Comments

Very nice recording for the second night in San Francisco. Sound is quite clear and crisp, although somewhat flat. It has a very soundboard-like feeling, with minimal audience noise, and all instruments pretty well captured. Anyway, from time to time the sound becomes a little harsh, perhaps due to some tape degradation. However, this recording offers a very good quality overall.

About minors, I detected a skip during the first seconds of Boy/Girl that kills some seconds of the song. Edits after Out of Control that affects to crowd noise and Bono's speech, and after A Day Without Me (no major problems with this last edit). Three or four pops between songs can be heard throughout the recording.
