Never been to a 49 so that doesn't matter, eh? There were certainly better years in the past. Lots of good sounding drums there, but you can only do some much with the "indoor" type of acoustics (sound bouncing off the ceiling). I don't mind being there early as long as there was something to do, but it sucks too stay late and leave after everyone is gone especially with a three-day event like this one. Sleep number beds don't do much when you are dog-tired, but a hot shower sure does a lot of good.
