Comments

Some have mislabeled this one as a soundboard tape, but this is an excellent sounding audience recording. It sounds really close and powerful, and audience noise is minimal, although some stray voices can be heard screaming, usually between songs. Music clarity is awesome and the capture of the instruments is very sharp.
