Comments

Fantastic recording of a very energetic show. It documents the first of two consecutive nights in Rotterdam. Music and vocals are well balanced, and they come through pretty clear, powerful and upfront. Moreover, the output is quite crisp, too. Audience is a bit noisy, but never overwhelming, adding a great live feeling and participation. On the other hand, there is a bit of hiss in the quieter parts of the concert. Note a rough transition between the 4th of July intro and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock.
