This a massive improvement to "The Meaning Of Life". Sound is crisp and clear, with a fine balance between high and low end. Audience is raucious but never gets intrusive during the songs. Only a guy with a horn is audible from time to time.... After "Sundy Bloody Sunday" and "Bad" are edits due to the tape flip, killing some audience noise. "40" fades in during the first verse. Other than that no major flaws are detectable.
