Comments

Very good audience recording, with powerful sound and nice clarity. Audience noise is audible, but not really distracting. Bass is a bit prominent in the mix, so there are distortion spots on a few occasions. Minors to note include some hiss residue in the background, and that the recording certainly sounds too loud and raw. Sound was enhanced / increased before converting the tracks into FLAC files, as the concert was originally recorded at a little low level, so probably this is the reason why we have these minors, as too much gain was artificially added. As I could read on u2torrents, these are standard drawbacks.
