Comments

Decent sound quality in this recording that documents the second night in Rotterdam. It sounds a bit muddy, as it lacks more clarity and a more clean sound. Music and vocals come through a bit distant, and the tape gets bass-dominated at some spots. Sound remains a little muffled until 03:25 in Two Hearts, when the recording becomes a bit clearer, keeping a pretty enjoyable sound for the rest of the concert.

About flaws, October cuts in, missing a couple of seconds. A wave-like sound is audible in the background on a few occasions throughout the recording. Supposedly, this recording is missing The Electric Co.
