Notes

An excellent audience recording. The taper's notes from the original info file are below:

An extraordinary, fabulous show. Much improved sound compared to the shows in Amsterdam. After the first few songs there was hardly any screaming or chattering, so the recording fits the band and especially the excellent fan chants very well.

During the first few songs, there was a Mexican woman standing nearby who at times screamed her lungs out, managing to drown out the sound system that was constantly operating at the 100 DB limit. She changed her place later and reappeared only briefly during the encore.

The sound of the recording was at times unclean, as if the mics had been covered (which was not the case). However, Grigio's editing has turned a good recording into one that is at least very good, if not excellent. The clarity and sharpness is impressive, for which I owe Grigio a great debt of gratitude! It is impressive what is possible with this knowledge and experience of him. Thanks a lot!

Both the original high-resolution 24-bit, 96KHz fileset and a downsampled version in 16-bit, 44.1KHz are available for download below.
