Transfer: ldb - This is an excellent, low generation transfer, from U2's show at Torhout Festival in Belgium. Short set, but it is the full set. At one point the band was forced to cut "40" short because time was running out. All their hits are there. Soundwise this is excellent recording, although it is a 25 years old recording.

Comments

Stunning audience recording of U2's set at 1983 Torhout Festival. Sound quality is brilliant with a clear and strong capture of both music and vocals which are always upfront, and crowd only adding a nice live feeling. Much better than expected.
