Notes:
This is a very nice and clear mono recording. Sting seems to enjoy playing in southern France and tries to speak some French. On this tour, Sting typically invited a fan to sing on stage with him on "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying." It sounds like for this show the fan(s) actually came from Barcelona and didn't speak French. This show features a very spirited rendition of When The World Is Running Down.

I noticed a few relatively minor digital glitches near the end, possibly due to problems with a CD-burn/rip. The EAC rip logs are included for the two CD-Rs that this audio came from. Tracks 10-16, which came from disc 2 had low levels originally and fades at the start and end of that section. I amplified that section by +5 dB to match the rest of the audio. 
The original audio ran slow. A universal +1.5% speed adjustment was necessary to correct the issue and bring it to standard A4=440 Hz tuning.  I did this work in Audacity on a combined single track and exported the results as retracked FLAC files. TLH was used to fix SBE and create a checksum. -ledwhofloyd (Ross), Dec. 2021
