I have seen this recording rated as "excellent audience" but let me say it has been overrated. Sound quality and clarity are both very good, but this item really lacks more cleanness and overall definition. It seems taper adjusted the equipment levels too high, which causes the recording to sound very harsh as it contains some high-end distortion throughout the concert. It can be pretty rough at some spots, but the overall concert sounds good. All instruments are clearly audible, and audience noise, although very noticeable, it's not overwhelming. Second disc sounds lower in volume level, but it also sounds less harsh than the first one. Note that this item brings the complete concert in Montreal.
