This is an excellent recording of a very good show - a show that skirts the edges of that "X" Factor we all look for. It's definitely four plus stars. But what puts this evening into five star territory is the recording. I would have to give the technical fidelity prize to Jim Wise with his two shotgun Nak CM-700s as the best front-of-board recording of the band but, being hand-held, the clapping is severe in his capture.

This Taylor recording is also very good but it is much softer and farther away with lots of clean reverb, being the fuzziest at the beginning of Jack Straw. Captain Toke's comment in another review "It seems like the "playin in the barn" line must have been a response to the weird mix they had onstage between 'bertha' and 'playin'" - is funny. It does seem like The Boyz are playing in a barn at first. The one advantage Mason's recording has is that his mics are high off the crowd. So this softer version's ambience is much different than Jim's. In some respect, it's a matter of personal choice which you may prefer.

I think overall, having listened to the whole thing, Mason's version of this night might be better. The ambience is really, really nice. Either way, you can't miss downloading either version. So enjoy this great show!
