THANKS A MILLION! While there might not ever be anything like hearing it live / as it's streaming, this is the greatest favor in the world for those who couldn't listen to it. Wish Inner Ear would've recorded the whole thing, until now.

Some very fine medleys this year and your coverage is wonderful. Eventually I WILL get over there and see these bands live. If COVID settles down to manageable proportions.
