Audience Recording

16bit 44.1hz version
*Contast Clause*
This is the 16/44.1 version of the show I already uploaded here http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?returnto=%2Faccount-cp.php&id=439242. In addition, I have performed significant re-mastering on this version. The most significant is that this version is Mono. I found that most of the clipping on my previous upload occurred on the Right Channel. I have eliminated that channel, and used the Left Channel for both channels. I believe this results in a significant SOUND upgrade to the 20 bit version (not perfect, but much better in my opinion). I have also slightly elevated the low end a bit. Due to the fact this is a Mono recording now, the file size is much less than what it would have been otherwise. No compression has been done to this. I understand that some people don't care for modifications of the original recording, and if you have an issue contact me via PM and we can discuss.

Great night with The Who! This recording of the show started out rough, as my seat was right next to a security person. As a result I couldn't check my recording levels until near the end of The Punk and the Godfather, when I realized (as I expected to find) that the recording levels were too high. This resulted in some clipping (particularly during the vocals, SEE COMMENTS ABOVE) during the first 5 songs, but it does get much better after I was able to turn the volume down. I did perform some volume level reduction on the first five songs so they blend well with the rest of the show.I do think the loudness of this show pushed the limits of my microphones though. Be sure to listen to the samples. SEE COMMENTS ABOVE REGARDING CLIPPING.
Zak Starkey was not on drums again in this show (a real bummer for me, as he helped saved The Who as far as I'm concerned), but Scott Devours did a fantastic job. So don't worry if you are going to see the band in one of the upcoming shows. It sounds like Zak has tendon issues and is done with the tour. Finally, Roger's voice was strong overall, but had moments of struggle. I would love to see them again on this tour, however, and feel fortunate to have been able to see them in Denver.
