Show Notes: I wasn't there, but folks I know that were there said this show and perhaps Chi2 were the best of the Chicago stand. 

Recording Notes:
I didn't tape it, so can't give too much details. Sounds very clearly to be a Bono stereo IEM mixed with an audience. I heard the original clips, and it wasn't as horrible as I expected it to be, but still sounded subpar to me. Lots of nearby clappers and sibilance (harsh -ess sound on vocals). Bono likes his high-end in the cans. Whoever did the original mix also cranked the limiter too much; not much that can be recovered off that. Dynamics are a good thing, people! Sounds like it was aligned and basic levels set--the quieter songs sound like a different IEM to Aud ratio compared to the louder songs.

Now, this still not a great recording in my opinion. But with a little spit and polish, I do think it's a bit better. I'd give the original a C- grade, while I'd give it a B- now. Some say I'm a tough grader. Work done...zapping loud claps, de-esser (but sometimes excessive sibilance left some distortion), low end boost, mono out the low-end. 'Remastering' this show also breaks some of my usual protocols, particularly working on a show that has already been mastered. Naturally, it'd be better to go to the original sources sitting in the closet and do my own mix. But since this one is already out there, maybe put a little polish out there to smooth out some of the harshness without a ton of work. Then I'll go back to my other projects. Anyways, hope its an improvement for folks. If not, delete it.
Thanks for deffu2 for picking up a copy, sharing, and giving the go-ahead for the remaster. No restrictions on this, except don't sell (amusing considering the source).
