Another from my collection. As with my others this has been sitting in a box for 15+ years and I can't remember where it came from but I'm very glad I can share it with you and repay some of the other gems I now have.

A corrected version of this recording was was upped by Eeklair however this is a much lower gen version and a massive improvement which needs no correction at all. This isn't the best concert on the Ghost tour but it's easily the best audience recording. I had to listen a few times to make sure it wasn't soundboard...the audience clapping between the songs gives it away but otherwise it's a rich and full sound.

notes:
Upon listening to this, I wonder if this an FM or soundboard, because there is little audience noise and the bass in particular comes through with a clarity that is downright spooky. I myself think that this is a stellar audience recording. The band also seems to be in good form. But once Demolition Man rolls around, they seem to lose a little bit of footing and the playing comes off as forced. Shadows In The Rain has the same problem. Walking On The Moon kicks off disc 2, and the band plays one of the best versions I have yet heard of the song. This may not be a New Haven, but it is easily in the same league and is a must-have from this tour if you can find it.
