About approx. 10 meters from the stage. Because the mic was not exactly in the center of the P.A., I pointed it slightly to the left. A big thanks once again to Radwan for making this recording possible. Notes: Although this show was actually programmed on the fifth of May, the band only started playing after midnight and so May 6 is the correct date. An intense and explosive performance, probably the best I ever saw them do. The two new songs have really come together by now. The venue was great as well. A small intimate place with a balcony all around the hall, giving the people the opportunity to watch the band from every angle. The band itself seemed to enjoy themselves very much so too. A great way to end this tour. The sound quality is as good or better than the Brussels show in April. No cuts, mic obstruction, data compression or any other shortcomings here that occure on many audience recordings. I mastered the recording with Multiband compression, EQ and Limiter VST plugins (see http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad-plug-ins.html) which made the recording sound more 'alive'. I hate it when a recording sounds processed and unnatural, and so I always attempt to use these tools tastefully and only if required.
