John Legend is a crooner, in the mold of Sam Cook, Marvin Gaye, and Teddy Pendergrass.
This concert is at the Orange County Fair before a wildly enthusiastic crowd that
obviously knew ever song, and sung along with most of the tracks. So crowd noise is an
issue here that downgrades the quality, along with people standing up in front of me and
passing in front of me to get beers and dancing, which impacted the sound, Further, the
bass player played keyboard low end bass-percussion samples which was produced an ear
deafening, ka-thumping and the stage mix lacked high end and drums. These faults had to
be taken out with an 80htz highpass, and treble boost, further downgrading my rating to
a B+ to A-. Samples are included, and you can make your judgment. I am a tough grader.

I am not a John Legend fan, and therefore do not know the songs, so I'm sure the others
would appreciate correcting the track list. A simple Slimline Cover is in the torrent.
