“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.”

Tracks 1-4: March 16, 1983 / Newcastle, England / Venue: Tyne Tees TV Studios (only missing 40)
Tracks 5-11: 12/18/83 / London, England / Venue: Victoria Apollo (complete show)

Comments: The Newcastle songs are soundboard.  It is almost the full set, it is missing "40".
The rest of the disc is a recording of U2's appearance at "The Big One" festival, organized by the Campaign of Nuclear Disarmament.  The sound is very flat and distant. Even worse are the volume dropouts which appear during all tracks. "40" is cut at the very end shortly after the band reappears on stage to commence with the song. The fisrt part is mint, but the rest is for completists only!
