Comments

This is a second audience source of the last concert of The Joshua Tree Tour. One of the best gigs in U2's career with a strong and outstanding performance. The setlist offers a couple of surprises in the setlist. Sound quality is pretty decent and better than the recording of the same taper the previous night. The tape offers good clarity although it is tiny muffled and slightly distant. There's a bit of crowd noise, too.

There's a silence gap from 0:31 to 1:21 in One Tree Hill, as if the mics weren't connected. There is an edit after In God's Country with no loss of music. Another one occurs after Bad, but this time The Star Spangled Banner cuts in. There is another after Mothers of the Disappeared with no loss of music, either. And the last one happens before "40" affecting to a speech by Bono.
