Additional comments (by Tommy K.): the funny thing about this show was that the Lemon wouldn`t open, so the guys got stuck in there for a few minutes and had to do a playback/remix if you like of Lemon again as the guys struggled to get back on stage.

Comments

Excellent audience recording with the only minor of being tiny distant. However, the output is very clear and solid, and crowd noise is minimal and placed between songs, just adding live feeling. Other minors include a small dropout 1:40 in Gone, and some bits of distortion here and there.

The Lemon Perfecto Mix (Intermission over PA) is splitted into four tracks as it didn't work properly and stopped halfway its opening phase, as explained above by Tommy K. When the band took the b-stage, Bono rapped 'lemon break down, lemon break down' right before Discothèque, and added bits of Lemon (the song).
