Comments

Very good recording, with a great capture of the instruments and a nice mix vocals / music. Sound comes through very powerful. But this item contains a problem: taper adjusted his levels too high. With this, the high end is not very clean, bringing some distortion in the louder parts of the songs. So overall sound is somewhat harsh. Had it not been for this problem, the recording would have sounded excellent.

There is a small edit between The Unforgettable Fire and Exit. Another edit, this time more noticeable, between In God's Country and Sunday Bloody Sunday, but only affects to crowd noise. A stop on the recorder occurs just before Running to Stand Still, but nothing to worry about. One more edit can be found before With or Without You, but it does not affect to the music, only cuts out crowd noise. This seems to be the complete show, including Party Girl and "40".

A fantastic concert, with a rare rendition of Where the Streets Have No Name, without its typical introduction before the band kicks in. Phenomemal version of Silver and Gold, too. One Tree Hill is premièred in this show, and U2 also played the Helter Skelter cover for the very first time.
