Comments

Outstanding recording for the first of two nights in Glasgow at the Scottish Exhibition Centre. This one sounds really powerful and clean, with all instruments and vocals perfectly captured and balanced. Audience noise is also noticeable, although it's usually placed between songs. Individual voices near the taper are audible from time to time. A bit of background noise is noticeable during the quieter parts of the gig, too. However, once the band are playing, music's exceptional clarity overcomes these factors.

 

Track-11 CD1 features Bono joking and imitating Barry McGuigan, a well-known Irish boxer in the era. Moreover, he announces that I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For has achieved Nš1 at US charts.
