You should have said something! I would have offered to put you up at my place.
However, there was no way I was going to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it was absolutely worth evey minute.
I've made a complete arse of myself with my camera, but here're three blurry photos anyway:
You weren't the only one! I was out drinking beforehand and wasn't quite sober when the show started. I didn't realise until a little later that the autofocus on my cameras wasn't working because it was too dim. So I had a lot of poor quality shots.
After I realised, I had to fiddle in the dark with the silly Fuji camera to switch it to manual focus. Even then, if I used flash, the images would look too hard and if I didn't the images had other problems because of the lack of front lighting (presumably to prevent the projected video from washing out). Oh Well!
I wonder if the guys in front of me had better luck with their camera phones? Those either have pinhole or meniscus lenses, so no focus issues.
The attendance was pretty good ... about 150-175, although 160 was closer to the actual figure, but it was enough to make the theatre look reasonably full. The sound was tremendous, and although the material is familiar from the previously released live CDs, it was fantastic to finally get to experience it first-hand.
I figured it was around 200 with seating for about 300. I didn't bother doing a proper head count though. People were still walking in after the show started, however.
