Digital mastering and remastering/editing by: Michael Albuquerque
Remastering/editing Notes: Due to a possible short in the taper's mic cables, there were small, periodic gaps of silence at the beginning and end of each of the 3 master minidiscs (caused by moving the MD recorder before and after disc insertion). Edits were performed using Soundforge 5.0 to remove the gaps of silence without any loss of the music. Enhanced bass and treble, normalized volume levels, and manually reduced volume levels in millisecond increments as necessary to eliminate clipping (i.e., from occasional loud hand claps nearby). Used fade in and out at beginning and end of each CD. Also, I used "Desire" from "Singing Like A Bird" (same night, different recording) due to the mini disc flip during the strumming intro to "Desire." I normalized the sound from "S.L.A.B" and increased the high end to match the recordings as closely as possible although this recording has a little more ambience than "S.L.A.B."

Comments

Excellent sound quality in this tape that offers a pretty solid gig. The band was in top form after Bono feeling sick the day before. This recording features a clear and close capture of music and vocals, and it has a very nice live feeling.
