NOTE (by hatnham, distributed with .flac files): A very good upfront recording of this high energy show.  The sets were very predictable on this tour but they did play "Knockin on Heaven's Door" instead of Party Girl.  Security was in our section during Wire so Dave had to hide his mike which muffles the song.  This recording has been uncirculated and under my bed for the last 20 years.  Enjoy!

NOTE: The recording cuts in during the guitar solo before the last verse of “11 O’Clock Tick Tock”.  Not surprising given it was transferred to CDR directly from the master tape, this recording features excellent sound quality and clarity.  Bono’s vocals feature prominently in the mix and all of the instruments can be heard clearly.  A few yelling/screaming/cheering fans are audible on occasion, mostly between songs.  However, one male fan in the vicinity of the taper is particularly excited about hearing “I Will Follow”.  Overall, this is an excellent recording.
