COMMENTS BY THE TAPER:
I arrived at the Grande Piazza just as Roger Waters was coming to the end of his
soundcheck, hearing the opening chords to In The Flesh, it was a wonderful
experience. It's a shame I hadn't arrived in time to record this soundcheck.
I had arrived in good time so as to eat in one of the restaurants around the
Grande Piazza, and after finishing my meal and having a drink, just before 7pm
the Piazza was cleared so that people could then come back in after showing
their tickets. The Security came into the restaurants, and anyone who had a
ticket could give up their stub and stay, otherwise they were asked to leave.
Just after 7pm I saw people running past to get to the front of the stage. I
quickly got a drink of water as it was very close and muggy, and made my way to
the front of the stage. I didn't hurry because I didn't really want to be too
close. I settled down about 30 yards from the front of the stage and dead in the
center. It proved an excellent position to get a good view of all of the members
of the band and a perfect position to record from.
What a wonderful show it was, with some really fine performances from all the
band members. Andy Fairweather Low came to the front to provide lead guitar for
Leaving Beirut, which had been done earlier by Snowy White (evident on the Live
in Rio DVD). The audience were pretty well behaved and apart from a few people
near me occasionally chatting it made a great atmosphere.
I managed to record the complete show including all of the applause for the
encores so as not to miss anything. I used a Sony ECM719 microphone which is
perfect for my Sony MZR55 MiniDisc recorder, clipped to the back of a sports cap
worn with the peak facing backwards. This ensured that the microphones were at
their highest position possible in order to get a crisp clear sound. The end
result is an absolutely stunning recording, it surprised me that I could get
such a superb recording from the audience.
Apart from a suitable fade-in and fade-out for each disc no other editing was
required. I challenge anyone who can match or exceed this quality for an
audience recording.
