Comments

This is the second night at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, and last gig of 1981 (the year where U2 played a bigger number of gigs). The recording features very good quality, with a good capture of the instruments. Overall sound quality is pretty similar to the tape of the previous night, but maybe slightly more distant. A small edit can be found between October and I Will Follow, that only affects to crowd noise.
