The review

The second date in Canada was in Ottawa but, unfortunately, its recording was not close at all to the previous ones in terms of quality; this recording has not been widely circulated before, though.

Here the 2 channels were identical (monaural recordings) but offset and with unpleasant intensity variations. T he best channel (the right one) has been kept and duplicated: the sound is now recentered and more homogeneous. As usual the recording is now de-clicked and its phase adjusted.

By comparing it to the other versions of this tour, this recording was accelerated by around +2%.

In particular, on Disc One, after You Gotta Move there’s a gap before the next song.

On Disc Two Semolina fades in, the beginning is missing and there are some speed variations in the song, after Red House there’s a gap before the next song.
