History: DAT master > CDM > CD (optical clone)
Recording Equipment: TCDD8 with OKM IIr mics
Taper: Corey Present
NOTE: This awesome recording was made by the same person who produced "Deep In the Heart...of Texas", Corey Present. Again, this recording is crystal clear with exceptionally sharp music and vocals. Again, there is virtually no crowd noise.
As the title of this bootleg suggests, the Elevation tour truly is "old school" U2. The band drops most of the bells and whistles that they had played with during the past decade and allow the music to speak for itself. In Dallas, as they did the previous night in Houston, the band trots out the overhauled openings to "Discotheque" and "The Fly". Apparently these songs will be played this way for the rest of the tour. "Desire" is played acoustically, and before the song begins Bono tells The Edge "Desire...slow...kind of slow." The song begins slowly and never reaches "full speed", resulting in a cool version of a song that is one of the fans' favorites.
Bono mentions that the first time the band played Dallas, they opened for a wet T-shirt contest. "Larry will probably remember the name of the place", he says. Bono also claims that this is the "Reapplying For the Job Tour" before introducing the band. Immediately afterwards he provides some insight into one of the band's earlier names, Feedback. Apparently, The Edge's brother, Dik, who was then in the band, couldn't tune his guitar.
