Trying to figure out whether it's a soundboard or an audience recording is not an easy task and had me in fits of perplexity. Second listen and it still does. I'm really not believing it's an aud because the instruments all come through note for note. If it's a straight soundboard feed, because of the crowd noise between songs, there must be an open mic on stage which captures all that? Or it's just one heck of an aud! Because of the age, though, as this is from an old tape it's not as crystal clear as a new recording would be. There is some light hiss. Still it sounds excellent. And the show itself is fantastic. I've loved every live era of The Cure but there's something about these early years that is extra special. Very cool feel here in this roller skating rink on the first night of the Fourteen Explicit Moments Tour. So it might be an aud because the vocals sound a little but distant at times but then how does the music sound so clear and loud? Perplexing, see?! Whatever it is it's a sweet listen.
