Taper notes:
I just bought my first new mics a couple months ago.
(1st ones bought in 1992)

Galway- Leisureland. Giant pink gym near Salt Hill on the outskrts of town. Mike plays a few electric songs in the chatty crowd. Fiddlers of Spiddal on the 1st encore.

Upfront standing in the sweet spot GREAT SOUND!!

Minimal crowd noise.

Dublin. Upfront in the sweet spot. 10-12 feet from Wonderful and a vertical row. AMAZING PERFORMANCE & SOUND. Minimal crowd noise. W/Photos

The definition of the sweet spot.... the exact location where the music sounds most amazing.
