“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.”

Comments:
This is a very cool bootleg. It's a very strange type of soundboard. It's a feed from Bono's earpiece, so for the most part Bono's voice is mixed high. Sometimes you can hear techs talking in it, but it's not at all distracting. Minimal audince noise throughout the recording. It's fast becoming one of my favorite Popmart boots (I think it's better than the Mexico City boots). Package is somewhat lacking, just a color insert and back. Lemon for the most part is cut, just the last minute of it is in the beginning of Discotheque. The bonus tracks are nice, since One from Nuremburg is cut off (right after Bono makes a nice speech), so they added One from another earphone soundboard souce. However it's not quite as good soundwise. A lot of "cracks" in the recording. The Edge's speech before Suspicious Minds is GREAT! All in All, I highly advise this set if you can get it.
This is the original pressing on this label.
