Comments

This recording brings an overall quite good sound quality. However, it sounds slightly distant and muffled, as major drawbacks. Audience noise is audible just between songs or when adding live atmosphere, as it happens at the end of Surrender. Some skips and dropouts are audible, due to the transfer from cassette to CDR. Clarity and crispness are given, and all instruments and vocals are very good audible. To sum up, a decent recording that documents an energetic performance by the band.

A pair of edits can be found in this recording. The most audible is located before Two Hearts, but only affects to crowd noise. A nasty skip occurs at 02:50 in I Will Follow that cuts off a few seconds of the song.
