I saw that show and held up my cell phone for the whole thing
(Marianne Amacher was on the other end of the line until
the end, it was a nice way to broadcast the performance).

It was a great-looking venue but the terrible, terrible acoustics
turned everything there into a wall of trash.  I imagine ambient
material would have sounded a lot better there and they did
do some of that too.

Unfortunately, they've closed it down indefinitely due
to war hysteria.
