Comments

Brilliant sound quality in this tape that documents the second of four nights in Rotterdam. Music and vocals come through very crisp, strong, very clear. All instruments are pretty well captured. This tape has been underrated in some websites, but let me say it is is just stunning, excellent sound quality for an audience tape for sure, with the only blemish of a bit of hiss in the background during the quieter parts of the show. Audience noise is audible, with nice crowd participation, but never being overwhelming. Track-1 CD1 has a skip at 0:41 (Streets intro).

I do not have the exact lineage of this recording, but it was taped by MvV with the gear mentioned above.
