## Notes

I thought the sound was dialed in really really well, but then, what do you expect from a Parsons gig? And I was super surprised how respectful the audience was -- nice to be in a crowd of listeners for once instead of the usual self-absorbed assholes!

And while the show was surprisingly short (not much more than 100 minutes of music, all told), I'll give Alan a pass on that: gotta give allowances to the old guys who are still putting out for us, right?

Thanks to folks who contributed to the [Setlist.fm](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alan-parsons-live-project/2024/fox-theater-oakland-ca-33aa18dd.html) entry for tonight's show, you saved me a LOT of time trying to figure things out from my chicken-scratch notes!
