'Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall (Day 2)' - 26th February 1980 - Nassau Coliseum, NY



Sound Quality: A-
Performance: A-
Overall: 4/5 iTunes

During this process I sometimes find myself crossing fingers on a bootleg, hoping the quality will remain solid and no cuts or problems. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not. This makes it until the Trial before the vocals have issues, the first verse is low volume and cuts out completely for some of the verse, but I think that was on the show.

All in all his is great show! A really great performance, lots of nice solo work, 'Comfortably Numb' has a ragged spot here and there but that is all to be expected and is still great, solo work on 'Another Brick In The Wall (part 2)' also deserves a mention. Everyone was fine form, Rogers vocals were expressive as always and the MC part at the front was cut to last few seconds, which I do not have an issue with!

The problem on the Trial and the fact there is a small volume drop after 'One Of My Turns' or there abouts which knocked it down from an 'A+' for sound quality but I justed turned it up a click, no big deal. The sound effects are all really clear, audience noise is appropriate in volume and never becomes annoying.

Grab this one, make sure you get Day 2 though 2/26, I reviewed the Day 1 show earlier this week and I still have one more day to go in the 'Tearing Down the Colisum Wall' set that I have. Seek this one out it is a must and the best audience recording I have heard so far. I guess I will have to keep going to know if this is truely the best though. Stay tuned!
