Comments

Very nice sound quality overall. It's a pretty enjoyable tape with a clear capture of music and vocals, and a quite strong output. On the other hand, there is a bit of crowd noise around the taper (with a noticeable screaming girl), and the output comes through somewhat raw. However, this recording represents an upgrade to the other that was on circulation, as the other had edits in almost every track to save tape space and sounded like a higher-gen cassette transfer. Note that there's an edit right before Bad.

This concert documents the first time U2 played in a sold-out arena on their own.
