Comments

Awesome sound quality in this first source of the Berlin concert. This one was taped by 'wb', and it seems the consensus among collectors says this source sounds stronger and fuller than 'vortex242' master. Music and vocals come through quite crisp and close, the output is pretty solid and full, and crowd noise is minimal. The band delivered a strong set.

This concert features the first appearance of Stay (Faraway, so Close!) in the 360º Tour. Moreover, three guys from the audience came onstage to play Angel of Harlem with Bono and The Edge. They took the bass, drums and Bono's green guitar (Gretsch), and they played during the whole song, while Edge played his guitar and Bono sang. Larry and Adam kept onstage meanwhile.
