Comments

This is probably one of the best shows of the whole tour. It features an outstanding setlist, with some great surprises. Sound is very clear, with a quite good crispness. Audience noise is audible, but not very distracting, and it is placed between songs. Zoo Station begins somewhat muddy, but after some level adjustements it improves quality very fast. Overall recording is great, but not excellent, as it lacks some more cleanness, and a more powerful sound. Moreover, it is a slightly distant and lacks a bit of bass, although music and vocals are quite well balanced. Fluctuations in the sound are audible from time to time, mostly on the first few songs.

Minors here include a small edit between Arms Around the World and Party Girl, that only affects to crowd noise. Another edit can be found after Pride, with no loss of music. A few ticks can be heard throughout the recording, but nothing really distracting.
