Notes

Hammersmith Odeon
London


Audience master >?? >silver > remaster
QUALITY: A

There is very little audience noise while the band is actually playing. For an audience recording, this one would rate as fantastic. At first, one might be fooled into believing this is a soundboard recording. Nevertheless, this is a case where being recorded in the audience benefits the sound quality instead of hindering it. Most of what you're hearing is coming from the PA, which explains the relatively high echo & vocal level. Other than that, this recording is very well balanced. It sounds like the taper must have been very well centered or was using excellent recording equipment with a lot of technical knowledge of recording in a venue such as the Odeon. All instruments are heard well throughout the recording.
