Notes:	DVD 2439; lineage: Audience recording. 4th gen. cassette Maxell XLIIS > Nakamichi BX-125 > Yamaha CDR-D652 > Sony (crap) Audio CD > iTunes > Audacity > xACT > flac
Tech Notes:	I had a big problem getting this transferred from cassette, I will never buy Sony audio discs again, spent almost four hours doing what should take less than two. Fortunately, with the help of Audacity, the recording doesn't suffer at all. shared by john52il 5/2010
J-Card Comment:	I got this cassette in a trade in the mid-80s. It says it's 4th generation, so it must be. The venue seems to be oversold, or at least the fans and security are overenthusiastic. Gloria is over eight minutes long due to the band stopping for security/fan issues. This happened at the Chicago show eight days later during the same song, as well. There is another point where the song is stopped, too. Sounds like a crazy night. The recording is very good in spite of all the hassles.

Comment

During I Will Follow. Bouncers beat up a fan and Edge has to stop before Bono yells "where the hell are we". the last time we were here this concert just began for us. we won't have it ruined now nor any mistreatment to our people. these are our people. and if anybody spoils it. we make the music. it's rock and roll not cabaret. Before Pride. Bono says that this is a charity show. in the middle of Gloria. the crowd become very violent and Bono has to calm the crowd down so that Bono can stop Gloria not once but twice. Bono asks the crowd to move back. and Gloria & 40 are both played with no problems.
