Comments

As occured with the tape of the first visit of the band to Newcastle during the War Tour (March 1st 1983), sound is a bit muffled. The recording lacks some of the dynamics and seems to come from a high gen cassette. Audience noise is minimal, and only cheering is audible between songs. All instruments are well audible, good captured, but Bono's vocals sound a little distant. Tracks divisions are seamless. Sunday Bloody Sunday contains a skip at 0:10 that cuts off a few seconds of the song. A bright moment happens when the crowd sing Amazing Grace before "40".
