Radiohead   06/14/2017

Arena del Visarno, Florence, Italy
Source AUD (see location below) > Church Audio CA-14 Cardioids > Church Audio battery box > Edirol R-09 (24-bit/48.0 kHz, LINE-IN, rec. level 30/30) > SDHC Panasonic RP-SDM04G
Media FLAC   27 discs
Notes The venue (eventually called Visarno Arena) is at the Florence horse track (Ippodromo del Visarno)
I arrived at the very last time so I could locate myself only at about 70 m from the stage and 25 m in front of the 2nd row of speakers (left-hand speaker), 10 m behind the soundboard line
I was sure to have locked the recorder but the recording accidentally stopped during Daydreaming when I was putting the R-09 into my bumbag
The result was that about 15 secs of the track were lost but I have managed to merge both sections of the recording in a seamless way
Most of the people around me were completely into the show, others were lovely chatters
The recording is enjoyable considering the not ideal location with occasional clapping and screaming and background chatting on some quieter songs

What about the show?
It was my third Radiohead show (the others were in Milan 2008 and Bologna 2012, both taped)
Very good show with a greatest-hit setlist based on all the albums (at least 2 tracks for each) but Pablo Honey
OK Computer (6 tracks) and A Moon Shaped Pool (5 tracks) were mainly performed
Tech Notes - The total running time of the recording was 2:14:47; I have cut the first 38 secs (due to mics setting during the intro) and last useless 1:33 mins
- I have overlapped 5 secs of both section of Daydreaming (cross-fading and mixing them @ 4:52-4:57, see above explanation) finally reducing the master to 2:12:31.
- I have amplified (+7.5 dB on the left channel, +6.0 dB on the right channel) and slightly compressed (-12 dB/3:1) the whole recording, faded-in the first 5 secs and faded-out the last 10 secs
