A negative comment on http://pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=7&bootleg_id=2743 led me to seek out other versions of this show (it was rated D+ with a comment that the sound was much duller and muffled compared to other versions). I found two others on QualityBootz and listened carefully to the song "Comfortably Numb" on all 3.

When listening to louder complex passages, the version called 'Wallpower' sounded very similar to the version posted here. Both sounded rough and congested during loud passages. The best of the 3 is by MOTB. I found the 16 bit/44.1 kHz version here: http://qualitybootz.blogspot.com/2009/01/pink-floyd-hempstead-1980-feb-28-ex-aud.html

The MOTB version is much cleaner, more detailed, smoother and more closely resembled real instruments. It's volume is boosted, but I didn't hear digital clipping.

I have no doubt that the very best version is the 24/96 Definitive Edition by MOTB, but I could not find this anywhere. [memo to Dr. Forrester: please add that to your to-do list].
