Very clear recording, not a lot of chatter around the taper and the sound is very close to the mics you can tell. The only thing is that at times it sounds as though the left channel is just a tad bit higher than the right channel.

This recording's best quality can only be in mp3 format, as that is what it was recorded on. The soundchecked songs were 1. Home 2. Piggy 3. La Mer. At some points in the recording the bass does overload a bit, but this rig setup definitely surprised me regarding quality.

Overloads a bit on the bass. It has nice treble though.

Another big thanks to Frank for working on this one! He synced shotyd’s (source 1) audio footage to slickmode’s master video recording that you see here. Some really great footage from the pit of this show. Great quality picture. There is a battery swap/tape change between Gone, Still and The Way Out Is Through. Other than that, this is the full performance! Big thanks to JAM for sending over this footage almost 8-9 years ago. I will keep getting more of this backlogged sources up on the archive.
