Comments

First night of three in Arnhem (Holland) at the indoor stadium Gelredome. The show brings the standard setlist and some references to dutch artist Herman Brood. The tape starts off somewhat flat, but by New Year's Day becomes more full and closer, being pretty solid and sharp to the end. The recording is affected by the stadium reverb, and it causes the low-end to be a bit muddy throughout the concert, although still audible. Audience noise is minimal and relegated to the background and adds a very nice live feeling, with occasional clapping near the taper. Clarity is pretty good, and I'd say the tape lacks some more overall strength, as it is slighty distant and probably it is the weakest of the three 'Arnhem Nights' in terms of sound quality. To sum up, not among the topping recordings of the second leg, but a pretty sharp one.
