Comments

First of two nights in Tokyo to close the tour. This recording brings a great sound captured in the 'egg dome', not the best place to tape a show. Crowd noise is minimal except for some soft clapping near the taper, and overall clarity is excellent. The final output is somewhat distant, but pretty clean and solid. It starts off a little muddy, but by The Fly the sound becomes strong and very clear. 

The Edge experienced a guitar malfunction in Even Better, and it finally works halfway the song. To me, the highlight of the gig is an agressive and long rendition of Dirty Day. MacPhisto phoned the master of Sumo Akebono to invite him for a wrestling match.
