NOTE (by Rick B., posted on U2 Torrents): This recording is unprocessed. Mistakes from the master are not edited.  One of the few I did not record. But good friend with the same gear I use, and I made this CDR master right from his master.

NOTE: This recording has been pressed to more silver bootlegs than I can count.  It is truly one of the benchmarks of the U2 bootleg universe.

The files as posted on U2 Torrents indexed multiple songs on the same track on a couple of occasions:

Disc 1, Track 1: 4th of July (PA), 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, and I Will Follow
Disc 2, Track 2: October and New Year's Day

When burning the files to disc, I used Nero's indexing feature to separate each song onto its own track.  No processing was done whatsoever.  The above tracklist reflects my revised indexing.
