Comments

In my opinion, an awesome-sounding recording. Although the first pair of songs sound a bit raw, the recording quickly improves and brings a solid and powerful sound. Crispness and clarity are both excellent, with all instruments and vocals highly audible. Moreover, note that this item does not lack bass, being really strong throughout the show. Crowd are somewhat noisy, but mostly between songs, and adding a great live feeling. To sum up, a really clean and sharp sound. The Ocean was played tonight for the first time since the Pre-War Tour.
