Show Notes:
First of two nights in Montreal, concert was a sell out with an enthusiastic audience. Standard setlist for previous shows on the tour and only slight changes with it being a Canadian performance.
Recording / Editing Notes:
Intro, Intermission and Interlude songs were split in to their own tracks. Any talking that occurred after a song was left tracked to that song, for the MacPhisto banter between "Desire" and "Acrobat" the majority was attached to "Desire". I edited the show to ensure each track started with that specific song.
First part of the concert was loud and near clipping whereas later it was a bit more reasonable. I found Edge's guitar to be quiet live and it came across that way in the recording too.
My reference for calculating RMS in Adobe Audition (because I never remember) is here: http://bit.ly/2ooIg4e.
