This has the last performance of Secret Journey, and I'd say that overall the
execution here is superb. The big turn-off here is that this is a touch distant
and has plenty of reverb to go around. Based on other recordings, I suspect the
Carrier Dome is a big place that is quite echoey. It's particularly bad right
when the show starts, for these fans are LOUD. Some of Sting's banter is
incredibly difficult to hear as well. Why there is no Walking On the Moon here
is a mystery to me, but I would bet it is because of Secret Journey. Perhaps the
taper forgot to resume the tape when he flipped it over. I also wonder if it was
perhaps on a 100-minute tape at one point and it was cut off. If so, then a
smooth job was done of covering it up. With this having Secret Journey and
having such a good performance (for my money, we have the best version ever of
Bring On the Night here), it's one I wouldn't pass up. However, I won't be
surprised if it isn't the first Secret Journey show you pick out to listen to.

I had the same source maybe less genned but mono. I am keeping this one that is
stereo; the listening experience is very distant and reverbered anyway.
