Comments

Overall sound is pretty clear, although slightly distant. I'd say that music comes through more powerful than vocals, with all instruments very good audible. A few individual voices are audible near the taper, screaming and clapping throughout the show, that can be annoying on a few spots, especially during the first songs. Track divisions run smooth in this source. To sum up, sound quality is pretty good although somewhat flat.

Bono added a few lines of MLK between Please and Streets. Staring at the Sun had to be restarted, as occured in Las Vegas première (April 25th, 1997).
