Notes SBD w/ patches - I prefer the aud. The pitch on this seems fast (at least on set 1) and its missing the NYE countdown on set 2. Though the vocals are better, Phil isn't mixed up on this sbd so overall, the buzz from the audience makes this show come across better. The sbd doesn't change my view of the show - set 1 and 2 are good but set 3 loses the momentum and doesn't deliver a killer jam portion that one would like to rate this a must hear show. So sound = A/B because of the pitch and missing NYE countdown. SHow = A/B for a weaker than hoped set 3.
