    The Pretenders opening for U2 on the Joshua Tree Tour in Dublin, one would assume the crowd would be extremely anxious for U2 to hit the stage but they give Chrissie and the boys a warm welcome and enthusiastic response including the calls for an encore.

    I was suspect what could be done with this one as there is a boisterous crowd around the taper and combining the outdoor venue and likely cramped taping area created some sway between the channels as well as an overall flat feel to the recording. I was able to pull out much of the audience noise and balance the channels.
    It also ran extremely slow and pitch adjusting it to the correct speed improved on some of the flatness. A few additional subtle frequency tweaks in the final mastering and I'm extremely pleased with the end result.

    Highly listenable recording of a tight set in front of a warm appreciative crowd.

    Thanks to MR for the files, samples and artwork provided....

  3. Thanks for sharing. I was at both gigs that weekend as a young 19 year old haha . Both great nights with great support bands.
  4. Many thanks fot this, one thing I noticed on the artwork it said 27th June
  5. Yes, The Pretenders as a support act. Unbelievable. They were great also in Rotterdam, Feyenoord stadium. I was there. It was my first U2 gig. Amazing but too short.
  6. You would have to ask the people who originally torrented it about that. I pay no attention to artwork as I don't use it.
