You can never hear BD up front--even standing right in front of him.
The best place to hear Buck is by standing back 25 feet or so.  After
I moved back a bit, I could hear him very well...

Not the best version.  Song hurt by lack of the strobe light, and yes,
the blistering ending I'm used to didn't materialize.  Still, a tune I

Not sure I agree with the last part, but I was transported by finally
hearing this tune live.  A superb performance, and it's obvious that
this song should be a regular feature of the set.  Works very well
live...

the sound was really so bad that I had a hard time getting much out
of this one.  Agreed that it has potential.  Can't wait to hear it on CD...

Must've pissed off EB, cause he said at one point:  '...You can never
have too much cowbell...' with pointed sarcasm...

Yeah, would've been okay if it hadn't been the only encore tune.
Kind of a disappointment...
