Original notes (by the taper): best show of the tour so far... just went to 4 shows in a week, and this one blew them all away! What a crowd!
I had a great spot on the floor, virtually no crowd noise on this recording... a little bassy at times, but very clear. I wanted to try and EQ this because I think it has "potential" but I am sharing the file as is because I would love for someone who really knows what they are doing to give this a crack at a remaster... There is a small gap at the end of Crazy Tonight for a disc swap (extremely fast if I do say so myself)... I did not want to record in mono so I had to do it, didn't miss anything really.

This version notes (by the taper): After learning that my sound card used for the original transfer of this recording was faulty, I wanted to see if a new transfer to a different computer would have any positive effect on this recording... I am VERY happy to say that it did indeed. The original transfer was very low volume, and to my ears did not capture the full sound as it is on the master MD's. With the direct line in to Samplitude for the capture to hard drive, the volume level was instantly better. All I have done to this recording is a simple 100hz high pass filter to lessen the boom and normalize to 0db. I was very hesitant to upload this because there are already a few different mixes out there... after figuring out I had a problem with original transfer, I figured folks would like a better offering.

Comments

First source of this show, taped with 'Core Sound Binaurals'. Note this is a second version of the 'CSB source', as the first one offered a very low volume level. This fresh transfer (second version) features excellent sound quality, so it represents a major upgrade to the original version. The output is pretty clear and full, and music and vocals come through well upfront. Crowd noise is minimal. In my opinion, this is the best source of this concert in circulation.

As mentioned above by the taper, disc-1 cuts out abruptly at the very end of the remix of I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight, missing the last seconds.

In a Little While made its début on the second leg of the 360º Tour. A guy from the audience sang the chorus of People Get Ready during the snippet that Bono did on Sunday Bloody Sunday.
