ORIGINAL NOTES
This is my recording of the first of 2 Amsterdam shows during the band's 2007 reunion tour. A killer show with the band on fire and an enthusiastic audience. The internal mics of my recorder aren't really good for stadium shows so this is not one of my best recordings. Noisy people in the row behind me didn't help either. I had also trouble with people walking in front of me during "Next to you" and while it can be heard here and there it didn't turn out nearly as bad as I had expected. An advantage of the recording is the clear, up front sound of the vocals. Still very listenable and a great souvenir of one of the best shows of the year.
REMASTER NOTES
The first thing that was done was re-EQing in HarBal 2.3 with the official "Synchronicity II" as a reference. The difference is simply stunning, the very boomy bass is completely gone and there's a lot more clarity in the recording. Apart from that some minor EQ adjustments were made in Adobe Audition 1.5 and peak limiting on the applause was applied where necessary. The end result is a huge improvement over the original master. New artwork can be found in the torrent, an mp3 sample can be found below. Enjoy!
