FYI - you have to get taper tickets directly from Mraz's management.

You don't have too, it is only if you want to tape and didn't get a chance to get a ticket.  They want the "large rigs" to be in the taper section but if you have a better seat they don't really care

I know.  I was merely saying that if you wanted a taper ticket, you have to get it directly through their management, you can't get it through normal means.  You can still tape from your seat, but whether you can run a full rig remains to be seen.  I guess I'll let you guys know after next Friday.

Did you get taper tickets from the management?  For me I tried and Jason's management dropped the ball and the venue offered me back right corner first level no stands/clamps/etc allowed.  I would suggest getting your own ticket since the management doesn't seem to have good communication with the venues this tour, they said the next one will be better

No I got 2nd row seats through ticketmaster.  Right now the plan is to try to

A.) tape with stand at full height from 2nd row
B.) tape with stand at head height from 2nd row
C.) trade back to the front row of the balcony and tape from there
D.) Tell Mraz's management and the Tower to go fuck themselves

A. Good Call
B. shouldn't have to but another idea
C. Good luck if you have too
D. I will be doing that tonight but with the Orpheum instead of the Tower

Yeah I made that list before we talked.  I'd almost consider rigging something for my mg's but since I only have hyper caps, I don't think that'd work out too well.

we can run the 184s ( in hat ) > brick > sbm if we have to. the show is the 21st peter

well I just got back home, no good internet access/time in mineeapolis.

Mraz's crew could care less what you do, the venue knew about taping and that is about it, the did a light search of the bag for video equipment and sent me though.  The crowd was awesome, very quiet during the songs and very little yelling.

Be sure to tape the openers, Makana and Raul are really good.  I don't think they are on the archive but I will be happy to help BT and download from my server if there is a demand.

You should be fine with whatever, but if you have problems Tim Krieg is the Tour Manager and Dan Wise is the soundboard guy

very helpful.  thanks   also - was there not a whole lot of screaming 14 year old girls?  whoooah, i was fearing that...

[Diggin]

very few if, maybe once or twice that I heard.  I was very surprised.
I will have a few songs from the opener available, it is all I taped before my shit stopped -- long story.

[pnobles]

did you run a stand at head hight?  just wondering...and would like to hear the opener if you have some clips  thanks

[Diggin]

I had no one in front of me and I sat it on the ledge in front of me, about 2 feet high.  It was only my SP AT853s so it isn't the quality that should have been done
