Taper's notes: I was in the second row center for the first 4 songs, but the pogo/pushing/screaming/blasphemous shouts ;-) were just unbearable, so during the 'Cross The Breeze coda I moved back a bit to the side of the stage in front of the left speaker stack. There I stumbled into some good friends of mine and everything became a sort of celebration, a bit of small talking, screaming and singalong added by the surrounding crowd (not too good for the recording....sorry), but we didn't talk while they played, so you'll hear a bunch of banter and stupid sentences in Italian/local dialect between the songs. All in all I think this is a pretty decent audience recording, especially considering this has been my first "taping" experience ever without a soundboard input and I never tried the Edirol "on the field". The sound was pretty good, Kim's voice a bit too low in the mic maybe and the drums not too clear, but no major issues. I had to switch the channels because I "wore" the recorder with a sort of necklace, and could not point it towards the stage as you're supposed to do with it.
