        We were not much further back but on the right, and it was fine
from where we were too. Alan not perfectly clear, Jerry still not loud
enough (but he never is), bottom end of Richard's drum-kit inaudible (but
that's only been different at the Astoria) but none of these things so
awfully so that they spoilt it. Keith very loud but not swamping
things; but you couldn't forget he was there which since he was very good
was no bad thing. Full review will follow when I get to my own
machine... Yours,
                  Jon
