Comments

This is the best of three recordings I own of this concert. Sound quality is nice for one of the most hard-to-find items of the whole ZooTV / Zooropa'93 tours. I've seen this recording listed in other websites as "VG audience", and it really borders with it, but it lacks more punch. Moreover, it also lacks more clarity and crispness, overall definition, maybe due to the heavy rain falling that night in Oviedo, in the north of Spain. As Justin Cook reports, some noise reduction has been done to help clarity, what caused some background noise staying under the music. Music and vocals sound slightly distant, and somewhat flat, perhaps due to the rain and the stadium acoustics.

About minors, Satellite of Love fades out at 02:17, maybe due to tape flip. The very first seconds (5/6 seconds) of Pride are cut off.
