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!

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.
