Additional comments: PA was hanging right over head so pretty good sound on this. The mids and vocals were a little bit low in the mix. This show is a bit shorter than the usual Elevation show, I assume because U2 had to be at Much Music studio for a 1 hour interview after the show.

Comments

Excellent recording overall on this second night in Toronto. The great sound quality makes this tape to be a good alternative to the IEM recording that is around.
