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.
