Comments

This recording documents the third and last night in Hartford (CT, USA). Note the band included Two Hearts Beat As One early in the set. Note the extremely long performance of Bad, as it lasts 14:50, full of snippets.

Sound quality is excellent, with a very solid and powerful output, and almost no audience noise. Clarity is phenomenal with all instruments well audible. Note a little warbling on MLK and October, as if something was touching the mics.

Track 8 features Bono joining onstage support band Lone Justice to sing Sweet Jane.
