Recorded inside the stadium; we were about 50 peopele at the "blue entrances" at Bath Street. The security let us all (all 50 people!) inside the stadium
before the doors opened. The crowd was asked to wait near a toilet. Some fans includind went to the toilet. After I left the toilet the microphones and the
recorder were ready for a recording and the opening bars of "Gone" started.
This soundcheck is probably a "crew only" soundcheck. I don't think that a member of U2 took part. We didn't have a view on the stage though we were already
inside the stadium.
There are two flaws on the recording:
Track 1: 1:50 - 1:52
Track 2: 4:07
I have never traded this soundcheck before (maybe did one or two copies).
First transfer and upload in January 2010.
