Show Comments:
5th show of the tour. Opening night went without any major blow-ups, but not a great show by any stretch. Second show was pretty impressive, but the 3rd and 4th shows in San Jose were a letdown. I was starting to hit my burn out period, and considered skipping the Phoenix shows. Opting to go, and ended up seeing two really good shows. I think the tour really started to click in Phoenix. There were still goofs and mistakes, but energy was high, band was loose, and everybody seemed to be having fun. Enjoy these two shows as an early memento of the surprisingly good 2015 I+E tour.

Hard to say which show was the better of the two. Bono's voice was a bit better on night two, and I enjoyed hearing Miracle Drug (likely for the last time). Band was a bit tighter on night 2 also.

--
Recording Notes:
My usual rig and setup. Had some occasional static but was able to patch for most part. There is one that couldn't get patched, see if you can find it. Counts and clicks are pretty much scrubbed, although you might hear some slight remnants. It's a pretty nice Sharebear style U2 mix. Edgar's audience was pretty good has a varying level of his recording, which sits overtop the main wireless mix.

--
As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.
--
IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, there's excellent alternative recordings out there.
Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.
--
Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.
Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.
Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.
Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself.
Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.

Enjoy y'all!

*Recording location: Sec 208, (UPPER DECK, LAST ROW)

*ORIGINAL Notes:
"the show is a phenomenon. the recording? Ehhhh. It is a fair
categorization of the event but not a fantastic recording.
the sound was pretty bass-y but the upper registers were kinda....
the word that comes to mind is 'brittle'. It sounded clear but
from where we were, kinda thin- ish and, well, 'brittle'.
I taped 5/22 from the lower bowl but that recording was overdriven
by bass and at the apex of the stage, we had lots of reverb.
So this show was a 'lessons learned' of sorts, and I had a 40hz
LowCut filter. And on that note, "Joey Ramone" experiences an
auto-filter bump at 01:09. "The Wanderer" is clipped at 4:26 - 4:29
due to me bumping the recorder against the seat. I hope you dig the
show and hope you get to see the show!"

#REMASTER notes:
Why remaster a "not fantastic recording"? Why remaster an excellent
recording! But to answer the first question truthfully, I remastered
this one because I saw potential in it. Or, to put it differently, in
my opinion this recording wasn't fairly represented as it would already
benefit from some easy volume adjustments and balancing.
The "brittle-ness" the taper mentioned was countered to some extent by
applying a generic broadband equalization from my (old-skool) Pristine
Sounds. Additional equalization was used to further smoothen this listen.

Notes: Pretty close to the roof of the arena for this one. Sound was better than I expected but had a pretty dedicated clapper to my left and her friend thought that the quite time offered by Every Breaking Wave was a good time for a phone call. The chatte is not really that loud on the recording but, people, stay off your f'n! phones when at a live concert!
