Recording Equipment - History

Pre-FM CD (Westwood One's "In the Zone") > EAC > Cool Edit Pro (crossfades and removal of commercially available tracks) > CDWave (for track splits) > MKW > SHN

Transfer: pvtuniverse - A pre-FM version of this classic show. Unfortunately, I had to remove five songs from the broadcast ("Gloria", "Fire", "October", "I Fall Down" and "I Threw a Brick") because these performances will be available on the forthcoming reissue of October. Still a good solid 47 minutes of U2 in their prime and includes "A Celebration" which wasn't performed too often (and hasn't been played in 25 years.) In addition, the broadcast did not include the first two songs that were played that night ("Out of Control" and "Twilight").

Comments

Awesome soundboard recording with stunning sound quality. This is not the complete set, of course, as explained above by 'pvtuniverse'. The Pre-FM CD contained five more tracks, that were not uploaded to 'Dimeadozen tracker' as they will be commercially available on the re-issue of October album. The last drumbeats of I Threw A Brick can be heard right before A Day Without Me.
