Hey Denis!  Have fun at that gig.  Wish I could be there!

Yeah, probably more volume will be necessary, depending on where you are.

Things I've noticed outdoors -
1) Hard to read the LEDs on my EDP.  More like impossible.
2) Ambient noise can be greater.  Especially wind noise in mics and traffic
noise.
3) Cool echoes from buildings.
4) A wireless connection can be way cool.  Particularly when you stand
across the street from your speakers and stuff.
