Comments

An outstanding gig with a fantastic setlist on the second night in Las Vegas. Mary J. Blige joined the band for One, and Brandon Flowers (from local band The Killers) for In a Little While, as well. Bono added some lines of The Killers' All These Things That I've Done at the end of Beautiful Day.

Stunning audience recording overall, with a very clear and solid sound and a powerful and close capture of music and vocals. The output sounds well upfront and overcomes any bass problem. Crowd noise is minimal. These are the '16 bits / 44.1 kHz' FLAC files.
