Notes for this Remaster:

This footage is well known among the fans of the band as one of the most problematic audios. Volume fluctuations, instruments pop in and out, a constricted and murky mix. It's a live broadcasting from the stadium and the audio engineers seems totally lost.

At first, I felt totally discouraged in trying to improve something of this material, but after seeing that on Youtube there was no attempt, I decided to give it a shot and see the result.

I worked on this performance section by section trying to mitigate all the volume flutuactions, tryin some balance and dynamics. Some surgical EQs were fundamental to open a little bit the space and air of the instrumentations and a customized virtual stereo image to bring some spice from a Mono source. Well, the result is far from perfect, but i believe it's the best available so far here on Youtube.

The Video, i tried to bring some clarity to the dark stage lighting, denoise all the analog sh*t and digital compression artifacts from the DVD and applied some sharpness.

Only the video part took me 20 hours of processing. Hope you can enjoy this very good and energetic performance of the band.
