Tape story:
The venue is a small rectangular club, narrow and long, so narrow that the stage fills its whole width
I have initially located myself in a central position about 15 m from the stage with the mic mounted on hat
The original location was optimal and you could appreciate the result in the first 5 tracks
During Michael (and later during Take Me Out) I was involved in the general (also physical) enthusiasm of the surrounding crowd and I had to progressively move me back (about 10 m) and on the right (at the same distance from the center and the side wall)
So in the last part of the recording the quality of the sound is a little bit worse (but anyway above average)
The result is imho a solid and enjoyable recording
A small flaw (just audible) at 1:13 into The Dark Of The Matinèe when a guy in front of me hit involuntarily my hat

What about the show?
It was my second Franz Ferdinand concert in five months (my recording of Ferrara 2008-07-12 is also available)
Very good performance and also a very well balanced mix, but again I think Franz Ferdinand has enough very good songs to perform for at least 1 hour and half...
The 5 still unreleased tracks will feature on "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" released in January 2009
Personal highlights: Bite Hard, 40 Ft, What She Came For, Ousiders, This Fire

Technical notes:
- The total running time of the recording was 1:15:31; I have cut last useless seconds reducing the master to 1:14:56
- I have amplified the whole recording (+2.0 dB) and faded-out the last 15 secs
- If you burn to audio CD, you will need 1 CD

Please do not sell nor convert to mp3 for distribution (mp3 only for personal use!)
Feel free to share in the way you prefer, but please share this fileset as originally torrented (so preserve file integrity!)
