This was an interesting show. First, it was a free to the public concert

celebrating the grand opening of Element Eatery. The concert was held

outside near the rear of the property in a large open area. The show was

only announced a week and a half prior, so the turnout could have been

better. Eventually, everyone inside (who was eating), came outside to

check out the band. Second, TVP were without their drummer Zach 

Dubay, their keyboardist Randall Sly and a violinist. The drums were 

filled in by Brian Vannieuwenhoven. He always does a great job.
However, the absence of Randall was quite apparent. Channing did a
nice job playing a pre recorded bit on her "pad" for "Photograph", but
with other songs he was sorely missed. He had a prior obligation with
another band, so Im sure he'll be back for all future shows! The third
interesting tidbit was that the band decided to come down (OK - Brian,
Lou and Channing) and perform sans PA right in front of my stand to the
crowd covering the Lindsey Buckingham classic "Holiday Road". The
kids in attendance were really getting into it and the crowd harmonized
towards the end and made it truly special. One of the best moments of
the night. Speaking of covers, the band opened with "Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band", which I had never seen before! That was
really surprising. So, this show (while lacking in some areas), excelled in
others. Made for a unique performance and one thats worth listening to.

We had perfect weather (70 at showtime with the sun setting) and no
wind, so I went with the DPA's from dead center at PA level. I think it
turned out real nice. I'd also like to add I really enjoyed the performance
of "What Might Have Been", the one song they played from their 2021
LP, "Threads".
