Comments

Another source of the Werchter gig, this one taped with OKM II classic microphones and a D7 DAT recorder. Very good sound, although I prefer my other tape of this show. The low-end is a bit prominent in the mix, and the recording has a slight distortion on the kick-drum. Moreover, this one sounds tiny more distant than the so-called "Wedding Band from Hell" version, so not as full sounding. However, clarity is quite good and crowd noise is virtually non-existent.
