Comments

Excellent sound quality too in this second source of the first night in Paris during the European leg of the 'Lovetown Tour'. Again, sound is very full with a clear and close capture of both music and vocals, so it offers a pretty sharp output. Crowd noise is audible, but usually placed between songs. There are edits before God Part II, Angel of Harlem and Love Rescue Me. In my opinion, the two sources I have of this show are different, but tapers had to be very close one to the other. However, in terms of sound quality, I prefer my other source of this show as it sounds slightly crisper and closer, with 'more body', if that makes any sense.
