Comments

Fantastic recording that brings excellent sound quality. All instruments have been nicely captured, and vocals as well. They all feature a great mix, so the sound is quite solid, crisp and clear. Some fluctuations in the recording levels appear at the beginning of Still Haven't Found. From this point, the recording sounds even a bit cleaner, and more powerful. About minors, there is a dropout at 0:05 in The Unforgettable Fire. A few edits are noticeable, but no music is affected, and no silence gaps were left.

Just remark that Maria Mckee from support band Lone Justice joined U2 onstage to sing in I Shall Be Released. Note also that Mothers of the Disappeared was premièred that night, and some lines of "40" were included.
