This is a nice show, but i suggest you not even waste your time with this source. Just listen to rubberneck lions and you'll see what i mean.

Yes, if you like "perfect" but mediocre sounding OTS recordings, this is not the source for you. However, if you appreciate the effort of an upfront tape being made while the other FOB tapers less than 3 feet away get busted, then you just might like this one.

Kudos to the taper and their effort, but just because the taper made an effort to make an FOB tape (against the bands wishes, btw) and doesn't get busted, doesn't mean that the sound will be superior to non-FOB sources. We download shows b/c they sound good, not because of where the taper was located. Plenty of shows out there where the OTS sources beat the FOB sources.

I definitely didn't express my point clearly. The thing that got me is that this guy was telling everyone to dismiss an FOB tape based on what is far and away the worst track as far as croud noise (or in this case, security noise) of the whole show. In my opinion, that's not a logical way to evaluate an FOB tape. If it was full of chatter throughout the show it would be a different story. I respect BenMohr's criticism (seen on the OTS Schoeps source page) that the OTS source sounds more defined. At least he speaks to the sound.
I would submit that very few under-the-balcony OTS recordings sound better than FOB recordings made with mics of commensurate quality. Perhaps this is one of those rare cases.
