Comments

A very solid recording to begin with the Vertigo Tour 2005, opening night in San Diego (CA, USA) at the iPayOne Center (the old San Diego Sports Arena). Sound is crisp, pretty clear, and it comes through very powerful. The only blemish I can remark is a tiny lack of bass on the first few songs (this venue is known by its poor acoustics, and this causes the recording to have a muddy low-end). Audience noise is minimal. The band also put on a solid performance, but some songs still need to be more rehearsed, as they sound a bit raw. It seems this tape is a real upgrade to the other source in circulation, taped by Chrisedge.
