Disc 1: Afternoon Rehearsals

Bono wasn't present for the afternoon rehearsals. 

notes: Tintin wasn't able to start the recording since the very beginning of vertigo, that's why it only starts during the stories for boys snippet, as we weren't near our taping position (actually, we were wandering outside the stadium, waiting for stuffs i don't recall, or just drinking a beer at 'the corner' pub...). A great run followed to reach the fences where these rehearsals were taped. There's a one second dead air at the end of vertigo. During UTEOTW, you can hear a quite old drunk guy that enjoyed us a large part of the afternoon... There's some GSM interfences during intro of LAPOE. The beginning of Crumbs is missing : there's was a long time of inactivity, we waited a little bit then decided to move to another location as nothing was going on. Rehearsals started back around 2 minutes after we left our taping location. Another big run and tintin was able to resume the recording. (It's a pitty : it was crumbs that suffers :-( ) After Crumbs, for the riff track, PA system was reduced so the sound is not as powerful as the rest of these rehearsals. 

Remastering notes: Originally, recording was full of cracks and pops (around 9250), it was caused imo by the HEAVY bass the PA of the vertigo tour gives to our ears. i fixed this as best as i can but some cracks remains when the volume was very loud. Used Ejay music Cleaning studio to give better definition to every instruments and the most important, try to reach the wonderfull level of bass present on sousous's recording of the brussels show. I removed silent parts here and there, adjusted volume for the quiet parts to be able to hear conversation. A slight hiss is sometime hearable during these quite parts. In overall, sound quality is very good for a soundcheck. Hopefully, our tape position was full of other tapers, so everyone was trying not to shout and clap and all that. I saw 2 other guys taping the audience rehearsals and at least 2 earpiece tapers. So there's a possibility that one day, this rehearsal will appears as a complete recording. 

Thanx to a lot of people for this great day: Tintin for taping and beeing so quite while taping :-D ,Cou always a pleasure to see you, JujuU2 for logistic, Jean-Marc for his precious informations, special thanx to the drunk guy with tie and jacket : keep on drinking man, you rules !!! thanx also to BastHard for his MD player. 

Disc 2: The Evening Rehearsals

remaster notes: Original recording was even more cracky as the afternoon rehearsals (around 14500 clicks detected), i used the same way to remove them as best as i can.  Right after City of blinding lights, people can't contains themselves and starts cheering :), audience is more present songs after songs, i reduced level of cheering due to the brutal peak level fluctuation of the general volume it caused.  Gave clarity to the ensemble with ejay cleaning studio.

notes: Once again, we missed the beginning of the recording, wandering somewere i dont' remember (or maybe again at 'the corner' pub...). There's a very small blank at the end of new year's day.  The rehearsals ended at 10 pm to not disturb the neighbourhood.  bono thanked the audience after SYCMIOYO.

Enjoy! Yauckt
