1. Thanks for checking. I'm kinda surprised that a relatively recent TV show performance isn't available, but this one seems to be impossible to find.

    Notes from me about editing: I used Cool Edit Pro to reduce tape hiss and manually track split from cassette wav copy. The fades as noted in the track listing were not on the original cassette, they were abrupt starts and stops with the recorder.
    I also removed some portions of silence (or background noise without performance), as well as a take of If You Wear That Velvet Dress that was so drowned out through most of the performance by wind, that it wasn't worth keeping.
    This worked out in the end however, as the two CDs clock in at just under 160 mins (CD 1 is 79:13 and CD 2 is 79:23).

    Notes from me about performance: Some of these tracks are really great versions, especially Discotheque and With or Without You.
    It's interesting to hear some of the ideas that U2 were thinking about while rehearsing. Some really good stuff, well worth the listen.

    Notes from me about sound quality: For being outside the stadium with all the wind and all the cars and all the people, this tape came out exceptionally well.
    There are times when the wind partially overtakes the music, but it's only occasionally, and doesn't significantly detract from an enjoyable listen. The background noise from people talking and cars going by can only really be heard during lulls in the rehearsals.
    I would say it's comparable to the Hersey Tapes in terms of sound quality.

    Enjoy

  5. Oh thank You for quick reply - i also have this one - i will wait, maybe someone of us had rehearsals from 22nd in his/hers collection...
  6. Hi.

    I'm looking for "Wide awake in Dublin" documentary. I found it on youtube, but sound is out of synch. It's a great documentary from that 1985 tour period.

    Thanks in advance!
  7. When U2 3 nights live was done in March I was wondering did anyone record the first 2 nights,as all I have ever see is the 3rd night fron the Sommerville theater.
    I hope someone can help.
  8. JCVertigo06, i will have a look. The Wide Awake documentary seems quite popular.

    I thought there was nothing interesting during the first 2 nights. (No live stuff, no interviews) But i might be wrong about this. Anyway I haven't seen anything circulating of the first 2 nights.
  9. I thought the 1st night was a look at the new album with Shirly Manson and the 2nd night u2 were the guest DJ`s.
    I would like to get hold of these if possible for my collection.
