comment: As a rehearsal for the upcoming filming of the 1993-11-27 Sydney concert for
official release, this show was filmed in its entirety. Before "Even Better Than the Real
Thing", the band conducted a satellite link-up to the backyard of a contest winner.

This was remastered by Fradoca and shared on U2T a while back. Here are his notes...
Lineage : Hifi Vhs-1->Cdr(eac)->Pc(eac)->Fradoca remastering->Flac
"This is a remastered version of "Achtung Adelaide!".
I've tried my best to obtain a goood sounding version of this show.
Clicks hiss and some saturation were the main problems.
There are couple of little flaws in "until the end of the world"
and "love is blindness" that i was not able to recover.
I hope you like it. I consider this for sure an upgrade over
any other version of this concert."

--PLUS-- (Dquan81 2nd remaster)
"This dude did an absolutely phenominal job remastering this show. I've had a few different
versions of this show and his was by far the best! The Zoomerang leg of the Zoo TV tour was
my favorite leg of the tour with all of the Zooropa material that was added. So along with the flaws
in "Until the End Of the World & "Love Is Blindness", I also found a couple of flaws in "Dirty Day" -
one in the beginning and one near the end. Either Fradoca or the person who had the original
transfer cut those flaws out completely, leaving a skip in the song. Since it's my favorite
Zoomerang show, I had to see what I could do about these imperfections so I sat down and
went to work on the flaws. I cut, pasted, mixed and edited and when all was done, the songs flow
seamlessly now. Hope it's cool that I share this. Thanks to Fradoca for his excellent remastering!"

VGRM NOTES:
OK, so first & foremost...mad props, much respect & many thanks to Fradoca for his amazing work
on putting the best version of this together & his remaster of it. Also to U2T user Dquan81 for his further
fixing of some problems that still existed (nice work!!). Now we come to the third remastering of this
beauty...why?? Why did I feel the need to remaster something again that already sounded so wonderful??
Well, when I opened this up in WAV & checked it out, I saw there were still a few things wrong with it that
I could not live with & so I fixed them & felt the changes were enough of an improvement to share with
everyone again. I hope no one feels that I am stepping on their toes by doing so. The first thing I noticed
is that the whole thing was unbalanced throughout, being left-channel heavy to the tune of around 1.10db
on the average...this was a little different in places the way it was off, but I used a couple audio tricks to
get it all beautifully balanced (changes made during silnces between tunes that one will never find) & now
it makes such a great headphone listen as well. Then I felt it needed just a bit more bass in there (I don't
know about y'all, but I like Adam's bass to be just as equal in the mix as Edge's guitar, Larry's drums &
Bono's vox). I experimented with a bunch of different EQs until I found one that was tasty enough without
making the bass overpowering, etc. I think it is truly delicious now, but of course, this is my remaster--HA!!
After all that, I combed through the entire show with open ears looking for any more problems that it may
contain & found & removed around 17 more clicks/pops, etc. I only removed the ones that could be
removed completely without any residual noise &/or making them worse. For instance, there is still
a click at the beginning of "UTEOTW" that just could not be fixed without making it have a much more
noticeable 'pop'. That click happenes during a loud guitar & drum hit anyhow & can barely be heard
unless one is really looking for it. Dquan81 did a great job fixing the problems he mentioned in "UTEOTW",
"DD" & "LIB"...I found a couple more that I fixed, but an excellent job nonetheless.
I also re-tracked the whole show to better (IMO) fit the real start of tunes & make "Zoo Station" its own
track instead of including the 5+ minutes of the ZOO TV intro stuff (that is its own track now as well).
So yeah, as you can surmise, this was a super anal retentive remastering of this killer show, but that
is just how I get...so much great work had gone into bringing this beauty to the masses & I felt it just
needed a little more to go the full monty. That 'little more' took me 4 full days to complete, but here it
is & what we have now is a super clean & balanced version ready for headphone listening &/or
cranking up on your favorite system. Hope you all dig it & I cannot forget again to thank the original
efforts of boath Fradocs & Dquan81, without whom I would not have even bothered with this.
Cheers!!
