Resisted the urge to twist and tweak the knobs, so this is a straight digital dub of a great marathon concert. A bit of a challenge to get it all on one tape, thus the LP recording mode for disc 1. Nothing is missing except 2 seconds where I paused to change speed, and the encore/autograph session before Your Song. Not a note or spoken word is cut. The brief dropout at the very beginning of disc 2 is the DAT switching recording speeds. Nice quiet audience, except for the screaming girl nearby. She is far enough away to add atmosphere, not distract. Could have been worse, I could have been sitting next to her. Please buy the new album. Most people in the audience used those songs as beer/bathroom time, and that is a shame. The material holds up. Leon was great, and Elton always is. The only disappointment for me was no “Ballad of a Well Known Gun,” but it is safe to say the other 99.99% of those there do not share my sentiments. Tracks done on the fly so they are not perfect. If you leave off the last track and first track of each disc you should have a seamless recording for longer media. Enjoy.
