Comments

This recording brings a powerful but somewhat harsh sound. There are little but persistent dropouts throughout the show, as if something was touching the mics (I suppose taper could suffer from heavy pushing in the crowd, and moreover, as he explained in a txt, his A3 had some technical problems with the battery). The PA intro was recorded in a very low level, and before the band started with Vertigo, volume changed drastically into higher level. Clarity is very good overall, although a lot of singing and clapping near the taper is audible. However, when people calm down, the recording is pretty good, with all instruments nicely captured.

Quality borders with excellent rating, but the noisy crowd, and the persistent dropouts that plague the recording "help" to set the rating at "very good audience" category.
