Billy Joel & Elton John
St. Louis, MO - Busch Stadium
August 9, 1994
Recorded terrace level of the stadium, halfway back
Sony ECM-MS907 microphone > Sony WM-D3 recorder > Maxell XL II high bias cassette >
Sony TC-WR350Z > SoundSaver for INport > WAV > Trader's Little Helper > FLAC
Note: Tracks 1 & 18 are not included as they are pre-recorded overtures.
This is a decent recording considering it was recorded halfway back in a stadium.
The show had a great sound system and the recording is clear, but lacks the
"punch" you would expect from a recording near the speaker bank on the field
or in an arena. Audience "participation" (talking/clapping) is what you would expect from this
seating location, but nothing too overt.
Still, this is a nice record of what the F2F tours were like in the
very beginning on their first tour together.
