Comments:
Quality wise a strange mix. It's definately audience in origin since individual audience members can be heared (at times very loudly). It suggests that more then one source is around. The MP3 files were taken from Napster but strangely no complete 2nd version could be found of either quality range. There were alwatys the same good quality files versus the same lesser quality files, which sometimes varied in having one stereo channel muted or not. Strangely enough, the muted versions sounded better, suggesting that the source of the trouble (a garbling noise very prominently in Staring at the sun) resides in one of the channels. An upgrade not taken from MP3 files is very much desired since this was a very good concert. Pop songs which I never expected to be played again were played again and my all time favorite 11'o clock tick tock is played again, suggesting it might be a permanent addition again. Still the New York Irving Plaza version is better since it was unexpected and for some reason more intense. Until the end of the world starts without it's ususal intro.
