I think one thing that some of us re forgeting is that the Reno concert was professionally, and leagally recorded. Sound engineers spent a few days making sure that they captured the best sound they could.
The Albany concert you are talking about is a bootleg, illegal, audience recording. I was at that concert, and everyone was searched for cameras and recording devices.
So, for anyone to record that concert, they had to sneak in a small recording device, and then stow it somewhere where it couldn't be seen. Not the best scenario for any recording. I know in person his voice sounded just fine to me, and he was in an exceptionally good mood that night. I doubt that comes across in this recording.
That said, I don't think the Albany bootleg you are talking about is a fair comparison, sort of like apples and oranges. Just an observation, not a critisim of the talk that has been going on here at all.
I know all of us that lurk and post here will take Gords' voice in any size, shape or form, especially after this last year.
