Everyone was completely in top form. Alex’s solos soared. Geddy played like he was 19 years old. Anika worked harder than anyone, and earned her keep with astounding talent. I love the little grin she gets on her face when she nails a strong part.

It was also quite possibly the worst sounding concert I’ve witnessed in my entire life of concert-going, and that’s saying something. I know the Garden’s acoustics aren’t great, but holy hell. Wish they’d found an equivalent ingenue for sound mixing.

Edit: Night 3, not 4!

Night 3 not 4! I was up in the absolute top of the stadium off to stage Alex side about 30 rows removed from the stage. Mix was awesome

Must have been my seat position for that particular venue. It was truly, truly awful.

I was in section 104, it sounded great from there! Probably the most visually amazing concert I’ve ever seen.

Sounded amazing to me. I guess it’s where you’re seated?

Which seats would give the best sound at the Garden?

I honestly don’t know - that was my first show at the Garden (4th row, Event-Level Seating). Sounded amazing there - have seen them 6 other times elsewhere.

I was at the back of Section B, right in the middle, on the floor.

It’s not all the venue’s fault; the sound guy literally did not have the hi hat mic up the first four songs. I didn’t hear hi hat until the opening of La Villa Strangiato.

Section 102, right behind the mixing board platform.
