He was about the 8th person into the venue, and had chance to stand in the very first row. Hence the sound is unbalanced because he actually was behind the PA and you will notice the drum sounds very live, because he was not catching it off the PA, rather because it was about 10 feet away from him. Comments by A.W.: Since it was the only available recording of this infamous gig and ,as acknowledged by M.D., not fully maximed when making it available, I went ahead and remastered the show. At first for my own listening pleasure, later on people asked me for this show and liked it so much I'd thought of making it available to the trading community for everyone else to enjoy. Because of the screaming and "singing" of people nearby I opted to use the expander function to even out the recording. As a result the screams and singing are not as irritating as before and the band is more upfront this time. I've adjusted some attack release settings in order to get the average expander settings right for this recording (balanced between loud and quieter moments). Also some EQ'ing has been done. At some parts I've re-indexed to have all the tracks start at the beginning of a song, and removed the split second of dead air in I Will Follow. I believe, this way one can really play the recording loud, without having a screaming girl blow up you speakers. Have fun!
