Comments

This is a first source of the second of two shows that U2 played on March 6th at Paradise Theater in Boston. Sound is pretty clear and crisp, very powerful, but strongly bass-dominated. Some light residue is audible in the background, as if it was recorded too loud. Note that The Electric Co. was taken by Dana from a tape with higher generation, just to offer the complete gig. Some noticeable edits can be heard between tracks 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 6-7-8 (to fit The Electric Co. in its right place), but they all contain small fades, so they sound now less abrupt. There are rough transitions between tracks 9 and 10, and 11 and 12 (edits without fading process). This source nº1 of the second set offers the complete show. There's a second source that sounds a little better, but misses a pair of songs.
