NOTE (by ademotte, distributed with .flac files): Decent audience recording from the band's first Chicago show in September. I debated about posting this, but since no source has appeared online for the first night, I thought I would put this up for the completists. It was recorded front row of the 300-level (the uppermost level, right in front of the speaker stack) so crowd noise is minimal; the fidelity of the recording is pretty good. I was a little disappointed with the sound given where I was sitting - I would probably conservatively give it a 7 on a 10-scale.

There are two warts in this recording:

NOTE: This recording favors the low end, which causes the overall sound to be a bit less clear than most audience recordings from the third leg of the Vertigo Tour.
