Comments

Sound is clear, but not very crisp or clean. It sounds a bit distant. Audience noise is minimal. 

My copy of this recording is not flawless. Pops can be heard throughout the recording. A brief static and a skip are noticeable during the intro song, from 02:20 to 02:28, another skip at 02:42, and one-second bit of static at 02:48. A few clicks between tracks can be heard throughout the recording, and some transitions are pretty rough (Miami - Bullet the Blue Sky is a good example, although there are many others), as if they had been edited. New Year's Day loses one channel at 01:19 until the song finishes. All I Want is You begins at the end of track 10, and the song misses some seconds during the transition to track 11 (as if transition had been edited, as I said before). A nasty error occurs during this song from 01:45 to 02:13 (loud digi-noise). Some popping and slight static can be heard during Miami and Bullet the Blue Sky. And also on CD2, during With or Without You, Mysterious Ways and One.

I didn't think all these flaws were standard, but after getting two different copies of it, and verify they contain the same flaws, I am beginning to think it. So I do not recommend to pick up this source, as it is quite crap. I am looking for a clean copy of this concert.
