Bootleg Title: "Don't Sing So Close To Me"
File Size: 643 MB (FLAC)


Option 1:
---------

It requires one 90 min CD-R and one normal CD-R. The two fade tracks 
(police2007-09-22t12a.wav and police2007-09-22t12b.wav) need to be removed.
This way the show is put onto CD-Rs just as it was recorded (no aditional
cut). If the included cue sheets (police2007-09-22d1-90min.cue and 
police2007-09-22d2-90min.cue) are used those two tracks are omitted
automatically.

Disc 1:
1.) Intro
2.) Message In A Bottle
3.) Synchronicity II
4.) Walking On The Moon
5.) Voices Inside My Head
6.) When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around
7.) Don't Stand So Close To Me
8.) Driven To Tears
9.) Hole In My Life (incl. Hit The Road Jack)
10.) Truth Hits Everybody
11.) Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
12.) Wrapped Around Your Finger
13.) De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
14.) Invisible Sun
15.) Walking In Your Footsteps
16.) I Can't Stand Losing You
17.) Roxanne
Running Time: 86'11"

Disc 2:
1.) Encore Break
2.) King Of Pain
3.) So Lonely
4.) Every Breath You Take
5.) Next To You
6.) Outro
Running Time: 25'19"

Total Running Time: 111'30"


Option 2:
---------

It requires only two normal CD-Rs. The fade out (police2007-09-22t12a.wav) 
has to be put at the end of disc one and the fade in (police2007-09-22t12b.wav) 
needs to the first track on the second disc. If the included cue sheets 
(police2007-09-22d1-normal.cue and police2007-09-22d2-normal.cue) are used 
those two tracks are added automatically.

Disc 1:
1.) Intro
2.) Message In A Bottle

4.) Walking On The Moon
5.) Voices Inside My Head
6.) When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around

10.) Truth Hits Everybody
11.) Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
12.) Wrapped Around Your Finger
13.) Fade Out
Running Time: 56'53"

Disc 2:
1.) Fade In
2.) De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

Notes:
I might be a bit biased but this is one of the best performances from the 
entire reunion tour. Unfortunately, I must confess that I haven't yet had 
the time to listen to many of them. The sound was crystal clear and very 
well balanced. Considering the fact that such big stadium concerts often 
tend sound a bit hollow and bassy.
There were two major jerks right behind me. The first one was splashing
some water from a bottle he opened on my neck and back during WOTM. And his 
boyfriend was singing extremely loud and wrong all of the time. In the 
middle of DSSCTM you can hear me turning around and telling him to shut up.
I would have done this even I was not recording the show. He was completely
annoying. There is also a cut after 'Roxanne' due to technical reasons.
Just a couple of seconds of audience cheering are missing.
Here is a more detailed description of the processing I did:
- WaveLab 6 (V6.01) has been used if not noted otherwise
- Level correction of only the first file with audio montage:
  overall montage gain set to +6.00 dB plus
  +6.00 dB -> 0:00 to 2:04
  +1.90 dB -> 2:10
  -6.00 dB -> 2:23 until end
- Normalizing and sample rate conversion from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz:
  Peak Master (Input Gain = +3.00 dB, Out Ceiling = -0.05 dB, Softness
  = 0) ->
  Crystal Resampler plug-in (quality = ultra) plus
  Apogee UV22 HR Dithering plug-in (output bit resolution = 16 bits,
  dither noise type = low, autoblack = off) ->
  rendering to 16/44.1 wave file
- Stripping file headers with shntool down to canonical size
- Fixing sector boundary errors in files (zero padding 235 samples at
  the end) using EAC (V0.95 beta 4)
- Zero padding at the beginning and end of discs (1 s = 75 blocks =
  44'100 samples) with shntool
- Track splitting by cue sheet using EAC
- Converting to FLAC format with FLAC frontend (V1.7.1 Etree edition)
Well, that's it! Enjoy the recording and the show!
