There's a reason why i waited a couple of months to bring this to DIME.

First off, this was broadcast over the web as video and i only did the audio capture as a failsafe because in the past for some reason there's was a good chance stream capturing would fail. Needless to say, it did, and the resulting disappointment soured me on this show for a while. I didn't even listen back afterwards. There were a handful of brief glitches - those are inherent to the stream.

Now that the disappointment has subsided, i bring you what is essentially a raw soundboard recording with all the problems that brings with it:

extreme dynamics
very dry sound
mix fluctuations (especially early on)

But what you get is a GREAT quality (if, as sadly inherent to its source, lossy) Earth Band show, perhaps the best capture of the tour.

If anyone has the video, please come forward.

Also, here's my wishlist of shows (some i know to be out there, some i don't):

Aachen 2004
Stolberg 2007
Harburg 2016 (complete webstream video)
Cologne 2017
Hamburg 2019 (well, obviously)
