South Orange Performing Arts Center, South Orange, NJ

Capacity house of about 500 for this show.

This audience recording was made from the last row downstairs. That ain't so bad since downstairs has only about 15 rows.

The audience was very attentive and appreciative.

The vocals coming from the PAs were a little saturated, but not badly. I was sitting under the balcony and it may have been the small PA speakers attached to tue underside of the balcony that were a little distorted.

This was apparently Joe's first NJ appearance in 10 years and he relates the story of playing Double D's bar in Morristown for 40 people last time around.

The staff was very attentive and forbid photography or recording. I grabbed a couple of shots during the encore and they busted me for the photos anyway. But the Zoom kept recording.

The last half of the last song is cut, unfortunately. Apparently the Zoom can't handle 2 hours of record time on rechargeables. Sorry. Joe did one verse away from the mic and his voice filled the hall anyway.

A nice show and a helluva guitar player!

I don't know all the track names so if someone can assist it would be apppreciated. And Thank You's, especially internationl ones, are appreciated. It's the only reason I do this!

Zoom H2 recorder, 120 degree stereo > WAV >  Audacity (EQ, volume boost) > CDWAV (track split) > dbPowerAmp (WAV > FLAC)

Enjoy the show!
