NOTE (by
Fradoca, distributed with .flac files): This
double cd contains performances from both gigs that u2 played in Vancouver
during the vertigo tour on the first leg.The source of the recording is
clearly ALD.Both show were videotaped those nights as rehearsals for the
upcoming chicago nights used then for the official dvd. The original
recording itself was a decent ald with a very strong hum around 60 hz.I've
removed almost all the hum(it was very very strong!) the hiss,improved
the stereo image and channel separation,i've use some smooth dynamic compression,equalization
and added a litte bit of reverb to create some ambience. As final
process i've maximed it with L3. The sound is still a little bit
raw and maybe crunchy but these are the limitations of the source.In Some
portions of some tracks you can hear some echo. This happened because
the person responsible for the ald equipment leaved the audience microphones
opened during the start or the end of certain songs causing a delay/echo
in the sound. The song "New year's Day" it's a clear example.
I've also removed all the little gaps and audio holes between the tracks
to have a perfect and a smooth transition between them. This remastering
has been done to pay some justice to a
nice
soundboard recording.The strange thing is the fact that both cds finish
with "40". Maybe and entire ald recording of both nights exists somewhere
but who knows...By the way i hope you enjoy my release (the first of many
more). Thanks.
