REMASTER SUMMARY: EQ work to reveal - not mix - extant AR detail, as
the audience heard and felt it. No attempts to alter band-crowd-venue
sound balance. If crowd sound as real and detailed as band sound isn't
desired, please pass this by and stick to boards or industry releases.

IMO this is the best available recording from the Drama tour - period.

The only known SBD from a few days earlier at MSG is incomplete, and has mediocre sound. This Boston recording is the highest-quality AUD available (followed by Rochester 9/16, Chicago 8/22 & Dallas 9/27).
