The Humans played a very good set, and the best I have seen. A very good sound, mix, and performance.
Slow Music on c. 20.35 for c. 45 minutes.
Small details for the guitarist: which spectacles do I wear to read programmes in the Solar Voyager? I can see the band fine without, but good to be able to know what my rig is doing. What height the guitar stool/stand? Drum-stools were too low, bar-stools too high. My Kinsman guitar stool/stand in the UK is higher, but not available in the US. Note: the difference in stage lighting between soundcheck and showtime radically alters the sense of onstage.
That’s not taking into account the state of the audience and the personality of the venue.
