Comments

Sound quality is excellent, with fantastic clarity and all instruments perfectly audible, but the big amount of audience noise near the taper (generally between songs) makes this one to be rated in a lower level in the grading scale. Volume fluctuates during Streets, so sound begins a bit flat and somewhat muffled, but after I Will Follow, clarity improves. A bit later, at the beginning of One Tree Hill, clarity improves drastically again, with Larry's cymbals astonishingly audible for the rest of the show. The major inconvenience of this recording is that individual voices are also highly audible near the taper, although they are generally placed between songs. A noticeable edit occurs after Exit that makes In God's Country to cut in. Another noticeable edit happens before Star Spangled Banner. One last edit occurs before With or Without You, and quality decreases a little for the rest of the show (or the songs have been added from a different source of this show). However, they keep a pretty good quality.

Despite of the crowd noise, note that sound quality is tremendous, with stunning clarity. I really recommend this item.
