Additional notes (by the taper): Edge IEM. On Mercy you can hardly hear Bono sing, that's a pity... Edge IEM is great for some songs, for others it's better to have a Bono feed... but this is all I got.

Comments

Great job by 'ricku2' who captured the soundcheck of the second evening in Zurich. It comes off Edge's IEM. Sound quality is excellent, as the tape sounds powerful and very clear. However, note there are some interferences throughout the recording, but nothing to worry about.

It's a pretty interesting soundcheck, as we can listen to the band working on three different songs. They did a few attempts to Mercy, a song that finally had its live début that night. Moreover, we can listen to the development of Mothers of the Disappeared, a song that was played for the first time during the 360º Tour a few days earlier in Istanbul. The recording also shows on track-8 the transition between this song and Walk On. Some other attempts were done to North Star. The most interesting of them is track-11, as the song was played in full-band mode (a thing that never happened on the live shows during the two 2010 legs of the tour). Last track features Edge and Adam playing various notes and riffs.
