Taper: u22utoo
Location: in the Inner Circle, on the outer rail, dead center
Additional notes (by the taper): outer rail or in the inner circle are good locations for this tour for the high end (vocals and guitar). Bass is somewhat limited there for some reason.
Comments
First audience source of the concert in Las Vegas. Sound quality is excellent, and in my opinion, the best available out of the three recordings of this concert in circulation. Music and vocals come through pretty strong and clear, and there is minimal crowd interference. Just note vocals are slightly higher in the mix, and as mentioned above by the taper, bass is the lowest part.
There was a huge list of VIPs, that included Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin, hence the snippet of Fix You at the end of Beautiful Day. A very nice rendition of Elvis Presley's Viva Las Vegas followed the snippet of Stand by Me.
