Comments:
This is the most incredible audience recording I have ever heard. It is better than the Chicago '87 concert. This proved to me that audience recordings really can be as good or better than many soundboard recordings.
This guy must have been standing right in front of the damn speakers with the best damn equipment on the planet...it is that good. Punchy, tight, clear, stable. Perfectly balanced frequency wise. The only problem was, it was panned very much to the right, was too quiet on the cd, and had indexes plonked all over the place, some in the middle of songs. I don't call this a remaster, just a 'fix', as the frequencies weren't touched...just the imaged re-centered, level normalised, and indexes correctly placed in between and at the start of songs. Pretty easy stuff for you to do yourself if you have it already and cool edit or something like that.
