This show had the best sound I have ever heard.
But it has not reached the flacs that I am sending.

Half of that sound was grabbed and kept by hundreds of loyal floydian ears. So many people having such deep emotions for Mr. Waters music must have an effect on (radio and) sound waves; this being a plausible explanation of why a recording will never be like being there.

The other half of that sound was buried by the audience singers.
This recording will remain, frozen in time for their eternal shame.
I did not say anything at the time, because I could understand that you liked the music in that way, given that you knew the whole lyrics. But you are lousy singers with horrible voices.

Again: You, bitches, were terrible singers.

Now for a bit more of an explanation:
This has been my first recording. And I got my mic only hours before the show.
I had read about how to set volume levels to get the music right, and I had experimented a little bit during the weekend (small crowd watching the Barcelona - Real game). But then at the show it was a different thing.
I was in the best possible place, dead center just by the sound console. But there were guards around and the sound people around, so I chickened out and let it on autopilot. The results are better than I expected at that moment (it was loud!) but, well, it shows it is a first timer recording...

And then I ruined DSOTM: I don«t know why I brought the wrong HI-MD to the show, and it became full by the start of Time. I do not know how I noticed it, since the recorder was in my pocket, and only a bit of the song was lost.

I intend to do better recordings in the future. But that will not happen in such a show as Mr. Waters. It was truly remarkable.

If someone can remaster the files or make it better in any way, please just proceed!
