Got this one in a trade a long time ago
No idea of the gen.
The sound is clear
===There's a fade-out and fade-in between the both Sunday bloody Sundays
===October starts abruptly.
* This is what Pimm Jal de la Parra write about this concert:
"Well if I lose my voice tonight, if I can't sing for you tonight, I hope you can sing for me."
This is serious. During Sunday bloody Sunday Bono sounds as if someone is switching him on and off
by remote control. "I'm sorry,"he rasps after the song. "I think we're gonnahave to break for some time because we've come a
long way to play you the best concert of our lives, not the second best. So we must go now, we see you in ten minutes. "
The band leave the stage and return after 20 minutes.
"Well, tonight I hope we make very good friends, because this is what friendship's about. For you only, the second
time we play Sunday Bloody Sunday."It does not sound much better, and Bono strugglesthrough the rest of the show.
A sort of homecoming is dropped and they skip entire parts of Bad.
During the encore, before Knockin'on Heaven's Door, Bono thanks the audience for their understanding.
"To sing is a very intimate thing, and if you feel that you can't give, you feel very open, very naked.
So for you. we're gonna play you a song that gives me great strenght, but also a song that we never
played in front of people, never." Though not exactly true. Bono feels like he has failed
and wants to give the audience the feeling they are getting something special.
He uses his last reserves and Edge contributes a heartfelt backing vocal.
