2002.04.20 - Auckland, New Zealand @ North Shore Events Center

Source A: DAT --- Core Sound Binaurals > Sony TCD-D8
Taper:      Karl R.
Gen:         1st from Master

Notes: This is the digitally mastered DAT version, there is a analog transfer that has slightly different times but this is harder to find. What makes this a little different from the analog version is that everything is equalized & processed - to give the sound that extra kick. Extremely good, crisp & clear sound. Not really sure what else to say; hard to improve an already outstanding recording. Unlike the analog version, this is for trade. Surprisingly crisp & low crowd noise make this the best, hands down, of the 2002 Australian/New Zealand recordings in reference to sound quality. Performance is focused, diligent &, wait a minute, rather common for this era. It is amazing how only a couple night may make a difference in setlist variation.

Notes: Filmed from the very far back upper balcony, this recording is not only incomplete but it is a bit dodgy in overall quality. The audio is at least a bit clear but id also muddy at the same time, there is a lack of crispness that for some would find annoying. From what I understand, the video was incomplete due to the recorder only having an hour DV tape. This is unfortunate. There are some rather worthwhile shots of the stage & the band but those are not as prevalent as one would hope. lots of heads. All in all, decent as this is the only known capture of video footage of this performance around. For those that do not care about that, leave this best to collector's.
Notes: Please know that on some VHS>DVD transfers 08.29.93 precedes this recording.
