Comments

Another stunning recording from the fifth leg of The Unforgettable Fire tour. Again, clarity and brightness are both phenomenal, with a great capture of the instruments and vocals, which come through very clean and powerful. The recording starts saturated, but improves in a pair of seconds, time used by the taper to adjust the levels. The only issue to remark is that some guys can be heard arguing a bunch of times throughout the concert, due to "vision problems" on the floor, and it can be annoying sometimes.

Tracks 3 to 11, CD2, are just bonus. Last song is a live performance with an unknown date. The other songs are a nice broadcast of an October-tour performance.
