Comments

Extremely muffled recording with an incredible lack of sharp sound. Music and vocals sound far and covered by a 'mist', very distorted. One of the poorest tapes I have, and that's a real pity, as Pimm's book 'U2 Live' rates this show as an 'excellent one'. As Petergood stated in his review: "This concert is meant only for the compulsive collector who wants one of everything...somebody just like me...this has been a rare concert for a reason, I suppose...sounds as if it was recorded with the mic under several layers of clothing, with the taper sitting in a bathroom, in a building across the street from the theater, during a heavy snow storm. You can hear Bono mumbling words... the songs are definitely recognizable".

Last two songs of the show are missing: 11 O'Clock Tick Tock and The Ocean. October is splitted into two different tracks, and Fire cuts out at 02:25.
