Mixed and produced by sharebear - This is Mix v.4

Each feed is cleaned up in Adobe Audition. Used the Ozone Isotope 3 plugin for matching EQ on the wireless, and then the Waves Q6 EQ, MaxxBass harmonics, and L3 compressor on the final stream. Special thanks to Chrisedge for allowing use of his excellent audience source. Basic fades added at the beginning and end of the show but not mid show.

Comments

Pretty good show to finish with the third leg of the tour. It's the last gig of the 2005 tour, so band and audience had fun, with lots of references to Christmas time. Both band and audience thanked each other for the amazing tour. Beautiful Day contains a brief snippet of Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home). Another snippet of Happy Christmas (War is Over) popped up during Instant Karma. That being said, usual snippets appeared here and there. Bono thanked the crew members at the end of One for their work during the tour. On the other hand, crew members went to the ellipse during the second encore break (right after With or Without You), each one wearing a t-shirt with a letter to compose a legend that said "The U2 crew would like to thank Edge, Bono, Larry and Adam for a great 2005".

Outstanding sound quality in this recording, work done by 'sharebear'. It sounds absolutely clean and powerful, and the audience source adds a nice live feeling.
