Comments:
This bootleg doesn't contain any hiss or tick as expected from a vinyl source, so I am assuming that it was taken from the master tapes, but it is possible that the last two songs were from taken the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' video. Most of the tracks on this bootleg are on the official video release 'Under A Blood Red Sky.' I tried compare this CD to the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' video and they both sound exactly alike. This means that this bootleg is edited just like the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' album was. The sound quality is almost exactly the same (although I prefer this to 'Under A Blood Red Sky'), but this one has a richer bass drum giving it a more "live" feel. The audience volume levels are exactly the same without sacrificing any sound quality. Much has been said about the COMPLETE BOSTON TAPES, and although I haven't heard that bootleg yet, I'd have to assume this is better simply because this sounds even better than 'Under A Blood Red Sky!' This bootleg is probably hard to find nowadays. It is definitely worth the price, though. The best pre- Joshua Tree bootleg out there bar-none (in my opinion). I can state that it is the full show and it is of excellent quality, but there is one lingering question. "I Threw A Brick Through A Window" and "A Day Without Me" actually come before "Gloria" on the set list, but not having the CD in front of me, I can't confirm the actual order. Can anyone else? This can be found in a shorter edited version that is more polished on the CD entitled SECONDS.
This is the original pressing on this label.
