Which of these two audio samples sounds better to you? (From last night's Cure show)

I <ahem> happen to be in possession of a recording of last night's Cure concert. Below is an unaltered sample of the recording, taken from "Boys Don't Cry":

Then we have a slightly tweaked version to boost the bass. For those who care about such things I've increased the 63 Hz, 80 Hz and 100 Hz bands by 16.6 dB each.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

If you need an offsite backup of that whole recording... let me know, I'd be happy to keep it safe for you! ;)

3. hmm... hard to say

I think maybe the second one, but that's just from listening over these crappy laptop speakers. Maybe I'll listen back on headphones.
