01 Bad - instrumental, faded in - (3:54)
02 jam: "Bad" sequencer, checking the drum sound, "Gone" guitar (4:50)
03 Gone - Edge on vocals - (5:42)
04 Mofo - Edge on vocals - (4:48)
05 jam: guitar ("Where The Streets Have No Name", "Please", "One") (5:27)


Recorded outside the stadium at the "red entrances" at the Lansdowne Road. Crowd noise is sometimes annoying. The sound quality is not good but 
still listenable.

There are some vocals on "Bad" and I am not sure if it is Edge or a fan who sings those lines (it was sung well).

This soundcheck includes at least one member from U2 (Edge) and for this reason it is special. Mostly the soundchecks were done by the technicians only.

Recorded inside the stadium; we were about 50 peopele at the "blue entrances" at Bath Street. The security let us all (all 50 people!) inside the stadium
before the doors opened. The crowd was asked to wait near a toilet. Some fans includind went to the toilet. After I left the toilet the microphones and the
recorder were ready for a recording and the opening bars of "Gone" started. 

This soundcheck is probably a "crew only" soundcheck. I don't think that a member of U2 took part. We didn't have a view on the stage though we were already 
inside the stadium.

There are two flaws on the recording:

Track 1: 1:50 - 1:52
Track 2: 4:07

I have never traded these soundchecks before (maybe did one or two copies).

First transfer and upload in January 2010.
