Notes What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than playing a gig in Korea?

This was an odd source, and it's origins are questionable at best, but I believe through investigation that it is indeed a lossless source. I also believe (no offense to Korea) it was seriously compromised by a limited broadcast technology.

First off it's always nice to see a audio-from-video capture in good stereo condition. But it was as thin as a rail and mired in an overexuberance of high-end. Even though the source was limited the highs were accurate with absolutely no phasing or degradation, it was just way too much of it. And everything else was absent. Yet the source contained the necessary elements to be able to pull them out in a decent fashion. It still contains some harsh TV compression "crunches", especially on the crowd, certain crowd-to-music transitions and at times the high-hat.

Given all that though, I'd say this workover is definitely a more enjoyable listening journey.
