Notes Great early Adore tour show. It's obvious that these guys are still feeling there way to working with each other, there's a definite rough edge to the performances here and the mix isn't as smooth as the later US shows when these guys hit a groove. It still has a great R-n-R attitude though and the sound quality of the best German shows is rivaled by none. Personally, I love the slower funkier version of "Transmission" they did in Europe over the frantic paced one they did in the States. Yet the faster version generally ran 7 to 10 minutes longer, figure that one out! All in all, a must have for Adore tour fans.


Tech notes: Some weirdness here with volume levels as there was some sort of brief "gapped" pause in the middle of "Shame" and all of a sudden the volume jumped +3db. I fixed the gap as best I could and unless you know exactly where it was you'll not notice it, and the volume change was corrected as well. That was interesting to do in the middle of a song too. The lesson here folks is when taping a show set your levels BEFORE the show starts and then just leave it alone. I'll take care of the rest.
