I orginally thought the Cork show was slightly better but the Malahide show is its equal after a few songs when the taper gets settled. It may be even slightly better then the Cork show with all the instruments perfectly balanced. If it were not for the bass drums being slightly boomy on both shows you could mistake these for pro recordings. The DVD is an audience shot affair and is a nice bonus but was shot from a distance and is slightly grainy. When the taper zooms in the bands faces are slightly soft and unfocused but the audio is very good and it is entertaining to watch…

Mid Valley seems to have realized that they can’t command crazy money for all their releases as this cost about what a typical 2cd boot goes for making it an outstanding value as boot go. All in all a nice job by Mid Valley and I hope they continue to release shows like this at reasonable prices.
