I was a carpenter on the building of this cool place…when built it was said to have the largest windows in the world.

Thanks for sharing this information. Cheers, Mark! ✌️

👍 I was wondering if there was any kind of university connection (the only reference I have for that location and the only reason I know somebody who worked there), but it sounds like that is not the main constituency according to what you've found.

Thanks Mark ☮️ 🧙🏼‍♂️ 👍

We are extremely fortunate in Madison to have such a fantastic venue. There was some controversy when this place was built, but ultimately this is one of my very favorite halls anywhere, period. I have mostly attended Madison Symphony Orchestra performances here since it was completed in 2004. This is MSO's home hall that you are playing in this evening. Among the incredible performances I have experienced here include Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major with Gil Shaham on violin (extraordinary performance, remember it to this day), Holst's The Planets with the multimedia display of actual planetary footage that was assembled from NASA to play on a giant screen behind the live orchestra (trust me, this is more impactful than it sounds, it's an life-changing experience). Dozens of other incredible performances. Our orchestra definitely punches above its weight. Overture is great space for orchestral music, maybe too perfect, there's really no quirks to it. Even the nosebleeds get a decent sound. All those entrances and exits make for easy in and out before and after the show, there's really not a bad seat in the house. My favorite are the balcony box seats on the left, so you can have an overhead view of the orchestra and see pianist's hands if there is a soloist. Hope you enjoyed playing my favorite venue. Sorry I couldn't make it down today, would have liked to have met you in person Leland. Maybe some other time! P.S. I LOVE that strap, that is SO cool! I bet a lot of bassists would like one. ;)

[@ericwalker6068]

We're about to head up to the show. Stoked!

[@itgoestoeleven]

I've always felt respect for the people of Madison and the general vibe I've received from them. Before now I didn't know about this INCREDIBLE performance space! Great natural acoustics in that big space Lee toured. And like you, Lee, I always get a smile in seeing a well-equipped technical space: the sound shop, light shop, et. al., always give off a vibe of "Hey... all this stuff is standing by to help make the magic!"

Woow.. Daryl..It's great to know the members of Phil Collins band. I remember you very much and I've seen you on DVDs so many times. The very first DVD I watched was Phil Collin's Live and Loose in Paris about 22 years ago. since then, I remember Daryl, Amy, Brad and all other members. The bassist was Nathan at that time. How nice and Thank you so much Lee for updating us about those legendary musicians and singers, of course including you. I'm coming to you guys to play together in my next life. It's the only dream I have for sure. I love music. unfortunately I was born in country where international music industry is unreachable. hopefully Next life!

[@isitrealgood]

Daryl! What a pleasant surprise! Glad he could come over for the show and the hang.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

We just finished watching a video that an audience member in Wichita posted ("Give Back My Heart"). Great stuff! You all look/sound terrific! Our device has not changed since last summer, but given the extremely high quality video/audio on a lot of these audience videos, I'm guessing that the technology/some phones have improved a lot.

[@Mark_Brooks]

Hey!

[@duanewilson3941]

Nice to see Daryl, I used to be one of his guitar students way back in the mid 70's right before he moved to California. We'd go and see him at the Bull ring with his band Sweetbottom.

[@billbromer]

Lovely reverb on the sax in that space.

Another beautiful sounding modern theatre. Mace certainly sounds great embellishing My One and Only Love acoustically. One of the best things about touring is catching up with old friends around the world.

😮😮 OMG! OMG! OMG! Could you all hear us screeching through the phone when you were at the top of that house? You could not get me up there (or in the upper stairwell) with a parachute and a tether. Too much good stuff in this video (18m in), great music, honored guest, enough video for several meals.... But I think what the two of us will remember from this one is the acrophobic experience.

[@FreedomRock44]

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Another nice looking venue. I'm very scared of heights, so I wouldn't be able to sit up on that upper level. Ironically, one of my relatives is an astronaut, and is in the Air Force with his brother, and yet I'm scared of heights. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️

[@JohnEaganMedia]

I've just recently gotten on a bit of a thing watching these things, and thoroughly enjoy them. Fun stuff. I love the way you do these things. Not just "here's what it is backstage", but just exploring and showing the whole venue you're playing, everywhere, often with a nice long walkabout all around outside. It's cool. I wouldn't say this is the BEST part, but I love the way you're often exploring all around all the nooks and crannies, open a door, and it's "random shit junk storage closet" or something. That's hilarious. Kind of related, as a side note... I like the way you do just do the walkabout and take us along, without editing (I understand editing would be an extra level of time and hassle you don't need, anyway). Like an actual human experience. I say this here partially because there seems to be this really unfortunate trend in Yo!Tube videos where people take a video, even when they might be just doing a monologue to camera, and they hack the hell out of it, chopping edits every couple of seconds or so, as if they are on some mission to relentlessly purge so much as a hint of a pause. It drives me nuts (I usually just bail). An interesting human experience, here, rather than some bizarre fashion trend of nervous system torture twitching away throughout. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...🖕 Keep up the great work, on stage and off! johneagan.bandcamp.com/
