Set 2Highlights: Long and solid show with a very cool opening jam for My Best Friend, and one of the best Twins of the tour.

Alex says: i've been listening to the CD- Rs of anders' recording all day. they are just EXCELLENT. even my father liked them. ;-)

i nominate the bremen version of Twin for the best version of the tour!. the jamming is much much more subtle & the neil young influence is just brilliant. just listen to the beginning, to the way snah finds his way into the theme. this is so advanced to any other version. ok, ok, so the trondheim version had the hard part in the end but this is not what represents the "twins" of the tour because it was the only version that had it. my choice is bremen. period. :)

The different sources: i now have all three bremen sources here with me & gave them all a listen on different stereos (at home, car, with headphones). here is what i came up with:

1) the first MD source is a fine & clear recording with a high bass level. the quiet parts are wonderfully clear. when it gets louder though, the bass becomes too strong for my taste overshadowing everything else. this is very uncomfortable on headphones. the biggest disadvantage of this recording is that the crowd noise comes in pretty loud. there are no cuts.

2) the second MD recording by anders hustveit is a stellar source with a lower bass level than the first MD recording. everything is audible ALL OF THE TIME. most of the time you can really seperate all sounds & instruments. the quiet parts sound similiar to the first source but this one you can crank up & it stays clear & comfortable. you get equal joy out of it on all three stereos i tried. there are no cuts. the crowd noise is more distant due to the mic-stand. an excellent & outstanding recording with more width than darmstadt 2000 for example. also, it has a little more bass than most of anders' recordings.

3) the third source is a DAT source. a fine source at that; if this would be the only source we could be content. this source has a strong bass as well. during the louder parts the bass is more comfortable than on the first recording, but still it forces me to turn the volume down. also, the instruments kind of blur during the very loud parts like the "stalemate" climax. this source might be a good source for people keen on bass but the biggest drawback is a slight amount of hiss. the crowdnoise is as distant & cool (no single voices screaming directly in your ear) as anders' probably due to the recorder's vantage point at the front of the balcony.

i might be biased because i listened to anders' source from the morning after the show & i have listened to it countless times by now ("she used to be a twin") but i am really convinced it is the best sounding one. it is one hell of a great show! enjoy! --alex
