| Recorded at the Scottrade Center, St. Louis, MO, USA. Good audience recording. From the info file: Roger Waters 2010-10-29 St. Louis, MO, Scottrade Center 'So It Begins' This is my recording of The Wall Tour 2010 in St. Louis, MO. You won't find many ROIO recordings made from an iPhone! I had just recently acquired the phone, and I made the recording for my own archives, just to see if I could record a whole show this way. Then I became aware 2 months after the show that this was a 'missing tour date', that is, no other taper has made a recording of this show available. So although the quality is not the best (see below), I felt I should make it available to the fan community. At least it will suffice until a better version surfaces. In order to differentiate this recording from others from this date which may appear later, I've titled mine 'So It Begins'. As heard on my recording, I muttered this when the first notes of In the Flesh began, as my party was late arriving and at that moment was still walking on the concourse into the auditorium. I wasn't too unhappy though, as we had just been approached by a man who was handing out free ticket upgrades! We had been on the escalator going to the upper balcony but ended up in section 103. It ended up being a good location to record from as you can discern some of the panning effects across the arena. This show also had some interesting features and sound samples not heard in other shows on this tour, most notably at the end of the second In the Flesh, when Roger acts out shooting the crowd with a prop machine gun. As for the quality.. it's listenable but not great, as there are several detracting factors. First and most importantly, as stated above it was recorded on my iPhone4 with the internal mic. And it was saved by the phone to m4a format (AAC), which is lossy. Also there is some annoying talking at times during the quiet sections, and a little crowd sing-along during Comfortably Numb. Finally as I mentioned, the first minute of In the Flesh was recorded from outside the arena but we settle into our seats by the end of it. Anyway besides all that, as a whole it's not a bad listen. I hope all the fans enjoy this recording, until if and when a better version from this tour date is made available!
