Taped from inside the D-barrier, but up the back close to the sound desk.
Minimal crowd noise, mics had foam protectors for the wind but sound a little swirling at times (outdoor festival and all).


Neil was the headline act for the 2009 Big Day Out festival across Australia and New Zealand.
See- http://bigdayout.com/vault/2009
From memory his slot was 9-10.30pm, the last act on the main stages. Arctic Monkeys were on beforehand.
It seemed that Neil enjoyed the festival shows on this short tour more than his side-shows.
Young crowds jumping around and other acts showing him love as opposed to 'oldies' sitting in their chairs with arms folded...


Sugar Mountain says no tape exists for this show.
I haven't shared this recording previously so let's cross it off the 'uncirculating' list.
