Comments

Nice recording for the last show in Los Angeles during the first leg of the tour. The gig is fantastic with a great setlist. This is a real upgrade compared to the silver called "U2 Vs. the US", as this one brings minimal crowd interference and sounds more clean. Instruments have been nicely captured and music comes through very clear and crisp. Overall sound lacks some more strength and is tiny distant, but it still is pretty good. Definitely, sounds to me more balanced. There is an edit between Exit and In God's Country, that makes the latter to cut in, missing some seconds. Moreover, this last song got a skip at 0:10 that cuts off a few seconds. With or Without You fades in with no loss of music.
