Comments

Good audience recording that documents the first ever performance by the band in the south of Spain. It offers decent sound quality with music and vocals well audible. The output is very distant and thin, and features a slight saturation in the low-end. The band put on a solid show with very nice crowd participation. As mentioned above in the lineage, this is the '16 bit / 44.1 kHz version'. 

 

Additional notes (by www.u2gigs.com ): First U2 concert in Seville, or any city in Andalusia. Concert was originally scheduled for 29 September 2010. However, due to a general strike on that date, the show was postponed by a day. The postponement was announced on 19 August 2010. Before In a Little While, Bono asked the crowd to sing 'Happy Birthday' for his brother Norman, and the crowd responded with an enthusiastic rendition.
