he joined SD.   
      
   SD played amazing as usuall.  The mix was lousy where I sat.  Nothing   
   was distiguishable at all.  Just a bad mix.  I have been to SD shows before   
   in amplitheatres that sounded WAY better than that. Donald seemed to   
   really enjoy himself.  Walt's playing was good, but I wish he would have   
   put a little more emotion in the solo on Black Friday (like the original).   
   I kept waiting for him to "cut loose" but it never happened. I enjoyed   
   the muted horn "argument" on Hey 19.  That was different.   
      
   Backup singers were superb in voice and form.  Carolyn looked absolutely   
   stunning in that dress. What a beautifull woman she is.   
      
   Donald's opening greeting "Hiya kids!" let you know everything was going   
   to be "ok"~!!
