NOTES

A remaster of the closing night at MetLife Stadium show, sourced from all three (as of 9/25) recordings of the show. This version is mainly based around the excellent Bakerstuff recording, with bass/background vocals/extra instrumentation added from the larryrulz and ademotte recordings. I tried to get as full a sound as possible using all three. Obviously since the three sources are all fan recordings, it’s far from perfect, especially with the louder full band songs, as there is too much going on to all mix completely clearly. This one really shines throughout though, Bruce’s voice sits on top of everything pretty consistently, and Garry’s bass often comes through more clearly than usual. It’s far from perfect and obviously an amateur effort, but to my ears, an improvement from what’s available at this time.

Mixed in Adobe Audition through studio headphones, so it’s best suited to high quality speakers or headphones on the playback.

Thanks again to all the original tapers who did an amazing job providing the recordings to work with. Hope at least a few of you enjoy this.
