Notes:
The newly circulating IEM mixed in with Prodigal Son's AUD version. I'm not sure who's original recording PS remastered.
The IEM went through Audition's Multiband Compressor, the settings of which was the 'Broadcast' preset, with one change of the Limiter threshold being changed from -10dB to -13dB. PS version was heavy on the left channel, I panned it back over to compensate. And a blanket -3dB levels adjustment for the mixing.

This sounds fantastic IMO. The AUD adds a nice sense of scale and epicness to things, and the crystal clear clarity of the IEM keeps the music at the forefront. In places (only ever during a non-music spoken passage) it's very quiet. Both the IEM and PS versions were like that so obviously is was in the originals, probably Bruce unknowingly backing away from the mic.
I thought about going through and manually increasing the volume in these places, but decided it'd be best to leave it faithful to the original. The dynamic range was already compressed enough with me compressing the IEM and PS compressing whatever source he used. BITUSA is missing from the IEM so that is just the Prodigal Son version. And again at the end of Devils and Dust there's a large cut in the IEM. As I said before I've not heard much D&D stuff, and so I don't know if the schtick in between Fade Away and Santa Ana was regular on the tour or what, but this is the first time I've heard it, and damn, it just doesn't get old.
