Comments

Stunning recording that is a major upgrade to what was in circulation. Sound is crystal clear and very powerful, as it comes through pretty close and crisp. Crowd noise is certainly audible, but usually placed between songs. I'd place this tape at "exc / exc+" in my rating scale, and I would remark the bass in this recording, as it sounds quite strong and clean. There are no other flaws than the stated above by 'Flying_Gonz'.

The show itself is awesome, with more than 86.000 in attendance. The highlight is the appearance of Bruce Springsteen, who came onstage to sing and play along to Stand by Me.
