Comments

I got this item from Karen DiDonato, webmistress of www.tradeu2.com. As she told me, this is a low gen tape transfer. Overall sound quality is very good, and if it hadn't been for some flaws (see below), it could border with excellent audience. Note a bit of hiss remains in the background. Talking about the mix, bass is very prominent (getting saturated a couple of times).

A bunch of plops can be heard (02:52 in I Will Follow, 0:03 in Gloria, or 01:50 and 02:03 in With or Without You). There's a rough transition between Bullet the Blue Sky and Running to Stand Still. Moreover, there is an edit between Exit and In God's Country that "eats" the first seconds of the last song. A few ticks can be heard during the last seconds of Trip Through Your Wires (probably due to tape transfer into digital mode). Saturation is more evident during Bad, which also has a pair of static bits, and a skip at 06:13. There is an edit after Pride that only affects to crowd noise, and some other edits before With or Without You, and before "40", too, but no music is lost. Crowd noise is audible, but calm down during songs, with individual voices cheering from time to time.
