Comments (©1999 www.u2-flom.de):
This CD is worth the money if you enjoy the early U2. This one really
stumps me. This bootleg is out of the norm, if not weird. As many of
you know, Rev. Records' THE LOST BROADCASTS VOL. ONE is pretty good.
This bootleg is made by Foam Head and not Rev. Records. Even though
the title appears to be a continuation of the bootleg THE LOST
BROADCASTS VOL. ONE, it is not. In fact, similarity between two is
that both bootlegs are from the same era. This bootleg rips off cover
art and designs from other bootlegs. The cover and the inside booklet
are the same pictures as seen in and on the bootleg THE GIG IN PHILLY.
What is even funny is that the pictures here are not as good as the
original. The back inlay is ripped of from the bootleg PICTURES IN
GREY, and again the quality is not as good as the original. Further,
the back cover says that this bootleg was manufactured by Foam Head,
but the CD its self says it is a Prontomagic Recording. The back
cover gives the number FH007, but the CD says TLBZ604. Given the
peculiarity of this, the recordings here are great! The concert from
Holland is a great performance, however, it is not complete. The band
and audience and band sing "Happy Birthday" to Larry after Track 9. At
midnight Bono remarks, "Tonight is very special, because the last
teenager, our drummer, has just become 20 years old." It is a great
(partial) concert, with an especially good version of "11 O'Clock
Tick Tock." [...]
Overall, it's a good disc and shows the type of
performances U2 gave back in the day. I have not seen these shows
elsewhere, which will allow for the minor edits on the CD. Overall,
its a solid buy for $20-25 US. Color cover. Picture CD.
This is the original pressing on this label.
