Minneapolis show was wikkid loud as well. The bass and the kick drum were chest pounding - my heart was sore after the show. I was in row 8 (i think - - give or take a row or two since I'm not 100% how many rows they filled in the Orch Pit) very close to center stage/slightly right .
I realized on the way in that I had left my earplugs in a shirt pocket from a show the previous night so I made a quick detour to a target 2 blocks from the theater and picked up 30db foam plugs to cram in my ears. Thank god I didn't just go in without any protection - I would have been miserable.
I don't think my recording is distorted and has the in your face FOB sound I was hoping for.
