Comments

Pretty good sound in this third source of the Gelsenkirchen concert. Music and vocals come through very clear and strong, and there's not much crowd interference. The main drawback is that the output sounds slightly harsh, and add the tape is somewhat boomy on the bass on occasion. Moreover, it is slightly distant. However, this recording is superior in terms of sound quality than the source called 'Veltins in the Moonlight', but also note it is not as good as the silver 'Auf Schalke 2009' or Stadtfelder's master ('CSSC + Sony TCD-D7' source).

After Elevation, Bono and the crowd sing again the chorus of the song. The Edge experienced problems with his guitar during Vertigo, so the band had to start it anew.
