Etihad Stadium

Recordings made directly from the soundboard and related professional equipment. Sound is taken from microphones placed on the stage, pointed at the amplifiers and drums, plus any vocal microphones. Microphones pointed at the audience are usually also included in the mix for ambience. These recordings are usually very high quality, but can vary.

Amateur videos are usually created by an audience member using consumer or prosumer video equipment situated in the crowd. The quality of these recordings can vary significantly depending on the equipment used, location and acoustics of the venue and many other factors.
