Additional notes (by Stadtfelder): The taper had a photo pass and recorded only the second half of this show (even not all songs of the second half), and the second show the day after not at all.

Comments

This is an incomplete recording that documents the first of two consecutive nights in Auckland. It offers good sound quality with a clear capture of music and vocals and not much crowd interference. However, the output is bit thin, narrow. Note With or Without You cuts in halfway the song. This tape is missing the first eight songs, as mentioned above by 'Stadtfelder'.

The first show to be announced was the second concert (November 11th). When it was sold out, the previous night show was announced (November 10th), but it only sold 20.000 tickets.
