NOTE (by Trey, posted on U2 Torrents): This is a brand-new transfer from a cassette that I've had for nearly 20 years.

This is a very solid audience recording from the peak of the War Tour. Both treble and bass are unusually clear, and the crowd noise is not intrusive. I have not processed this recording in any way, because my copy of the tape was so clear and almost entirely hiss-free.

The band is so tight during this show that the songs from "Surrender" through "Sunday Bloody Sunday" move from one to the next virtually without pause. The same can be said for "October" through "Gloria". "I Fall Down" includes the extended audience singalong at the end.

Of special note: an audience struggle for one of the white flags causes Bono to stop "Sunday Bloody Sunday" mid-song.
