NOTE (from U2Live@Bizland.com run by Chris Wolf): This is the first CD-R set in a series of Lovetown shows that Darren Glen is taking the time to remaster. You can hear the usual crowd noise at times, especially at the very beginning of songs, but the audience always calms down once the song get under way.
Here are Darren's comments:
This show was transferred from a low generation TDK Metal tape...and is the result of over two weeks of restoring/remastering. It is a far lower generation than the currently circulating version of this date. This show is a very good recording but suffered from the usual problems associated with many audience recordings...namely tape hiss, level inconsistencies and swaying or "panning" of the image from center. There is a skip in the middle of "All I Want is You" and "Running to Stand Still" has lost a few seconds from its start, both on the original master and probably due to a tape flip/change. Also various different parts of the original tape seemed to suffer from sound inconsistencies...ie some tracks sounded better than others. Firstly the hiss was fixed without any side effects by Sonic Solutions. Next it was given an overall EQ and De-essed. Individual tracks were then fixed for sound and level changes/differences , and the shows image was re-centered track-by track. The encore of this show seems to be from a different source recording as it was in MONO and sounded quite different. This portion was processed with the TC Electronics Stereo Spacialiser. This unit is the best of its kind for adding stereo realism to mono recordings as it does not just invert channel phases like most cheap processors which causes problems with mono compatibility. It re-creates a far more detailed image...(it is used on artists vocals such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston to enhance their sound.) Then this part of the show was re-balanced frequency wise to match the sound and acoustics of the rest of the show. Finally the show was maximized and dithered before its digital transfer to CDR.
Overall, I think Darren did a great job with this set. The sound quality seems to waver throughout, from being clear to being a bit muffled at times, but that's not his fault. I am very impressed with how well he brought out the low end of things.
Justin here. Despite the tracklisting on the back cover, the second track on disc two is actually Van Diemen's Land and the third track is Bad. This order is the same as on my other bootleg of this show "Lovetown Melbourne - 13 Oct. 1989". Please note, according to U2 Live: A Concert Documentary, "Bad" was played before "Van Diemen's Land".
