Comments

Sound in this item is pretty muffled, but still listenable. All instruments are clearly audible, although they sound slightly distant. Therefore, overall recording sounds flat. Crowd noise appears only between songs, as people shut up when the band are playing, and background noise is noticeable throughout the show (what should be the biggest inconvenience of this recording, in my opinion). Track divisions run absolutely smooth, as they are seamless. 

Gloria contains some problems, with a pair of dropouts. First one is placed at 0:32, where volume level got lowered until 0:45 aprox. This again occurs at 03:08 until 03:36. An Cat Dubh contains another two-second dropout at 01:17. There is an edit between Twilight and Out of Control, and from this point, sound becomes more muffled. A few skips are present in 11 O'Clock Tick Tock. Despite of this problems, the recording sounds decent, as I expected this one to be more harsh and fair-sounding.
