Comments

Another decent recording of the UK leg of the War Tour. Sound is somewhat muffled and distant, but clear enough to have a good listen. All in all, instruments and vocals have been clearly captured and crowd noise is just placed in the background or between songs. Only major to note has been perfectly described by Justin Cook, webmaster of 'Justin's U2 CDR Trading': "There is an edit between "Tomorrow" and "Surrender" that sacrifices the first few notes of the latter. This edit is also the beginning of a soft hiss that can be heard in the background during the last seven songs. In addition, the last seven songs seem to me to play a bit too fast."
