Comments

This is probably the best sounding recording I have heard so far from the Amsterdam Arena. To me, this one merits the "excellent" rating, although it is not as solid as other excellent tapes, but it sounds great despite of the famous Arena roof. This roof makes the tape to sound a little boomy on the bass, and slightly echoed. However, the music and vocals capture is very close and crisp, and there's not much crowd interference. The live feeling is pretty good, too.

"40" is just a snippet at the end of Moment of Surrender.
