Comments
A gem of a hard-to-find item in fantastic shape. This show is even not mentioned in U2Live Book by Pimm Jal de la Parra. Of course, not the same gig than the one that documents the "Garden of Remembrance" bootleg. Setlist is different and more polished, and moreover you can hear Bono before Another Day telling something like "we have played here before, about two months ago". This perfectly matches with the dates of the two Tullamore recordings I have.
Sound is somewhat harsh, but still surprisingly good for an audience tape of the era. The recording starts off a bit muffled, but after some seconds, sound quality improves and remains quite good and clear for the rest of the concert. The "Garden of Remembrance" brings the early version of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, called Silver Lining. Now the band plays the right 11 O'Clock, with some drumming not identical to the standard version, but the song is more polished. The same occurs with Touch, as tonight the band plays a rendition almost identical to the b-side of the 11 O'Clock Tick Tock single, and two months ago in this same venue, they played Trevor (the early version of Touch). If I am not wrong, this is the first show that documents The Electric Co and Things to Make and Do, both almost identical to the standard versions if we talk about music, but different lyrics for Electric Co.
A great recording that comes from the analog master, and that brings a nice mix of old non-album songs with more known songs (songs that appear on the Boy album, or just known b-sides such as Touch or Things to Make and Do).
