Excellent memory of a great concert, recorded in the back of the Politeama theatre in Genova, one of the lucky Italian cities recently visited by the group after the two years delay. Genova had to wait 50 years for the band comeback!!! Surely in the audience many were the same ones who gathered at the Alcione theater in May 1972.
Perfect sound for a perfect night. Thanks to Alessandro B. who did such a marvel recording from the last row. Included pictures from the concert were shot by Marco Gozzi. A huge thanks to both, they deserve it from us all.
I just make minimal adjustments, on the edge of perfectionism, in order to balance the 2 channels (+3 dB on the right one) and remove few mic bumbs here and there, not affecting the music at all.
Enjoy and share it.
