Notes:
Can't go too deep into the raid under the cover of darkness that yielded this tape and many others, but it should be a nice upgrade to all existing version. It's a transfer from a clone of the original DAT given out for broadcast. No edits, completely raw and uncompressed. I compared it to the rip of the 3CD Westwood One set, and this is cleaner--no additional compression, EQ or cuts. I cut the end on this as it includes about 5-10 minutes of the crew breaking down the stage over the stadium PA, but it does have the complete intro, ZooTV confessionals, and Elvis outro that's missing in many releases. And no bad DJ commentary. Without sounding too full of myself, this should be the definitive release of this show barring a remix from multitrack tapes.

This includes two version--the raw set and remastered set. Remastered isn't too big of a shift, but I did bake it a bit and tamed a lot of the stereo waffle that came with the high amount of ambience mics. I think it's an improvement, but there's a million different versions of the set, so to each their own. In any case, there's the raw set if you'd like to play with it yourself. 

I was excited when first landed this set. It was the first U2 bootleg I downloaded as a young teenager back in 1997, in glorious 16kps realaudio. And then it was the first bootleg I bought back with the KTS Zoo Europa. Listened a million times. Even after not listening to it for over ten years, I still remembered all of the bono comments and chat during the show. Nice to have things come full circle and get a pristine version of it.

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. Sometimes just running in taper circles results in nice goodies like this falling into your lap.

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.

Enjoy y'all!
