Comments

A very nice recording that really sounds loud, powerful and pretty close, although it's said the taper was at the back of the venue. As I said, all instruments and vocals come through powerful and well upfront, with minimal audience noise, placed between songs, or adding a nice live feeling. It seems levels were set just somewhat hot, so it causes some raw sound to it and a bit of occasional saturation, but it still is very clear and full. Note bass is rather prominent in the mix. By turning down a little bit your volume levels, you'll enjoy a fantastic recording and gig. This source probably sounds slighly raw compared to my other source of this gig ('38f's master'), but all in all, sound quality looks like an "exc-".
