Notes
Roger Waters with Eric Clapton - 1984-06-17 - Hiking To Stockholm
Johanneshovs Isstadion
Stockholm, Sweden
June 17th 1984

Lineage: silver > eac > flac

Contrast clause: This is the same recording as that used by Harvest on “HRV CDR028 - Swedish Neurotica” which is on the tracker, but this sound to me closer to the raw recording - there is a longer period of audience noise at the beginning, which HRV clips off, and the audience noise is more distinct throughout, not having been processed down by HRV. This version also seems brighter and the musicians seem more “present” and less behind HRVs wall of - admittedly very well done - processing. Both are among the best versions of this tour out there. If I listen to a recording of this tour, it is either this one or the Chicago SBD (also on the tracker) See what you think.

Excellent sound, from a very low gen. This is a DFP release ... it's also a strong performance ... very nice.
Same performance as Thanks For The Ride 1 & 2, but with better sound.

Overall score 8/10
