Comments

Very good audience recording, with nice clarity and crispness. Audience noise is minimal, so the recording is quite enjoyable. All instruments have been nicely captured, so the music comes through pretty clean.

About minors, there is an edit between Out of Control and Party Girl, but no music is lost. Tomorrow cuts in, so it seems to be an edit in the original / master recording (maybe a tape flip). I would say that from this point (the whole CD2) sounds slightly lower in volume than the CD1.

That night was Adam Clayton's 23rd birthday, so the audience sing Happy Birthday for him. During Party Girl, some drinks and presents were brought on stage for Adam. While he was accepting them, Bono picked the bass up and played a long solo. A bit later, Mike Peters from The Alarm and his saxophonist joined the band onstage to do a cover of the classic Knockin' on Heaven's Door for the first the time.
