Van Halen   10/30/2007

TD Banknorth Garden, Boston, MA
Source Unknown (most likely this origin: "The original recording was directly to compressed WMA format, so most of integrity of the audio recording was lost in the master recording.")
Media FLAC   1 disc
Notes The Boston show!!! Finally! One of the best shows of the tour in terms of band performance. On Fire! Had fun celebrating the recent Red Sox World Series win with the crowd. Audio quality is good, not great.
Tech Notes DIME

My first upload here, hope this works. Received this in a trade, no idea on the taper or equipment. Good sounding show. If anyone as audio or video from the Balance tour stops in Boston or Mansfield I'd appreciate it, as I was there.
Thanks!

Yet, a holder on DB says of his copy/FLAC files:

"The original recording was directly to compressed WMA format,
so most of integrity of the audio recording was lost in the master recording.
The original recording was very hot with a lot of clipping.
Also, as with most of the shows on this tour, the overall sound was muddy and bassy,
so a lot of the lower frequencies were removed or pulled way down.
The mid range frequencies were also very hot, so I cut them between -15dB to -30dB.
There was a lot of clapping and screaming,
which I did my best to control with the Sound Forge Wave Hammer tool set to 1.5:1 compression at -4dB.
This was a pretty difficult show to mix, but I think given the source,
it turned out pretty well."
Trades Allowed Yes
Ratings Sound: B+
