Until there's a better/clearer/less muffled audio to come out of the Chess: In Concert event at the Royal Albert Hall in London, I'm going to console myself by listening to not the two Elphabai (Idina Menzel and Kerry Ellis) but the one Elphaba version (Julia Murney) of Chess. :)
I managed to find (don't ask me how or when) this version of the 20003 Actor's Fund Benefit Concert which must have been ripped off of the DVD boot because the clarity is... so much better :)
Anyhow, I've tossed it back online, and take comfort in my hopes that there will be better audios from either last night or else tonight's performance of Chess.:)

This Chess audio differs from the 'usual' 2003 AFA audio inasmuch as it seems to have been ripped from the DVD as opposed to the 'recorded at a seat' audio.
