Happy to report the recording also turned out very nicely. I was in the upper level two tier in the back, however I was pretty much in direct vantage view of the PA racks, so it balanced out very nicely!

Good stuff inu....
Good to read that it was good, Inu.
Why do they seat people on the arena ground in a rock concert?
Is this an USA/Canadian thing? In Portugal and i think most of Europe we have standing seats, at least in rock concerts.

It most likely is. We DO have some shows from time to time that have no seats in the floor section (we'd refer to that as "General Admission"), but it depends on the show and the artist.
Brian's guitar solo from Vancouver was excellent -- a bit over 12 minutes long and different than the past solos. Here is a nice YT of it. http://youtu.be/daXFhaj8u5s
Here's the first of two video compilations culled from my own A/V recordings, starting with the Calgary show. Edmonton will follow suit probably this weekend or so. Enjoy :)

Coulda sworn I saw someone posting Billboard numbers on another forum but whilst unsuccessfully trying to find them, ran across this ticket sales spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArGRM9JiTuXPdHppNjBDR1NxVDBQOFdGc3JNWG1FaXc#gid=0
Don't know how accurate it is -- they have a space for official Billboard stats but it's not filled in yet -- but looks like they're putting a lot of work into it and updating regularly.

Cool spreadsheet thing..........I've been looking for somehting like that..........looks like Auburn Hlls might be the highest-attendance show!
It looks like QAL grossed ~$900,000 on the two Vegas concerts alone:

It will be interesting to see the data on the other shows, where the venues are much bigger. Of course the average prices at the Joint are higher, so there won't be a linear correlation, but there's no doubt this tour is gonna bring in some big bucks. I wonder what the expenses are for the staging, those 19 trucks, and the traveling as well as local roadies? No matter how you slice it, I think the primaries are going to come out of this very well.
