Comments
This soundcheck was transferred from cassette to digital mode by Yauckt, and then remastered. He used Marantz EQ, Nero Wave Editor and CD Wave. Sound quality is very good. Some pops can be heard from time to time. The Unknown Song sounds like The Unforgettable Fire era, a downtempo song with a nice riff by Edge and repetitive lyrics by Bono. There were lots of attempts to So Cruel, and finally the song made its way to the setlist, as Bono played it that night in the acoustic set. Tracks in blue (17-35) are the 22-08 soundcheck.
Tracks in white (01-16) document the 20-08 soundcheck, with good sound quality, and worthy to listen to.
