Comments

An excellent recording coming from a second generation cassette. This tape brings a full sound, very crisp, with instruments and vocals well audible and pretty close. Crowd noise is noticeable, but only adding live feeling, usually located between songs. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock cuts in, and only lasts 02:54. On the other hand, there's an abrupt edit between A Sort of Homecoming and Bad, with no loss of music, but I'd say that from this point the recording plays slightly fast.

The show is excellent with the band in top form. A Sort of Homecoming was stopped due to the hysteria in the crowd (Bono says: "Could you stop screaming, this is not The Beatles or The Bay City Rollers").
