Comments

A very good recording of the first show of the "Conspiracy of Hope Tour", straight off the master cassette. The sound is very sharp and full. It brings pretty good clarity and powerful sound. The only minor to note is that the output comes through slightly distant. Crowd are certainly audible but generally calm down during songs. This is a nice upgrade for the common recording around that has no lineage.

Bono is very talkative tonight and his voice sounds really strong. Finally, I believe the band put on a quite energetic performance. The closing song, I Shall Be Released, was performed by U2 with all artists in the bill.
