My first attempt at recording with the R-09, I am generally happy with the result, although the raw sound was really bass heavy and unlistenable, so I had to reduce it a bit. You can still notice it, but I didn't want to do too much at the risk of affecting the overall sound. I'll post a couple of samples so you can judge for yourself if it's worth the download.

The show was on Chinese New Year's Day, thus the title, which is the standard New Year greeting (in Cantonese) and means something like "Wishing you prosperity and wealth". You'll hear Sting say this after Synch2, and he also says "sun nin fai lok" (happy new year). He also refers to it being new year's eve several times during the show, despite the fact it's actually new year's day.

No surprises with the setlist unfortunately, if anything it seems to be getting shorter. If anyone wants to make artwork, feel free (photos from the show available for this purpose - PM me).

Do whatever the f@%k you want with this because I can't stop you anyway.
