Additional notes: here was a bit of 'dead air' at the start and end of each disc, this is removed with CEP, also there were fades between 'Pride' and 'With Or Without You', after the re-indexing these fades are now in the middle of the encore break. Both discs are re-indexed with CDWAV. No sound processing was done, only fade in/out.

Comments

Very good audience recording that comes straight off the master cassettes. Sound quality places in the borderline 'very good / excellent' range, with a solid and strong capture of music and vocals, but note that crowd noise is a bit of an issue in this tape and can be somewhat intrusive on occasion. Moreover, sometimes it seems it plays slightly fast. There's a little edit on People Get Ready at 1:49 that kills a few seconds of the song.
