Comments

This is an incomplete soundboard recording with excellent sound quality, taken from a MTV feed, as a satellite link was made to connect the Silverdome with the annual MTV Video Awards. While Bono was surfing the channels after The Fly, he connected with the MTV Awards show in Los Angeles. Garth from Wayne's World appeared on the screens, and talked to Bono. The singer invited Garth to drum along to Even Better than the Real Thing, so his drumming in Los Angeles is mixed live with U2's. This song was nominated for Best Group Video, and it won the award, so later in the MTV show, Annie Lenox and Peter Gabriel announced it and connected to the Silverdome again. The band had just finished their gig and they were at the backstage, to know they were the winners and talk to Annie and Peter.

Track 7 is just a bonus, recorded live in Stockholm at the Globen on June 11th 1992.
