Show Comments:
From reports of folks that attended multiple 2018 shows, this was the cream of the crop. Once they inserted the Achtung Baby heavy redo of set 1, the tour mostly stopped feeling like a lame imitation of the excellent 2015 tour. Too bad about the first 2/3rds of the tour though...
High energy performance, even compared to other shows of the Dublin run. Very nice representative show of 2018 if you had to listen to just one.
Recording Notes:
Show is a lovely exercise in redundancy among tapers. There not just one, but two card write errors among the three tapers. But multiple feed coverage and collaboration is great in taping, so able to (mostly) seemlessly piece together a full set. Full credit goes to the taping gang.
Counts are scrubbed, but you might hear the occasional artifact. Clicks are mostly scrubbed, although there will be a bit of a remainder in sections. It's always a compromise, and I'd rather remove 90% of the metronome and leave the music intact instead of removing 99% of metronome and damaging the music.

Special thanks to the tapers for all their hard work!

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, there's excellent alternative recordings out there.
Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice. Or maybe lug in recording equipment and make an alternate mix of your own sources.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.
Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.
Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.
Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. This includes Youtube! I may want to just torrent/share it there myself.
Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say yes. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.

Enjoy y'all!
