Comments

A very good sounding recording for the second show in Adelaide (Australia). The only major drawback is the audible hiss in the background throughout the concert, very loud in the quieter parts of the gig, a thing that can be annoying in some occasions (this is why I underrated it a little). Other than that, sound is really impressive, with all instruments pretty good audible, and vocals as well. It sounds close and powerful, with very good clarity. Audience noise is minimal, just audible between songs. I read out there that it might come from a video-tape, but I can't confirm it. Note that the recording is missing the encore (supposedly Party Girl - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock - I Will Follow - "40").

Minors include some hiccups here and there (for example, Gloria at 01:57). There's also a 4-second silence gap from 0:07 to 0:11 in Two Hearts Beat As One, that cuts off a few seconds of the song. The sound at the beginning of The Electric Co. wavers for a few moments due to tape degradation. Finally, there is a noticeable edit between New Year's Day and Pride that causes the latter to cut in, missing the very first seconds.
