Transfer & remaster: yauckt - Got this tape in trade a long time ago. Sounds much better than the other source in circulation I got some months ago on U2Torrents (the 'analog 3rd version'). Sound is heavy and clearly balanced, audience is minimal, anyway a slight hiss can be heard throughout the show (I'm crap at dehissing).

Comments

I think U2 opened that night for Talking Heads, but not pretty sure. This recording is only missing 11 O'Clock Tick Tock twice, one being the opening song, and the second one as last tune of the gig.

This was the last show before going to United States to do their American début. Note this recording is the 'remastered version', as it played way too slow but that issue is now fixed. Sound is pretty good and solid, perhaps tiny muffled, but not an issue, as it is still clear and strong. The only blemish is that the tape contains some hiss in the background. It seems sound quality in this tape is far superior to the 'Analog 3rd version'.
