Comments

Very powerful sound in this source, quite clear and crisp. Audience is noisy, but they are not too disturbing, adding a nice live feeling. This source is not flawless, containing some issues. Pop Muzik has several fades in/out during the song, and dropouts and volume changes as well, as if taper was adjusting his equipment. Finally Mofo fades in, and everything gets in its right position. Static occurs in the final part of Until the End of the World, and more audible during If God Will Send His Angels (it seems to disappear at 01:20 aprox. into the song). Moreover, there is a pair of seconds of skipping at 0:22 in Staring at the Sun. A few pops occur in Please, although not quite often. Finally, Discotheque contains some skipping from 04:16 to 04:21 that speed-up the song for that five seconds. However, overall sound is pretty good.
