Transfer: Scott Zumsteg

Additional notes (S.Z.): Recorded with some sort of non-professional deck and an external mic that had a high and low sensitivity setting. This tape has a flaw in that at the beginning of God Part II, the taper flips a switch on her mic or deck that brings the recording level down. I normalized this out but it adds hiss to the later part of the show. This show does not to seem to have the speed issues as severly as the first night in Perth.

 

Comments

A decent recording that documents the only show where the band opened the set with In God's Country. Bono started the song with guitar and later the band kicked in. I think sound quality in this tape is a bit inferior to the one of the previous night, with more background hiss. Sound is a bit muffled although both music and vocals are well audible. The major issue occurs at the beginning of God Part II, as explained above by Scott. From this point to the end of the concert, levels got lowered and there's a lack of clarity. This muffled sound affects to the last seven songs.
