I’m sorry, but this is just flat-out impressive and exciting. I’m sure there’s going to be the overlapping sets phenomena but I’m hoping I’ll have to manage my expectations on such. I can’t expect to see everything that I’m going to want to see, but that’s only going to make each performance that much more special…
