Recording Notes
I think it came out rather well considering the Dome is notorous for it's bad sound. I had a rather restricted view from my original tickets so I went towards the back into a section that had a heap of empty seats (plus it was far to hot to be jammed in tight) so as a result there is very little chat/claps etc from people around me. There was a hiccup with the PA at the start but that was soon fixed after a few seconds, and Bruce had a few stuff ups along the way. The only editing was fades on each end, and a db increase. I switched discs during the break and joined them up using a slight cross fade to even things out a little.

Some History
I been a fan since I got Live After Death for Christmas in 1985, and I'd long given up any idea of seeing the band live without having to spend thousands to get there, so after 23 years this show was a real treat and this is by far the most rewarding concert I've been to. Hopefully Bruce lives up to his promise and we get some return visits in the future. Do yourself a favour and go buy the new Live After Death dvd, arguably the best concert dvd ever.

UP the Irons!
