A WONDEROUS night in Birmingham
"WOW, just wow!..."
Recorded with love and tears in my eyes.
At times the emotion was almost unbearable (I Get Up, Soon, Master Of Images etc) if you know, you know...

Also a quick nod to the sound guys for the pre-show and interval music being 'Création du Monde' by Vangelis :-) missed by many.
Lineage: Zoom H5/XYH-5 Wav 44.1 16bit -> USB -> SoundForge (Edit, Split) -> TLH SB align and FLAC encode (Level 8)
I've tried to capture the sheer 'power' of last night's show. Richie's bass was immense.
I'll post some artwork once I've had a chance to work up some images. I wanted to get the music up ASAP.
