So I finally finished watching the show. I'm not going to say it's the best thing since the Jihen years (because that was Toutaikai), but it was quite enjoyable. No, Ringo's voice is only maybe 90% of what it was at its peak, but I still love it. She is an incredible performer, she puts on a hell of a show, and there's still absolutely no one I'd love more to see live. Really my biggest criticism in all of this is that I desperately want her to release an album full of new songs that she can perform - I love the standards to be sure, but I know she's got a lot more where that came from.

The sound, however, stunk on ice. Following fernan1234's comment, I futzed around with the settings on my receiver, but I just could not get it to sound right. I'm sure it was awesome for the in-person audience, but everything just sounded so flat in the recording.
