Comments

First of three nights in Dortmund, and first of three masters by Rasensteine. This one brings a very clear and solid sound, although slightly distant, with music a little prominent than vocals in the mix. Crowd noise is audible, but not too detracting and adding live feeling. There's a little break between Streets and I Will Follow (as taper was moving his position, as mentioned above), so the latter fades in, missing a few seconds.
