NOTE (by Mike Duchek, posted on U2 Torrents): This was originally seeded by Scoliver, and this is the same except I fixed the speed, which was too fast.

Sound quality is very good, but probably not quite as good as the other shows he taped in November (I think he used a different mic), and there is more audience noise. Nonetheless it's very good.

For those that haven't heard this show, it is not notable for its set, about as ordinary as it gets for this leg, but for a couple other reasons: first, it is Halloween, and in what you might call a very ZOO TV moment, Elvira makes an appearance, I assume on the video screens. For those in Europe, or even in the USA, who don't know who Elvira is, look her up on Wikipedia (I added a note about her appearance here to the page, and noticed that she made the same bad joke about running for President in 2006 that she did here in 1992). In any event, it's a little exchange that makes you groan when you hear it, but it's one of those things that is so bad it's funny. This is also Larry's birthday, and Elvira has the crowd sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Larry makes the same joke he did nine years later, that he felt like he knew everyone in the crowd well enough to borrow money from them.

Bono messes up the words to "Tryin'" a little, and does the same with "Angel of Harlem." He then does an early rendition of "Redemption Song," and it comes out sounding a bit awkward; the two performances of it that followed this show (in my opinion) were, however, brilliant.

Otherwise a great era for the ZOO TV tour, with some of the best performances of "Until the End of the World."
