Comments: This excellent recording is a mix of a very good audience tape by f.w. and a before rarely circulated IEM recording of that night. The sound quality is excellent, but has also some weak points caused by the typical IEM clicking. A lot of it has been removed or reduced with a slight lost of quality. This is for example notable during the beginning of WTSHNN and WOWY. But still, without clicking it might be more enjoyable than with it. And without questioning it is very enjoyable recording to listen to. It is perhaps one of the best recordings from the Elevation tour. This recording is close to the quality of Birdman's ALD/AUD Mix from the night before and the famous 'Cleveland Tea Party' recording. You can clearly hear Bono's voice and Larry's drumming. Unfortunately Edge's guitar is sometimes a little bit hard to hear. Crowd noise is almost not present or at least in no way disturbing. It only comes in at the right time. The packaging is black/white which might sound a bit chaste. This is unusual but makes it somehow special. The discs come in a standard double disc jewel case. Overall very nice and noble packaging. The concert itself meaning U2's performance is great but not outstanding. Still, if you like the Elevation tour, you might consider getting this one.
