This is a decent recording (have heard worster soundcheck recordings and of course better ones), there's was a long time of inactivity between starting the first jamming and "Hole in my life". We havent seen another actively taper there, since other positions would have been more apart the venue - the 2nd Hamburg taper and a friend of him was chatting with K. If you have complaints about the quality, the lineage, the ... please delete the files, and don't cry. If you have a better version, come out with it. If you don't like it, buy yourself some equipment and record it yourself. We did what we could, so, this is it. And to us it's a nice souvenir for what was a great day. Additional notes: The used photo on the front cover was made inside the HSV shop aprox 2 hours before the soundcheck. So it was good to know where they have built up the stage. The photo on the back cover showed the stadium outside from the west-north side. Re-mastering notes: Originally, this was taped on a low volume and fixed with adding 8 db to get it audible. We removed parts of silence here and there, adjusted volume for the quiet parts to be able to hear anything. A slight hiss is sometimes to hear during these quite parts. Overall, sound quality is fair to good for a soundcheck. Our tape position was beside the merchandise stand, before the stadium (backside of the stage) and behind us the street, like a wonder no-one was there for screaming or clapping, allthough some of cars and other big vehicles needed to drive along. Thanx to a lot of people for this great day: > Matt, > HB and friends for the meeting and also for taping and filming too this Police concert, > Carlo for his precious infos regarding the soundcheck schedule, > the guy from Hannover we met first on the parking place early afternoon who have had a question while taping the soundcheck - thanks you got the pointer so fast and moved away, > our "neighbors" beside our seats for beeing so quite while taping and filming, > and all others we forgot to mention. Notes: Sting is missing during the Soundcheck because of doing interviews.
