This recording is a remaster of BigDee's FM recording of Suzanne Vega's show in Amsterdam from last October. The original torrent had a couple of problems which have been corrected for this remaster. 

- First of all "Blood makes noise" wasn't indexed as a seperate track. This has been corrected here. 

- The original recording also had some digital skips. Most were very small (less than 0.2 seconds), but "New York is a woman" and "Rosemary" both had 5 seconds missing. To complete the missing bits and to correct the small skips I've used a recording sourced from the Fabchannel.com webcast of this show. The website doesn't list its bitrate, but looking at the spectral view it looks like 128 kbps to me (if somebody can find accurate info on this correct me and I'll edit this info). If you know where the original skips were it's easy to spot where the edits happen, but at least the songs are complete now and we can hear the show as it was actually performed. Check out the mp3 sample below for a before/after comparison of the skip in "New York is a woman" and decide for yourself. 

- Some of the tracks also had Suzanne's intro's at the start which I always find annoying as it makes them impossible to skip when you're tired of hearing them. They have been moved to the end.
