Sound Quality:
This recording is a very good audience.
Comments:
Track 8 is mislabeled on sleeve as "Dirty Old Town". Track 9 is
mislabeled as "All I Want is You". There is crowd noise evident
throughout, such as audible clapping and talking, but the worst of it is
heard during the breaks between songs. I would guess the person who
taped this was near the front speakers because the music itself is
recorded quite well. That is what makes it listenable, in spite of the
crowd interference. In fact, I listen to this disc on my car stereo,
which I can't say about most other bootlegs I have. All instruments and
sound ranges are well-represented. The bass, which in my experience is
usually muted or hard to distinguish, is clear and rich on this
recording. The intro to "Zoo Station" is cut, so the song starts with
Edge's opening riffs. Also cut are Mac Phisto's speeches and phone
call. This is a fairly basic show in terms of the Zooropa Tour. The
setlist is the usual, but the band is "on" and I would say it is a good
performance. This would be a good candidate for a new collector looking
for a representative show that sounds pretty good. I think it is worth
it just to hear Bono have fun with the French language. Can you say
"mangle"?
This is the original pressing on this label.
