Comments

This is the second source of the concert in Las Vegas. Sound quality is very good with a strong output, but it doesn't sound as crisp and close as the first source of this show (taped by 'u22utoo' with 'CA-11 + Zoom H2'), as the tape is somewhat distant. However, clarity is very nice and there's not much crowd noise.

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.
