Cool video, great seats!
But man, what is it with people at concerts today? It's not about YOU and how many times YOU can yell during a song. LISTEN! Trey is solo acoustic, for gosh sakes - LISTEN! Or at least let those around you hear him play...
Sorry - had to rant - I don't know when this started, but I remember seeing acoustic shows like CSN, etc. and people listened to the song, and yelled when it was over.

Hello
As mixing engineer I sit either in the middle of audience or way back. In both cases I always see phone screens, that are facing back while cameras are facing to stage. For anybody right behind that person holding the camera it must be really horrendous. And when the people look at what they got later on their computer or even worse - on the phone screen - the result is a pathetically pale reminiscence of a concert they might have enjoyed instead of "photographing". Not to mention the sh####y sound.
I keep telling how I was - way back - in Minneapolis Guthrie Theatre Walker Art Center - hope I remember that right - that held about 700 - there was this elderly guy on stage with his nylon-string guitar - I was sitting on second row and could hear the reflection from back wall - it was flue-time - some folks were coughing - he threw an angry eye towards them and they were silenced. No microphones to be seen on stage - so no loudspeakers either. As much as I have been interested in sound reproduction - studio and live - I truly enjoyed that concert.
He spoke once - he replaced one song with another - we had concert leaflets with song list. My partner had seen him 7 times before and he never ever spoke - bowed when he came and again when he was done. So this time he said : "I am having terrible problems with tuning of my guitar, so I am going to substitute "A" with "B" . . ."
After he was done he stood up, bowed and started to walk towards left - he came to side wall that was all panels and the door was not visible - he stopped about 6 feet before the wall and gazed to his left and right - until that door opened and he could get out from the stage. It certainly looked a bit funny - especially him wearing very thick glasses and so obviously being nearsighted - however nobody in the audience let out the slightest sound of laugh or anything else. We all respected him for what he just had done for us.
Thank you for fine evening Andrés Segovia.
And like Walrus so rightfully writes - would it finally be time to let us and others enjoy the performance on stage.
