STING - Verona "Arena" 6th of May 1988 FM (Exc+) - Complete 144' Lineage : received on audio CD --> CDEX (WAV) - Fairstars Audio Converter 2 (FLAC level 5) --> You Quality : A+. The quality is just outstanding. It's amazing. Unfortunately, there are moments where the sound is really scratchy (I don't know the real term of the problem did I ever encounter that before and couldn't repaired it). It only last like a few seconds when it happens, but it happens (mostly during Lazarus Heart). The source of this show is either a FM either or a soundboard. All I can say is that it's even better than the famous Art of the Heart show from Los Angeles. Running time : 144' Artowrk : none Personal : This is just an outstanding, complete show. I tried to put that audio on the complete Verona dvd I have, but it's really too long and difficult to respect the lip-synch. I have to thank someone for sending me this show on audio (I don't know if I may say your name :-) but you'll recognize. For the fun I've made a total crap teaser with excerpts of the show. I thought it was going to be good, but no it's totally stupid because I didn't finish it really. But I'll share it anyway :-) You'll have a good idea of the sound quality.

I think to remember the sound wasn't perfect at the beginning of the broadcast, I think techs were still at work to solve problems when the thing started. There is an SBE on one track, but this is too long for me to fix now. - Carlo. length expanded size cdr WAVE probs filename 10:00.16 105877676 --- -- -xx cd1/01 - Lazarus Heart-Too Much Info.flac 5:02.18 53315180 --- -- -xx cd1/02 - We'll be together.flac 4:45.21 50323536 -b- -- -xx cd1/03 - Englishman in NY.flac 7:43.50 81790844 --- -- -xx cd1/04 - Sister Moon.flac 5:15.54 55693052 --- -- -xx cd1/05 - Rock Steady.flac 4:38.46 49147436 --- -- -xx cd1/06 - Straight to my heart.flac 8:53.17 94061228 --- -- -xx cd1/07 - One World (not three).flac 6:04.21 64259036 --- -- -xx cd1/08 - If you love somebody.flac 10:59.04 116257052 --- -- -xx cd1/09 - Bring on - When the world.flac 11:14.01 118895996 --- -- -xx cd2/01 - They dance Alone.flac 6:03.13 64063820 --- -- -xx cd2/02 - Consider me gone.flac 5:46.67 61192028 --- -- -xx cd2/03 - King of pain.flac 5:56.36 62883116 --- -- -xx cd2/04 - Be still my beating heart.flac 4:30.15 47663324 --- -- -xx cd2/05 - Walking in your footsteps.flac 3:34.59 37888412 --- -- -xx cd2/06 - Fragile.flac 10:29.47 111066188 --- -- -xx cd2/07 - Little Wing.flac 4:10.03 44107100 --- -- -xx cd2/08 - Russians.flac 5:03.30 53519804 --- -- -xx cd2/09 - Fortress around your heart.flac 9:32.66 101056076 --- -- -xx cd2/10 - Don't stand so close to me.flac 3:35.53 38050700 --- -- -xx cd3/01 - Caro mio bien.flac 4:59.34 52823612 --- -- -xx cd3/02 - Every breath you take.flac 7:13.63 76529420 --- -- -xx cd3/03 - Message in a bottle.flac 145:32.59 1540464636 B (totals for 22 files, 0.6611 overall compression ratio)
