Performance

Solid. Not the best i've heard from the tour by any means (try the gig from the night before for all round awesomeness) but hard to fault overall. Set was standard for that particular stage of the tour and the War material really compliments the new material. Indian Summer Sky was sadly not included in the set. Wire was as thumping as ever but didn't come across as well in the recording due to the problems with the recording listed above. Bad was disappointing with the lack of snippets, bass and 'Wide Awakes'. Both TUF and ASOH seem to be getting high praise here but i'm not seeing why. It sounds like the band still hadn't worked how to play each of those particular songs at that time of the tour. The GLORIA snippet at the end of Surrender was one of the worst i've ever heard. I love the start of Two Hearts but the song itself isn't that great. Hilights for me were the energy of the gig in general, good crowd reaction, Wire and Surrender.

Sound

As you all know, I am one picky little bitch. The sound here is good, if not very good. All instruments and vocals are audible and clear, good crowd balance and for the age of the recording I have to say it's very good. My only gripe (and a big one it is) is the lack of power. You can hear Adam's bass lines and Larry's drums but there is no kick or thump from them. This is most likely caused by the lack of lineage and known source. I was able to get a little life into the recording after adding some bass via itunes but I like a recording to be naturally good and not need fettled with. One the whole it deserves it's 4 star rating and it will stay as 4 but for me personally I would give it a 3.5. I'll let you guys sample the lossless when it pops up and I bet the difference is massive
Recording: "Hybrid Casio Capsules - Sony WM D6" - 4 stars
