Comments

This is a second recording of this show. Well, not sure if imy two recordings come from the same source, as crowd noises are pretty similar. If they aren't, tapers may be located very close to each other. Having said that, this is a nice audience recording, although far in terms of sound quality than the remastered "In the Name of Sydney" recording. This is not as solid as the other, and lacks punch and crispness. Moreover, it sounds a bit fast to my ears. Anyway, it offers good clarity with lots of crowd noise, and this also occurs with the other recording. Note that Love Rescue Me is cut near its end (massive skip at 4:25).
