David Gilmour
Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
20th March 2006

The second of two nights at the Heinken Music Hall on the outskirts of Amsterdam, recorded from the Black Box at Row 22 Seat 42 to the left of centre of the stage.

I did have a bit of a problem with my recording of these shows, in that the sound (probably bass drum) was often too much for my microphones and caused what I would call a distortion spike, like a tiny click. Fortunately I have been able to remove these tiny clicks with Adobe Audition without any detection. Some songs had a lot more clicks than others and it has taken hours to remove all these but it was well worth doing. It was at it's worse during powerful climaxes in Take A Breath, Echoes and Comfortably Numb. Here is an example to show you what I mean from High Hopes before (358kb) and after (357kb).

Musicians performing: David Gilmour: guitar & vocals, Rick Wright; Keyboards, Guy Pratt: Bass, Phil Manzanera: Guitar, Dick Parry: Saxophone, Jon Carlin: Keyboards and Steve DiStanislao: Drums.
