Tape story:
Thanks to MLK for his suggestion (and for loaning his backup mics and battery box), I have located myself in a central position on the left side of the stage about 25 m from it with the mic mounted on glasses
I think it was a good choice because I always had a minimum 1-2 m distance from other fans and this had a positive effect on the quality of the recording
The quality of the sound is very good and I am very proud of this recording

What about the show?
It was my sixth U2 concert in 24 years (Milan 1985 the first one, and the first U2 show in Italy!) and the first in 12 years (Reggio Emilia 1997 the last one)
Extremely good performance
Personal highlights (a very difficult choice): Breathe, Magnificent, Desire, Unknown Caller, The Unforgettable Fire, Walk On

Technical notes:
- The total running time of the recording was 2:14:57; I have cut the last 40 useless seconds reducing the master to 2:14:15
- I have amplified the whole recording (+4.0 dB) and faded-out the last 10 secs
- A possible microgap could have been generated by the recorder since Edirol R-09 do not support track longer than 2 GB.
For this reason I have manually split the recording at the beginning of IGCIIDGCT (I have used the very same point to split tracks 14 and 15).
So, if you burn to audio CD, I recommend also to use this point to split CD1 and CD2 (CD1: 1-14; CD2: 15-26)

Performance

U2 always sound great in Italy.Every tour some of their best shows are perfomed there.The first night was amazing,and so is this show.The audience,as usual in Italy,are great.ISHFWILF is a fantastic singalong..the fans of course keep the song going strong.Magnificent,No Line,and the surprise Electrical Storm are great.Stuck In A Moment.... acoustic...is a fine addition.

Sound

A solid 4..a very good audience recording. I enjoy blasting this one.
Recording: "Edirol R-09 - CA-ST11" - 4 stars

Audience

Great..but a notch below the previous nights audience.They always sing loud and in the right places.

Overall

I like the setlist alot here.I give this show an extra half star for that.Electrical Storm makes a rare showing.They played this track night 2 in Barcelona,and again here on night 2.But the song was played only one more time on the European leg.Great show..the crowd,the tunes and the band make for one great show.Only lows are the few loud shouts from a fan close by.It sounds as if hes grabbing the mic and yelling....but overal its a great boot.
