Comments

Zoo Station begins with sound problems, it seems the sound is losing one channel. Tryin' to Throw has a wavy sound like tape is bad due to degradation. This clears by two minutes into the song (02:06 aprox). Still Haven't Found fades out, and Desire fades in (no music is lost in the process). There's a noticeable edit between Ultraviolet and With or Without You, but no music is lost, either. This is the same recording than Justin Cook's I Want Rock and Roll, but without the remastering process by Yauckt (I passed this recording to Yauckt, who cleaned it a bit, and he passed his work to Justin).

Sound is very muffled in my version, and there are noticeable pops throughout it, so we can realize that the tape used to get this concert was a high gen. But to be honest, it still sounds good, and the band delivers a strong performance. Another problem is audience, that is invasive at times and very noisy.
