NOTE (from taper): I was fortunate enough to have recorded the funny intervention by U2's Stage Manager (Rocko Reedy) informing the audience that the show was delayed because of technical difficulties. There are some level drop outs in one channel of track 1 and 3 of Disc 1.
NOTE: This recording is an upgrade from "Vertigo: Vancouver Second Night". The clarity is much better and there is considerably less audience noise. However, the recording is a bit thin and a tad bit distant compared to most other recordings from the Vertigo Tour. It favors the high end, with Adam's bass and Larry's drums having less of a presence than The Edge's lead guitar and Bono's vocals.
The dropouts -- the entire right channel is lost -- mentioned above are very brief -- less than a second in all instances. There are actually a few on on Track 2 of Disc 1 as well.
Disc 1, Track 1 is U2's stage manager announcing
that technical difficulties (a malfunctioning "projector" that is part
of the equipment being used to film the show) are delaying the start of
the concert. The title comes from Bono's criticism of Canadian Prime
Minister Paul Martin, who had recently broken a promise to raise the government's
spending on foreign aid, before "One".
