“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.”

Good to very good audience.
Comments:
A few songs, such as "Hallelujah," "MLK," "Stand By Me," and "All I Want Is You" are shortened versions of the originals (meaning, U2 did not perform the entire song as was originally recorded in the studio). The back of CD case reads "These concerts were originally recorded on tape. The taped shows were re-recorded onto a computer as a .wav file. The .wav file was divided to create individual tracks. Each track was filtered and amplified to achieve the best possible sound. The .wav files were then recorded onto these CD-R discs using the "Disc at Once" mode. - JJH" These CD's are probably the best available of any of the Chicago shows. The high end sound is very crisp and clear (sometimes a little too cutting), and the audience doesn't get too overwhelming. The only real problem is that there is almost no bass in the mix, which is why I am a little reluctant about giving these a "very good" rating. If you don't care much about bass, it won't bother you, but if you like to crank up the bass, this recording might not be for you.
This is the original pressing on this label.
