Transfer (Source 1): Analog master cassette > Dak's Wave Editor > wav > flac > wav > CDR
Taper: hatnham
 

NOTE (by taper, distributed with .flac files): We paid $150 per ticket for these seats.  I was debating whether to attempt to tape the show as this would mean being very quiet (I was... mostly) and not getting caught and tossed out (I didn't).  The equipment I used recorded a special show and the quality is pretty amazing.  I advise listening to this at maximum volume. This show has been under my bed on cassette since 1987.  The generosity of everyone on this site finally motivated me to action.

Enjoy...there are more shows under my bed!!!

I choked in the beginning missing the first 2:15 of Streets.  Dak's wave editor let me splice the beginning of the song from torrent #1533.  The transition is pretty cool because it starts as Bono begins the vocals.  For those of you who downloaded #1533 you will be blown away by the upgrade.

I also missed the very beginning of People Get Ready and spliced from #1533.

I faded in Pride because I was happy with the splice from #1533.
 

NOTE: The difference in the quality of the two sources is obvious.  Just before Bono launches into “Streets” the sound clarity improves markedly as the analog master > CDR recording kicks in.  From this point forward, the overall sound is fantastic.  Bono’s vocals are strong in the mix and each of the instruments can be heard clearly.  Audience noise is minimal.

Bono, unable to play the harmonica due to his broken arm, stops “Trip Through Your Wires” to invite a woman on stage to play for him.  Afterwards he asks “Hey darlin?  How much more excitement when I’ve got two arms?”
