Additional notes (by Alif): Clappers and screamers are the only distraction, and the fidelity of the recording is excellent! This is the show where Bono talks about taking his kids to fly a kite and after it gets stuck, they just want to go home and play Pokemon.

Comments

Brilliant sound quality in this recording that offers the first of two nights in Washington. Sound is clear and strong, with a close capture of music and vocals. The only drawback to note is crowd noise, which is certainly audible around the taper with cheering and clapping. Other than that, sound quality is excellent.
