Comments

This is the second of three nights in Hartford. Coming from the master cassettes, this is a really great recording, one of the topping items of 'The Joshua Tree Tour'. Sound is powerful, very clean and crisp, with music and vocals well upfront. Crowd noise is minimal. However, during Streets you can hear the taper adjusting the recording levels, and someone screaming, but this is probably the only blemish about audience noise during the whole recording.
