If converted to lossy please label as such!! so people know what they have. I hate getting crapy Mp3 thingking they are lossless.

The details:

Mic mounted on my shoulders ( I am tall) under my fleece. I usually wear a sweater or a thin polar fleece.
This gives good stereo sound , acts as a wind screen and is very stealth. My error this time I grabbed the
wrong fleece, the one with windstop layer! I did not realise this until after the show. This extra layer caused
the mic not to get a clean crisp sound. After some time..I managed to "fix" the recording and almost as good as my 16th tape.
( I think this one would have been better if I grabbed the sweater.) I do not like to over edit my shows and the better the
original raw recording the better the total sound. I made many samples with different EQ levels and Har-bal
setting until I was happy and applied on the entire raW wav.

Used cool edit to EQ down the distorted bass and upped the hi end a tat. Then used Har Bal and compaired the analsus of my track(17TH)
to the same track I did on the 16th and made adjustments. Then used cool edit pro light his filter very very light setting, then the parabolic
EQ filter to adjust any rumble and add some mid tones and adjust a little trebble. Went back to EAC to normalize entire WAV to 90% track
splitting edit out a few claps and saved the final WAV.> ran through Traders little helper to FIX ANY SBE > Flac Frontend Level 8.

FYI
Much easier to get it wright the first time.

KNow Flaws:
Note: Whith my headphones on I can hear a few pop noises here and thier. I was not sure what was causing this until I heard simulair sound on some
of the other tapers recordings of these shows.
After carefully listened I figured it out. People are stepping on the plastic cups on the floor.

Performance

I saw the band in 1987 and 2005 and those were impressive and historic shows, but this was my favorite show that I've seen. I had great seats, just far enough back to see the whole spectacle. I actually would not have traded with anyone down front. I've seen pictures from the show and I don't see how they saw much of anything. The band's performance was excellent. They were tight and yet loose and relaxed on stage. Most important was the fact that they seemed to be enjoying themselves. The Edge was the standout (isn't he always). The show was LOUD and it rocked, great guitar solos and Bono's voice was in great shape. The stage was almost like the fifth member of the band and an outstanding asset to the show.

Sound

Pretty good for an audience recording. I've heard better, but listening to the boot I have from my first show in 1987 makes this one five stars by comparison.
Recording: "Church Audio CA-11 - Edirol R-09" - 3.5 stars

Audience

No problems where I was. The Canadian audiences are a bit of a change from what I'm used to in the US, but maybe it was the luck of my location. There are drunken jerks all over the world.

Overall

Five stars because I'm always happy to get a boot of a show I was at. Lowlights: I'm hoping for a better version and better artwork (I may make my own). Highlights: I get a copy of the show to send to my Canadian friends who went with me. Should make for a nice Christmas present.
