Ozzfest

Notes: Very clear recording, especially for an outdoor venue & a capture with a rather basic MD setup. The band seems to not only be in a rather good mood but they play really, really well. As good as most other gigs from this era of touring: loud, precise, professional & polished. One of the better European recordings I've heard from 2002; Ticks & Leeches is superb this night. Getting to this recording, the taper mastered this to WAV, burned it to CD then uploaded it to an FTP where he had it up so people could download it for a little while. So, most copies of this show are in MP3 format. However, a resourceful trader named Per tracked down the taper's friend & received a non-MP3 version - I got this copy from him. There are tiny, tiny track inconsistencies but this is not an indication of a MP3 but that the taper didn't really master it totally smooth; they are only noticeable if you look for them - very slight. All in all, a real nice recording of a very good show

Maynardism: "Thank you very much. We would like to thank you on behalf of ourselves & all the other bands today; Slayer, Tool, we appreciate that you still came even though Ozzy didn't show up. We appreciate that you came & stood in the rain to hear what we had to say. It's support like that that reminds us why we do this."
