Comments

Notes from Michael Albuquerque

I adjusted the volume in spots during the first three songs in order to compensate for the taper adjusting his levels almost every 10 seconds. I also softened several pops and clicks that were present in the original recording. Renormalized the tracks to 0 dB and resplit the tracks at the appropriate intros.

 

The mic got lowered a little, right before Elevation and didn't get up into its original position until half of Beautiful Day (around 01:50 into the song). As a result sound quality is a bit lower on those tracks. Very good clarity and crispness overall, with the music coming through quite well. Audience is audible, but not too disctracting.

 

The show contains a few surprises that make it pretty enjoyable, such as an inpromptu version of Running to Stand Still, or some lines of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses at the beginning of All I Want is You.
