This is a great show - it bounds along with the energy of the early days! Blondie gigs from 1998 onwards I am finding often boast some great playing and live production too, an interesting contrast to the often rougher, sligtly less polished but often very energetic 1970s gigs: this show neatly straddles both stools here.

It sounded too high pitched throughout, this was addressed by slowing down the speed, to address the only rational way the pitch got that high. I adjusted this by minus 4-5 percent upon comparison to other 1998 and 1999 gigs, and this indeed got a realistic match. I did feel the sound could do with more treble: however as site notes here state a preference towards non-eq'd shows, I have placed an EQ'd version of this elsewhere - this version I have only tackled the speed issue.

Original notes below, and for those who need such things, the original text file is included, untouched.

I hope you enjoy this show as much as I have!
