2/5 is not because the taper did a bad job, it is because of something out of their control unfortuantely.

for me, nothing ruins a show recording quite like chatty audience members. on this recording, there are a couple females and a male who pretty much chat it up during matt&matt's set. it is very evident when the rest of the audience is respectfully listening to the music.. but amazingly, when the matt's are in full swing of a song, the chatters take their conversation up a notch and you can still hear them yabbering away.. just louder!

okay, ranting done.

i should end on a positive note - charlotte martin singing with matt on the cure cover 'just like heaven' :)
