THE CONCERT
This was an indoor show. The roof of the LTU arena was closed. I was 30 meters from the stage, to the left. This is a clean recording.  You hear some people screaming and singing loud around me. But it is actually quite good to my ears. Phil didn't seem to have his best night; but all went well nevertheless. You hear some problems, but nothing that is really worth mentioning. The next night (27th) was aired to cinema's in the UK and Sweden. The band used this to get everything right for that event. That's why I call this one: Cinema rehearsal in Düsseldorf.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Recording format: 44.1 Khz WAV

I was standing on the left side of the stage, about 30 meters away. The left speaker stack was in front of me. Mike hight at about 1,80 meters. Gain was set at + 14.0 dB, auto correction (live). Some clipping occured as a result of loud applause next to me.

THE SOUND TREATMENT PROCESS
I tried really to bring out the best of this one. I was standing to the left of the stage. The right channel had lots of echo from the venue. I prepared two versions of the raw source. One with more echo and one that sounds closer. I doubled the left channel for that purpose to the right. I brought out the bass a little and my special sound treatment so that it sounds just fine to my ears. I used some Soundforge filters for that, 
with settings adapted for this recording. With both versions I was not satisfied. So I decided to do a matrix of these two masters. With Adobe Audition I mixed the two together. The finishing touch was done with Soundforge again, to correct some loud clapping and adjust the volume level. So here it is. Genesis in good form and the sound is an A for my ears. Play this one really loud!
