The Concert for NYC cd

[JVNNSJSP@aol.com]

I just picked it up today and gave it a listen in my truck. Having already 
seen the video several times, I was very impressed with the quality of the 
recording in cd form. Very loud and clear. Even the Backstreet boys sounded 
good.;) (Sorry). Anyhow, I patiently played through it to compare The Who to 
the others. I was not disappointed.

Some highlights and things that I noticed at first:

John Cusak's very accurate introduction is on there at the beginning of the 
set. 

I got chills when Adam Sandler said "The Who re-unitah" and the crowd erupted 
more than  at any time previous.

Pete's guitar is very prominent. You can hear him OVER the synth tracks, not 
under.

John's Bass is very prominent as well! Same as above.

Roger's voice sounded like a lion.  (take that, you English bouyee) ;)

Roger did get some help with his scream on WGFA where his voice cracked too 
high. This was edited. He is loud enough at the beginning of WAY, unlike 
live. 

One thing that was different than on video (and on the boot that I 
downloaded) was that the crowd wasn't near as loud as they were live. That to 
me was one of the best parts of their show.

Zak sounded a bit muddier than I would have liked, but that is certainly not 
HIS fault.
