Practice makes perfect. Bring the rig and if you don't like how your tape sounds, download someone else's...

Hey, consider it a challenge. Try some weird stuff, an odd configuration or different settings on your gear. I treasure those gigs where there's more than one taper so I can try something bizarre and know if I screw up I'll still have something to listen to later...

bring fatty windscreens expect for fans around you not have total disrespect for your gear and sing every song word for word... a fun expaeriment would bew face mics backwards and record crowd singing to dave...
anyway have fun and try to trade down to be on the aisle close to the center
camden is decent sound all around but it is a little boomy under the cover
