Original Taper Comments: I was fortunate enough to have recorded the funny intervention by U2’s Stage Manager (Rocko Reedy) informing the audience that the show was delayed because of technical difficulties. 

Remaster Comments: Why would someone remaster a show a second time? Well, I was AT this show, so it holds special meaning, and after switching audio gear, I realized the first remaster left a lot to be desired. That plus I've discovered a whole new tool and process I'd like to share...

I introduce you to the power of "Har Bal". A remasterer's dream. Using Har Bal, you can take any song and "harmonic balance" it to match a reference song of your choosing. The results are staggering, as this remix can attest to.

For this final version (no version III I promise), I settled on using as a reference, a track from the Chicago DVD to get the "live feel", augmented with some cleaner high-end from HTDAAB. Effectively what Har Bal does, is attempt to match the sound print of the boot recording to that of the reference. It also removes all of the harmonic imbalances, creating a sound that is enjoyable to listen to at high volumes, low volumes, in the car, on your ipod.

I'll include a sample so you can try before you buy and save your download ratio if you don't think it's worth it. I guarantee you though, it most certainly is.

And even though Canada has "remastered" it's Prime Minister, we'll still call it by the same name ;-) Track times and disc splits remain exactly as they were.

And as was the case in the original remaster...

MANY MANY thanks to MGT for his original taping effort, and for his support and approval of this remix. This recording would not be possible without his kind and generous donation to the community.
