Transfer: Stadtfelder

Additional notes (by Stadtfelder): It is interesting that U2 were already rehearsing New Year's Day (some months before the recording sessions).
The soundcheck was recorded inside the venue and is still listenable. It ends with a short interview with The Edge which is unfortunately hard to understand.

Comments

Good sound quality in this recording that is interesting for the fact of the band rehearsing New Year's Day. However, this song was joined in progress in the recording, it doesn't feature any vocals (it's just instrumental) and only lasts 0:43. The tape sounds slightly distant and echoed due to the empty venue, but the output comes through clear and is pretty enjoyable, anyway. The last track is an interview with The Edge for a Dutch radio.
