The sound quality of the first night seems not so good.
And overall all the offered concerts still not have the same sounds as the best existing boots of Springsteen so far.
But 2nd seems to be much better yet and opening with Free Nelson Mandela is quit a historical moment.
A technical question:
Normally flac has a better sound quality than mp3. But what about a flac file converted to mp3 comparing to mp3?
^ probably the same since the "just mp3" you get has been converted from a lossless stream to a lossy one as well. If the flac>mp3 conversion is done with a not-so-good software, then the direct mp3 will be marginally better I think.
The Boss is back. Less than 24 hours until Perth. I think they might even be the best shows of the leg, these three. There's just a buzz about them. Time will tell I guess.
