Comments

A fair sounding tape. Overall sound is not that bad, just somewhat muffled, slightly thin, and tiny distant. Both instruments and vocals are well audible, always placed over crowd noise. The major inconvenience is a rumbling background noise, well audible throughout the concert. It's pretty similar to outdoor recordings, when hard wind affects to the mics. This drawback makes the tape to sound more muffled.

A extremely long rendition of Knockin' on Heaven's Door was played, as Bono found some difficulties to find a fan that was able to play guitar onstage properly. There are skips in this track at 02:04, 02:15 and 02:29, that cut out some seconds of the song.
