Comments

This is a pretty good audience recording with a very clean sound. Not much audience interference here makes this one to be very clear, and pleasant to listen to. Sound is slightly distant and lacks more punch, but it comes through very good with all vocals and instruments nicely captured.

Minors detected include a brief diginoise in the original flac file at 03:02 in Sunday Bloody Sunday. At 02:32 in Bullet the Blue Sky there's a drastic increase in volume level that causes the recording to sound more full and strong for the rest of the show.
