Several versions of this show are circulating, mostly FM recordings.
I've also seen an incomplete pre-FM source and a remaster by the great thir13en with
four damaged tracks, but I've never heard the complete show in good quality.
To my ears, WW1 didn't do an excellent job EQ-wise. It just didn't sound like U2.
In addition the first track is damaged because Edge's voice was mixed in much too loud,
suppressing the music. Moreover, the FM recording I had suffered from about twenty tiny gaps,
digiclicks and fades. The SA showed a big drop at 16kHz, but it doesn't look worse to me
than a lot of other FM or SBD recordings I've seen.
This show is very emotional and to me the best and most enjoyable of the Popmart era.
Worth a lot of trouble to get things right. I ran the low-end through a compressor to a
chieve a warm and tight low. I used the Steinberg "Spectralizer" to gain some clarity.
The Har-Bal EQ was used to achieve a more natural sound. All in all, it sounds like U2
playing in a stadium now: big, rich and detailed. Finally I repaired the clicks and gaps,
and glued the different parts together to a seamless show. No fades halfway the show:
if you want to burn it, apply fades where you want them with Nero.
Enjoy & play it loud.
