How about admitting the fact that the aforementioned anime concert was the "Pikachu the Live Concert" 10th anniversary event on August 7th, I think it was, last year :P
Quite some surprises at that show as far as the setlist went :P But you guys wouldn't care :P :P :P

Seems hard to stick to topic for some people.
Anyway, thought i should mention perhaps useful tip. If you decide to record, then be sure to not move around,jump or any sudden moves. This will affect the recording. Also, be sure to test the settings before the concert. Turn up the volume on your stereo at home and learn how the different adjustments affects the quality.

Yep, great advice !

M-block looks fairly far - if I'm looking at the right hall chart.

What he said.
Although, if you have a chance to go to another concert before Q+PR, or if Q+PR decide to take on a support act this time around, try recording those and change the settings during the concert to find a 'comfort level' with the display (assuming your recorder has one like the Edirol R-09) where it will come close to but not actually clip beyond 0dB.
I find, with the Edirol R-09, it's best to have the Line-In input level set between 13-16 at best. Hi-MD MiniDiscs are a bit trickier, but I guessed right when I recorded Roger Waters.
It kinda depends too how loud the concert is and what type of venue it is (arena, stadium, etc.). I believe I used 13 at The Police (after figuring out the level while recording one of the two support acts, "Fiction Plane", which btw I might still have if anyone would be interested :P ), and 15-16 for Van Halen and Spice Girls. I am not sure what my friend had it for the anime concert in Japan, but I think I may have had it preset for him. (Though his turned out to be the quietest of all the 2007 recordings, so he may have adjusted it after all)
The only case I noticed clip peaks on the recording was with Spice Girls despite having it set around 15, 16, and me sitting pretty much at the far end facing the stage. It didn't sound distorted thankfully despite the peaks, but all my other recordings were more or less really close to the stage (The Police was the 2nd furthest, and Roger Waters was the closest, having been in 1st row as I mentioned).
Interesting that you guys should suggest trying to get seats as close to the F.O.B. (Front of the Board) mixing desk. Assuming I'll be attending more than 2 Q+PR concerts next year, I will try looking into getting floor seats close to the FOB for a few, and tix for as close to the actual stage for the others, as I will be recording them. This would give me a better idea of how different positions will make a difference in sound and quality.

Mixing desk = soundboard
"FOB" means taping location between the stage and the mixing desk / soundboard.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this 4.7k mod on the mics?
Doesnt this prevent the need of a batterybox and perhaps a pre-amp would be better if buying mics with the 4.7k mod?
