1980-09-12 Scarborough, England - Taboo Club (Macfistofly collection) - Audio

Received in trade just when CD-Rs were coming into style.  It may be the same as that listed on AchtungBootlegs.com as "Live From Scarborough 12.09.1980" but it came titled simply as "Taboo Club".  

Performance : Live

Source : Audience

Integral : Complete

Support : CD-R

Mics: Mono

Taper : Unknown Taper

Lineage : cassette (gen?) > unknown CD-R (gen?) > FLAC via xACT

Certainly not the greatest recording ever but it's solid and impressively clear considering its age and that it is an audience recording.  I think it's a nice add to any collection. 

Share but do not sell.

2010-09-11 - Zurick, Swiss 360 Tour GVA Remaster - Audio

U2 - 2010-09-11 - Zurich, Switzerland - Stadion Letzigrund with Bonus

- Excellent Audience Recording 10/10 -

1. Except for track 1* the tracks are exactly the same of length

   * this recording made one track of the "Intro" and "Return of the Stingray Guiter"

2. Compered several times the same song from each recording

3. The screamings/jells/whistles are exactly the same for both recordings

4. Then I normalized the original recording  up to 97% with Cool Edit Pro

5. So I compered both recordings again and both are the same

BUT THIS RECORDING SOUNDS DIFFERENT.

My conclusing is that the original recording has been "remastered" or how you will call it.

The bonustracks are from Alysha's recording, but also "remastered"

And not Unimportant, this recording is lossless

Recorded by BTT

So, the search is almost done. After 12 years a recording of the Lisboa show has finally surfaced.

This recording is not perfect because it is not complete. It misses the second part of the show.

"All I Want is You" is cut due to tape change. 

The sound is quite listenable for the conditions it was recorded. Nevertheless it is the first source to see the light of day.

And this transfer was taken from the Master Tape. 

It was a great show with a fired up band.

I want to thank BTT and Dark Circle Room for recording and providing this to our listening pleasure.

Enjoy, feel free to trade and share but please use mp3 just for personal use and ABOVE ALL DON'T SELL!!! 

Cheers

1992-09-11 - Ames, USA - ZooTV Ames, Iowa - Remastered - AUDIO

This bootleg was remastered from a DAT original.  A slight hiss in the background and a few pops here and there make it sound more like it was originally on cassette.    

Overall, the sound is very good with one noteworthy exception: a "warble" on the last three tracks of Disc 2 that is irritating but not unbearable.  

For some reason, "Until the End Of the World" was split in the middle.  

This is no big deal, however, as the transition is seamless.  "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around the World" starts skipping near the end of the song and cuts out without warning.  

Also, there is a fairly length fade out during "Pride (In the Name of Love)".  .

History:

Aiwa mic > Unknown gen. analog tape > CD-R (Scott) > CD-R (Chris) > CD-R (Mike) > EAC Secure > Goldwave (speed fix, re-index) > FLAC

Comments: 

I received both of these shows from Chris Wolf a while ago, who has told me they were from Scott Zumsteg. 

For reference, I think Chris named both of these: the first one "Rockin' in the L.I.E." and the second titled "Running to Where the Streets Have No Name."  He subsequently changed the name of the second one on his site to match Justin's, "Run Like a River," even though Justin's recordings are apparently each missing the last 2 songs. So these were/are not the ones Justin has, and are complete.

While the first night required a lot of work because different parts of the show played at different speeds, this one was even worse, as certain parts of the show had one channel much louder than the other. So I had to adjust the speed, as well as use Goldwave's pan function and some volume adjustments. For sure, I didn't get it perfect, but some of this would be hard to fix without really messing with the sound, so I tried to just pan it where one channel just seemed unnaturally louder and not have any part of the show too much louder or softer than the rest. It doesn't sound perfect, but it sounds better than it was.

This show also required several speed fixes, again because there are several cuts in the show, probably the results of tape flips and other tape transfers over the years. I also think these might have had non-linear speed issues, which would mean that as the show goes on, the speed changes, and the low quality of the recording, the various cuts (resulting in different speeds), the difficulty for me in matching up certain songs and the wear of age and tape transfers all made it difficult.  I enlisted the help of Jeff Shirkey, who helped me compare various tracks, but I tried to fine tune it as best I could. I also edited out various periods of silence and added a fades where appropriate.

This was probably done by the same taper as the previous night. This recording is probably a tad more distant, with more crowd noise (screamers) but less distortion and clipping (although there is still some of that for sure). The bass again comes through nicely, but is not as loud as the first night (probably again maybe a bit more distant). The one exception is the final song, "40," which has a much different sound leading me to believe that the taper had gotten up to leave and was recording from much further back or that it was somehow from a different recording. Like the first night, this is not quite on the level of "completists only" and it is listenable, but it is far from the best recording you'll have ever heard . So, it's not the best, but these are rather overlooked as far as shows go, and better recordings don't seem to have ever shown up.

