Source B: DAT --- Core Sound Binaurals > Sony PCM-M1 (Oade Bros Mod II) @ 48 KHZ
Position: Floor / Front of Stack - Left
Transfer: ?
Taper: Smagmapig
MP3 Sample: Right click & save

Notes: This particular performance was one of my, personal, favorite concert experiences. The sound was quite good, being on the front of stack left & once I arrived there, that's where I stayed. As I recall, a few minutes before Tool were to be on stage the taper, Smagmapig, arrived. He rode the rail on the FOS-L this evening as I was in the same position. Really, an excellent set list & the venue itself although quasi-large had a rather intimate feeling to it all things considered. The performance of Third Eye alone is worth the price of admission. As it is, this recording has much more depth & overall quality than my own source as the limitations of Mini Disc in comparison with this DAT source are painfully obvious (a good deal of difference due to recorders; both used the same microphones in the same position) as this source, other than a few annoying crowd shouts, is just stunning. Seriously, this is simply jaw-dropping & this recording I have listened to quite a bit more times than my own master. Top job to the taper.
