Transfer & Remaster: Yauckt

Additional notes (by Yauckt): This is a short ZOO TV show (92 minutes), sound is good despite audience are really present, but it's not bothering except for some occasional screamers on the intros. Anyway, a good prestation of the band, remembering they may have did a movie in Tempe.

Comments

Very good sound quality overall. This is another brilliant remastering work by Yauckt, once more, to bring a crisp and solid recording with music and vocals coming through well upfront. Audience is present, but usually between songs. However, the output sounds a bit distant.

There's an edit between the Stand by Me bits and With or Without You, that only affects to crowd noise during the encore.
