PREPARING THE RECORDING
The sound was already very good. My place in the audience helped at lot, I sat
at row 5, to the right side of the stage. At some points I had to re-ajust my
microphone. I lost my placeholder so I had to redirect it. I did this in between
the songs, but because of the sensitivity it is noticable. Security was tight
and right in front of me. I took the mike out only at the start of the set. You
can hear some fumbling in the beginning. Sorry about that! Not much needed
correction. For this show I applied some filters to broaden the spectrum (a
little boost to the lower frequencies). I amplified the real quiet passages a
little, but not much. So the dynamics of the show are in tact. After the
correction, tracks were split at sector boundaries. Flacs are tagged for
convenient playbacks on compatible systems.
ABOUT THE CONCERT
The concert was a tight performance. The band sounds great and there was really
a 'wall of sound'. So therefore the title for this album. The emphasis for this
concert lay on the album The Wall. Most of the setlist is from that album. The
first half people around me were talking loud at some points. What can you do?
Luckily they went for different seats after the break, so there's little to no
talking in the second part. TAPFS do a great job: they are true to the original
music and their craftsmanship
shows through-out the whole concert. I enjoyed them very much. Hope you do to!
