Comments
A decent recording that features good sound quality. All instruments have been nicely captured, with music and vocals well audible. But this item lacks more brightness and cleaness, as there is a noticeable saturation in the sound throughout the concert. Moreover, crowd noise is pretty audible, too, with individual voices and hard clapping near the taper. This source is missing a huge portion of Pride, that cuts in halfway the song, as taper had problems with the battery box. There is an edit before One, that affects to Bono's speech before the song. Anyway, clarity is really good, which makes this item very listenable.
The audience waved white and red flags during New Year's Day to make with them the flag of Poland, as this song is inspired in Lech Walesa.
