Notes by the taper:
Excellent show with the same, sacral feeling that I've experienced at previous Cohen concerts. I didn't want to invest in a so-called "Golden Circle" ticket (over 1000 NOK, about 170 $), so I was about 50 - 60 metres from the stage. The sound was excellent, although a bit low. This makes recording vulnerable to audience noise, and some of the tracks (especially towards the end of the concert) bear sign of this. I've tried to reduce it in between songs, though. This was done with Cubase SX3, and I also applied some EQ and split the tracks here.
