This is a nice audience recording - overall, I would rate it an A - Arlo's banter is easy to hear (the crowd was well-behaved for a college show!), and the musical portions are very clear...the easy-going attitude Arlo has with his audience encourages him to ramble at length between songs, and the results are often hilarious!

Andy says that he asked a member of security if he could plug into the soundboard that night - the security guy asked Arlo, and Arlo said taping with microphones was ok, but no board feeds were being allowed. Thanks to Andy for taping this show, and Arlo for permission - it'll put a smile on your face!

known flaws: there are a few dropouts in d2t15 - a small portion of banter is lost

enjoy! - Zeb
