Notes:

Lots of audience noise and distance made for a mediocre recording. Most of the loud tracks I cared about (Ugly, Quiet and X.Y.U.) sounded good. Clipping during audience screams comes from post-processing and wasn't in the original.
No encore due to the curfew, so we missed out on Starla and Silverfuck.

There was at least one other experienced taper there that night with a better spot.

Bones UK opened, and was also recorded:

I read the other reviews and decided to give it a try. First I grabbed Eye and gave it a quick listen. The taper said
"audience noise and distance made for a mediocre recording." If this is what he calls mediocre... there are many others who could learn something from him. It sounds better than a lot of boots a have heard over the years. Well done
BTW Pumpkins still sounding good after all the years.

Subject: Not bad sounding.

I have worse bootlegs than this. It sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for sharing.

Subject: Hard limiter

Thanks for sharing your tape!!! Sounds quite good. Check out the "hard limit" function in your chosen post processing software if you are trying to boost the music relative to loud applause without clipping

Subject: Mediocre? Nope!

I may not have the highest standards, and I like a bit of crowd chatter on a live recording, but I definitely wouldn't say this was mediocre! Thank you for sharing this really enjoyable tape - Made my morning at work quite pleasant! Bass sounded great, and everything else was very clear. Band is crushing it this tour!
