"40" [5:56] Taper: JEMS Location: Front Of Stage Source: Marcsound mics > Sony M-1 DAT Lineage: DAT master > Wavelab > CD-R master > xACT verified extraction to .wav > FLAC Notes: I realize this show exists in at least two other good versions, but the performance and my recording have always been favorites. This was the first show JEMS saw and recorded on the Vertigo tour and the impact was considerable. I hadn't felt this thrilled by a U2 show (despite seeing some good ones in 2001) in I don't know how long. Recording location was almost directly even with the front of the stage, with a PA speaker aimed squarely at me and as close as was possible given the configuration. The only distraction at all was a persistent clapper next to me which we painstakingly attempted to reduce in Wavelab (he's still there but it is nowhere near as annoying as it on the master). Have you heard this tape before? You have if you own this DVD: http://u2depot.com/u2/dvd/dvd050405.html Chrisedge had asked to use my master when he authored this single camera DVD, but other than that appearance, it has never circulated as far as I know. Perhaps this is a vanity release but hopefully some of you will enjoy this alternate source. Samples provided. Butterking for JEMS U2torrents: Torrent 3853 (by JEMSHQ)
