“My feeling is, that it is cool f or the people to share ourmusic - as long as no one is making money from the process. We tell the people who come to our concerts that they can tape the show if they want. I think, it is cool that people are so passionate about our music.”

location; on the floor row 22 left of stage,for first 2 min / caught by security / then 2nd row on floor, in front of adam on stage for remainder of show.
sound; its a good sound with bottom end, again some clip due to mics but with atmosphere,this show sounds best through good headphones and personal equalising i feel, its a loud rec so start off low @ adjust.
equiptment; toshiba cassette rec > stereo line in clip on mic,
comments; on this night,my friends came along, they wanted to see what u2 are like, they carried on loudly,were half pissed and hatched a plan to do a run for the front rows when houselights go down,we went through with it only to be caght (only 2 out of seven).i was one of them and we were taken to the rear of the arena and manhandled quite roughly by house event staff threatning us to be kicked out and pushing us,, all this was going on infront of the f.o.h. desk and caught the attention of a u2 roadcrew who came to our defence, he stopped house security and we told him what had happend, copped a lecture from him also, then magic intervenes and he escorted us to 2nd row right infront of adam,did not see it coming,i thought i was out, all of the events unfold at the start of the rec capturing entire episode. as a resault of all of this,ruined hawkmoon @ 3/4 of desire , rec with mics covered, was very lucky they did not detect rec equiptment, left it running whole time, mics uncovered at end of desire, track 3 onwards all ok, was very lucky to get this rec happening. u2have the best roadcrew on the planet ...
