14-05-83, Philadelphia Tower Theater. This show was transferred from tape to CDR.

Sound Quality:
Disc 1, tracks 1-2, Disc 2, track 1 (start): Poor/fair audience recording with huge sweep.
The rest: Fair/good audience.

Comments:
Quality wise, this show is marred by a huge flanging sweep during the first 2 tracks on disc 1 and the beginning of disc 2. After that the quality picks up, the sweep is gone and becomes quite good. At this stage of the War tour U2 were still finetuning their US setlist after abandoning their UK style setlist. The main problem seems to have been were to put the I threw a brick/A day without me combo. Eventually it was just dropped, but here it's still there between Gloria and New year's day.
