Additional remarks (hatnham): A very good upfront recording of this high energy show. The sets were very predictable on this tour but they did play Knockin' on Heavens Door instead of Party Girl. Security was in our section during Wire so Dave had to hide his mike which muffles the song. 

Comments

An excellent sounding recording that documents the first of three nights in East Rutherford (NJ, USA). Clarity and crispness are both great. Note that 11 O'Clock Tick Tock fades in and misses around 2/3 of the song. A good portion of Wire sounds muffled as explained by hatnham on the additional remarks. Bad contains a dropout at 07:03. I particularly like Adam's work on the guitar during "40", full of improvisation.
