They were uncharacteristically strict with any sort of audio and/or video recording, made overhead announcements at the Fri. and Sat shows.

@afield33 Well first of all there was neither a Friday or Saturday show. The dates were originally Monday, December 14th through Wednesday, December 16th with an additional show added for Thursday the 17th. Having been in attendance (and in the first four rows) for both the Tuesday and Wednesday shows, I can say that those with cameras really ruined the experience. Wednesday night was horrid, with bright little LCD's and camera beeps everywhere! The beauty of the church was really distrubed =/

@tumms Wow, that's too bad! The shows on the weekend in minneapolis just before the Chicago ones were amazing, no disturbances to speak of. I was in the 1st 3 rows too! You're lucky to be in the Chicago area, maybe to see the smaller impromptu shows when he's not touring.

Thanks for posting these gillybird, saw the show Fri night. An amazing display of talent from a true musical genius (with a bum foot).

Yeah, he kicked his chair pretty bad in the middle of Thursday night's show... Poor guy.
