A very nice recording, but that's no surprise with the equipment being used. Really nice bass to this recording, it has a heavy punch to it that's really missing on a lot of minidisc recordings. Nice and crisp instruments, vocals, just a nice recording all around. My only complaint is the taper stood near the soundboard, so the crowd chatter is a lot more than it could be if he had moved closer to the stacks. It's not bad, but I prefer recordings that are in front of the stack to reduce crowd chatter. Nothing Else Matters is a big annoying with some girl singing along..or attempting to sing is more like it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance is pretty good, still a little rough around the edges. James stops Ride the Lighting, and starts it over. St. Anger almost falls apart as well. Damage Inc has a couple of false starts. Good crowd interaction, the European crowds do so much better on the group sing-a-longs with the guitar. See Master of Puppets and Creeping Death on this show. James tried getting the US crowds to do it during the Summer Sanitarium tour, but I have yet to hear a show where the crowd gets it. Oh well. They were still mixing up the setlists at this point, which maybe why they are still rough around the edges.
James says "Sing it Italy" during Puppets. Also says Italy a bunch more times.
