Comments

Very good soundboard tape. Sound quality is stunning with a powerful and clear capture of the instruments and vocals. Compared to my other tape of this show (the so-called 'U2 - Live Manchester Apollo Theatre'), overall sound is crisper and offers a better mix although Bono's vocals and the bass still sound tiny louder. Crowd noise is virtually non-existent and there is no hiss in this version (probably it has been mastered from a lower gen cassette). New Year's Day has been edited and you won't notice any skip nor dropout, but it is missing a good portion of the song and only lasts 2:07 (it seems the master tape had its flip in this song). Note this tape doesn't offer the complete show (it's missing the opening song - Out of Control), but it is an upgrade to my other recording of this show in terms of sound quality.