The show also has a persistent thumping that sounds like maybe it comes from the tape or something. It's not too distracting and mostly unnoticeable, but it can be heard at times, especially in quiet parts. 

This is the second of two nights in Uniodale, NY, where U2 opened leg 3 of the Joshua Tree Tour. The setlist was the same as the next night's, with Jimi Hendrix's "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" to open the show. Following that, the Edge ripped right into "Where the Streets Have No Name." This night they did it a tad different than the previous night, with the sequencer playing and a bit of the intro before they began, but it again started off shaky as the band members got their timing together, but they again pulled it off (though they did not try this again). The rest of the set was the same as the previous night. Bono's voice, however, had more troubles this night, and he struggles in "The Unforgettable Fire" and cracks during "Silver and Gold." In fact, he mentions seeing a doctor about his voice before "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Bono has some little kid up during "Party Girl" to sing (it's kind of funny), but I can't tell why from the recording.

"I Will Follow" has a small edit. Before it cuts out for a few seconds, you can hear someone saying something, so maybe something happened to cause the taper to shut off the recorder for a few seconds. Other than that, there are just various edits, mostly sacrificing crowd noise only or just talking between tracks.

I also edited out various periods of silence and added a fades where appropriate.

This was done with I guess a non-professional recording equipment. The recording is just OK, and has some clipping especially with the high frequencies, which are probably is a result of the equipment, the recording level, subsequent transfers or some or all of the above. However, the bass comes through very nicely and these are not quite on the level of "completists only" and are listenable. So, it's not the best, but these are rather overlooked as far as shows go, and better recordings don't seem to have ever shown up.

As for the show, this is, of course, the first of two nights in Uniodale, NY, where U2 opened leg 3 of the Joshua Tree Tour. The setlist was the same as the next night's, with Jimi Hendrix's "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" to open the show. Following that, the Edge ripped right into "Where the Streets Have No Name." It started off a little shaky as the timing between the band members was a bit off, but they pulled it off. After trying this one more time the next night, they gave up and went back to having "Streets" as the opener for the rest of the tour. "Silver and Gold" was segued from "Exit," the second ever performance, culminating in a great guitar solo, with Bono trying to figure out how to end the song. "Helter Skelter," "One Tree Hill" (the first performance of each, at least in front of an audience) were also played.

The only flaws I found besides some edits was a pop in MLK,

1980-09-07 London, England - Macfistofly collection - AUDIO

Another one from way back, a very early part of my collection.  

Notable show as the band opens for Echo & The Bunnymen and the crowd is fairly unreceptive, with Bono lossing his cool a bit (sarcastic remarks, sort of freaks out shouting before the recording fades out). 

Something to remember the next time you're ignoring an opening band!

Audience recording from 1980 so not the finest specimen ever heard, but certainly decipherable and worthy of the collector.  

Download just one track for a sample if you wish, but the whole show is not that long.

Enjoy but don't sell.

U2, Hyppodrome de Montreal, 

8 Juillet 2011, first of two shows.

The gears: Creative JB3 recorder at 44 khz, Sound-Pro Mics, battery box set at 107hz bass roll-off. Normalized in SoundForge, split with CDWave, FLAC level 8. 

I think this is an excellent recording, which gets much better after a couple of songs.

Well, what to say...a fantastic concert, which matched the hype.  Glad they played so much of Achtung Baby :-)

Notice the a-cappela version of The Beatles' Rain, as a thunderstorm hit the 80 000 + crowd just as the band finished the last song.

Comments: 

Good performance by U2 at Soldier Field near the close of their 360 tour, 364 days after the originally scheduled date.  Many changes have been made to the setlist since the North American tour opened in Chicago nearly two years ago -- all but three of the new songs have been dropped from the set, and the opening sequence showcases the nearly 20-year-old "Achtung Baby," which is a big improvement in my opinion.  Overall, I thought the performance and song selection was a lot more compelling than the first leg of the tour.  The band gave a high-energy performance all the way through, fueled by a vocal sellout crowd of 60,000 -- there was not an empty seat to be seen all the way to the top of the stadium.  

The emotional highlight, of course, was "One Tree Hill," performed in honor of the 25th anniversary of Greg Carroll's death.  This was clearly tentative and under-rehearsed, but it didn't matter.  One of the coolest moments I've seen at any U2 show over the years.  

The recording is pretty good, although I have no doubt that there are better recordings out there.  I was in line with the right speaker stack about halfway back on the floor, and the sound was great.  Vocals are prominent in the mix, and there isn't too much crowd interference near the microphones.  As luck would have it, my flash card errored out and the deck shut off about 30 seconds into OTH, so the last track is patched from the source recorded by my friend standing next to me.  The cutover is pretty seamless, though you might notice that the last track has more clarity on the upper ranges and a little more crowd noise due to the audience members to his right.

A great show in Miami by U2 in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Bono talking quite a bit between songs and expressing good feelings about Miami. Most of the day the weather forecast was looking very bad for showtime, but thankfully there wasn't a drop of rain. Excellent quality.
