Leonard Cohen - Fredriksten Fortress, Halden, Norway 29th of August 2012

Excellent show with the same, sacral feeling that I've experienced at previous Cohen concerts. I didn't want to invest in a so-called "Golden Circle" ticket (over 1000 NOK, about 170 $), so I was about 50 - 60 metres from the stage. The sound was excellent, although a bit low. This makes recording vulnerable to audience noise, and some of the tracks (especially towards the end of the concert) bear sign of this. I've tried to reduce it in between songs, though. This was done with Cubase SX3, and I also applied some EQ and split the tracks here.
The original recording was done with a Zoom H4 stereo recorder in lossles PCM wave (16 bit 44.100 Hz).
Conversion to flac (level 8) + torrent made with Trader's Little Helper.
