Discs 1 & 2 : Lisbon, August 14th, 2005
Location: middle of the stadium
Taper comments :
Last night of the European (outdoor) leg.
We arrived at the stadium around 30 minutes before the show started, so our position was not the best. I didn't had the time to set up properly the mics so I had some problems during the show with this. In addition of that, I was surrounded by a bunch of drunken assholes who ruined the recording in certain parts of the show:
- A drunk hit one of my mics during IWF and there is a small disconnection for a few seconds. After that I had to touch again the mics and the sound is slightly worse.
- Small dropout again during NYD thanks to the same people pushing I had to retouch again the mics and the sound improves a little bit again. We moved around and the sound keeps pretty stable until The Fly.
- During the Fly, probably caused by a small movement of the mics, the sound gets worse again until the end of the show.
Overall quality is ok during most of the show considering position/circumnstances, especially in the quieter songs.
In some others (Vertigo, Elevation..) crowd noise is very noticeable, with lots of screamers and clapping noise. |
