Sound RatingA-
NoteThis is definitely a better sounding source than the MD recording. Nice, warm DAT sound. The recording is bass-heavy on the first few songs, but the taper adjusts the levels appropriately by the 4th, and gets a very good sound.
This one picks up on a nice collective crowd sing-along to most all songs. It's a very cool thing to hear this happen when it is caught well (ie. when the crowd is a mass chanting/singing roar in the background, and not an out-of-tune jackass sing-screaming right next to the mics). This happens on many songs.
However, with the good comes the bad. The NY crowd was -obnoxious- this night. At Radio City of all places. Stupid girls screaming their head off; meatheads yell-cussing for no reason; and just a lot of talking in general. This was caught on both recordings. Really disappointing.

As mentioned in the the review for Version A, Tool is certainly on for this show. You'll want to have a copy of this. But again, this isn't near what was performed at MSG a year before.

Tech Notes:
- The recording was tracked very oddly (broken down below): Splitting up the Grudge and Lateralus, but including The Patient, Aenema, and Intermission all on 1 track.
- There are copies of this show floating around with a large 6-second skip in the beginning of Disposition, and various other glitches/skips spread throughout. I don't know how these got there, but they shouldn't be there, and nor should anybody be spreading them around.
This copy is from the master, & glitch-free.
