Next To You 5:08 Notes: Well, I really lucked out with this "cheap seat." The upper level really isn't very high in this venue, which is a hall/gymnasium where the stage is actually built into the venue like you would see at the New York Metropolitan Opera. My seat was one of three right on top of the tunnel to Sections 211 and 212, meaning that no one was in front of me, and only one couple was to my left. The aisle was to my right. I had a clear, unobstructed shot at the PA stacks for the entire show, and the recording in turn came out beautifully. The recording is crisp and clean with virtually no audience noise during songs. The way this sounds, you would think it was recorded from the floor near the soundboard. It helped that the acoustics were terrific in this place, very clean and directed sound. I decided my recording could use a little volume boost, but otherwise there were no adjustments to the raw wave files. This is a pretty good performance by the band. The setlist of course remains the same from the European leg of the tour, but the band was pretty tight. Some of the songs were performed slightly differently from how they had been performing them. For example, the bridge section of DSSCTM is played a whole step higher than previously. The end of "Invisible Sun" was extended beyond where it normally ended. "Walking In Your Footsteps" doesn't have that jam section right before Sting's last couple of lines. I'm sure there are other examples. There are a few mistakes to be sure (for example, the band yet again gets out of sync on "Hole In My Life" at one point), but I feel this is a better performance than most of the European shows. I felt the crowd was very good and responsive at this show, although there were a noticeable amount of empty seats in the house. Sting's closing remarks included, "Good luck at the blackjack tables tonight." Please do not trade ** except for other uncirculated Police. Do not torrent, put on hubs or ftp servers, trade only!
