Notes Oh man, the sound here is definatly the best of the 3 night stand at the Gardens. The performance, unfortuantly, suffers greatly as they don't seem to be enjoying themseleves, and overall the performance seems to be very boring and extreremly flat. They don't mess up alot, its just that they don't seem to be enjoying themeselves too much to make this show very enjoyable. The sound is excellent, one of the best from the tour. There is a great amount of clarity, and not too much distance with the recording. There is no tape hiss as this is a first generation copy that I have. There is some compression in places (maybe a blocked mic, or something along those lines or even tape flucuation as some may have said) but overall the sound is great, even competes with the Chicago show at times, but lacks in overall fidelity and overall sound quality. A must have show for sound, but the performance here you can easily skip and keep on going.
