Bel Canto
February 23rd, 1998
John DEE stage (Rockefeller), Oslo, Norway
Taped & transferred by Bull

Lineage (according to my notes from back then):
noname stereo mics > Sony MZ-R30 minidisc recorder. Sony MDS-JE500 (S/PDIF) > Soundblaster Live! sound card > WAV. Small edits in Soundforge XP 4.0. Burnt to CD via CDRWin from a single file, october 1998. Extracted from CD-R via EAC october 2010 > WAV > FLAC level 6.

As I couldn't really find my master minidiscs, I found out that I might never get to make a new and improved transfer of this until now uncirculated show. So here it is, a little lower quality than one could have wanted - but at least it's out in the open now.

This is a press/guests (invited fans) release party show to promote the long awaited "Rush" album of 1998, held at John DEE, which is the "basement stage" of the more known Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo. The audience is normally crowded when you reach 300 people (it's supposed to have a capacity of 400 now), but I guess at this point there were somewhere between 400 and 500 people present. So the sound is kind of "crowded" and not from the best recording spot.
