Additional notes (by Sharebear):
* Show
notes:
Early Popmart show. Starting to pull things together, but
still some mess-ups during the show. Staring at the Sun takes a while to
come together, Bono turns into a major asshole during Miami, and the band
forgets how to end With or Without You. I get the feeling they couldn't
wait to end the show by the end. Nice little soundcheck bonus, with some full
songs and warm-ups.
* Recording/remaster notes:
Soundcheck was a pretty solid standard Edge feed. Did the
usual basic eq/reverb/etc. No static cleanup needed. The show had a decent
amount of static and rf noise, especially in the second half of the show. The
most interesting version of With or Without You I've heard was
unfortunately striken with a good amount of static. Did the best I could to
clean it up, but you'll probably notice some glitches. The feed is from the crew
feed, so you'll notice crew talk and instruments/vocals switching in the feed.
* Extra notes:
This recording was stolen way back in the day in the
infamous shower heist, and slowly was traded out from there. A while back it (and
later the soundcheck) was torrented, but it ran slow and sounded bad. I'm unsure
if it was intentionally traded with the speed/sound issues to preserve its "trade
value" (as was done by these lovely thieving traders by some of the European Pop
IEMs), or if the source was just a multi-gen analog tape. In either case, this
is from a much better source and cleaned up.
Comments
Brilliant mono IEM recording with a strong output, pretty solid sound. It was remastered by 'Sharebear'. Only issues to note are a few hiccups here and there that occasionally cut some seconds of the songs. Techs can be heard talking on occasion. This is a major upgrade to the other IEM-recording in circulation, that played way too slow.
The band played the very last performance of Do You Feel Loved that night. A line of Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child appeared in Still Haven't Found, and then Bono followed into a brief version of Stand by Me.
