Comments

This is a quite nice recording that brings a very powerful and strong sound. Again, the low-end is somewhat muddy, and moreover, we can find some high-end distortion at some concrete points of the recording, although not really often, as if recording levels were set slightly hot. Audience noise is minimal, as no individual voices are audible throughout the show. It just lacks a little more of sharpness, but however, clarity is pretty good.
