NOTE:  This recording was transferred from a low generation cassette to CDR by Jeff Roy, webmaster of Mass U2.  Again, there is very little audience noise.  The music and vocals are just a bit distant, but still quite clear.  This is a very memorable concert, largely because of Bono's antics during "The Electric Co.".  Here's an excerpt from U2 Live: A Concert Documentary":

As usual, Bono leaves the stage with a white flag during "Electric Co." and climbs onto the balcony.  Though this stunt has always worked well, unifying the band and the audience, the L.A. crowd try to grab Bono.  Hundreds of people push to get to him, while others close by get their hands on him and don't let go.  He breaks loose and runs, but everywhere he goes people want to grab him.  Meanwhile "Electric Co." ends and the band start "I Fall Down", Bono tries to make his way back to the stage and tells the crowd to stay back.  "Julie says I want you to stay back.  Julie says, you know I'm finding it hard to breathe" he sings, but the crowd hysterically chase him down.  Bono gets desperate and motions he will jump off the balcony if they don't stop jostling him.  In a state of panic he indeed jumps 20 feet down into the arms of those below.  Screaming with excitement people below now rush over to touch him and when, out of self protection, Bono pushes someone, the guy pushes back and it almost results in a fight.  Tour manager Dave Sheehan comes to the rescue and with all his might pulls the singer back to the stage.  Their clothes are ripped to shreds and the aluminum flag pole is broken in two along the way.
