Some words for this gig.
Let's start saying that when I attend a gig of a badn I'm in love with, first of all I go to enjoy the gig, then, being a diseased bootlegger I also take the chance to tape the show. There where not so many people, so it could be easy to be picked up from security. I clipped the MD to my bag that was low, and surrounded by me and some people. Even if the recording volume was at its half, the empty venue and the high volume made the drum kick sound a bit heavy, if not distorted. I did a big big equalizing job (SORRY FOR THOSE WHO PREFER THE RECORDING IN ITS NATURAL STATUS), to open the sound and I made it, then took away -5.0 db between each song for the high volume of clapping hands, and adding in a second moment + 8,5 db to the whole recording so to raise up the volume, as I told you that it's been recorded very low.
Said this, NOBODY understood why they played ONCE twice XD!! In the artwork I did not sign the setlist, but put a picture of the original one, so the numbering don't match. Since I did not burn it onto cd but suddenly worked to upload this I did not split the show; total running time is 84:10.... It's up to you if you want to fit it in a 90 mins cd or a 2 cd set...
Waiting for a better version than this, if it's around, enjoy these great pearls, meant by 2 OPEN MINDs....
