Taper: Stadtfelder

Location: Recorded at the back of the front of stage area. This place was more crowded than on other Popmart shows which I have seen and for
this reason there is some crowd noise on the recording. I don't think that this crowd noise is annoying.

 

Additional notes (by the taper): There are some minor flaws ("pops"), Track 07: 3:12, 3:14 - Track 08: 0:38 - Track 11: 4:21 - Track 22: 0:50. I did some digital clones from my master in 1997 and 1998 but there has never been a transfer from this master so far.

 

Comments

Second night in Dublin, also taped by 'Stadtfelder'. This one is slightly better than the tape of the previous night, both recorded with the same gear. It sounds more solid and strong, with a clear capture of music and vocals. The output is deeper, too. Crowd noise is audible but not too distracting. Very nice crowd participation during Pride and the karaoke part, and note MLK was played this time before One.
