Notes:
This show was great, me and wife (GA) and other family crew (seats) went down to see
it since it wasn't coming close to Pgh that year. I don't remember a whole lot of the
details other than two pricks who shifted their way in front of us and really pissed
me off at one point, but they continued to move on so it worked out. In hindsight, I
pulled a pretty good show, but at the time, I didn't think I did (what's new eh?) - the
mastering by bonzosozp really improved it a lot and overall, really nice gig, its a bit
distant but clean vocals, pretty clean overall sound on all the instruments. Sounds better
at higher volumes....The echo at times is pretty wild but in a stadium this big, oh well,
not much you can do about it based upon where I was standing. It's not too too bad or
distracting and only in a couple spots is it really noticable (mostly when Bono is
chatting with us all). I've never taped in a place this big, oh I take that back, I did
tape at the SARS gig in Toronto back in 2003 (400,000) but I was so far away that I setup
in front of one the satillte speakers and those tapes sound like I was taping in my living
room in front of a floor speaker, very clean sound those have, plus it was an open field,
not a walled stadium...I should probably dig them back out and rip them (have them on
CDR I think). I've seen U2 twice after this, in 2011 & 2017 and didn't roll either time.
Both in big stadiums (I prefer the arenas). Thankfully the 2011 Pgh show was recorded via
IEM and its floating around and its pretty good.

I know there was at least one other source for this 2009 date but its not on the tracker
anymore (that I can see).

Thanks to Bonzo for the remaster, great job!!!

Share it if you like, but please, keep the info and files intact.

Please do not include this show in a matrix unless you check with me first (unlikely
anyway). Thanks.

Performance

Awesome! My first U2 show....everything was perfect! Tight playing, good setlist. Highlights for me were: Walk On, Get on Your Boots, Amp singing on SBS, End of One "hear us coming, hear us call", snippet of Stand By Me, Adam's awesome ways on Mysterious Ways.

Sound

Good! A bit muddy at times, volume seems to warble a couple times as well, but overall very good for a bootleg. Bass is at a good level, I might add....
Recording: "Schoeps CCM4 - Sound Devices 702" - 4 stars

Audience

Audience is somewhat quiet in the audio, but even at this Tuesday night show they weren't overly impressive in person. Good singing from everyone during Still Haven't Found and Streets.

Overall

Awesome for the most part, especially since this was my first show! Vertigo didn't download correctly for me, but not a bad loss considering what else is on here so I'm not complaining.
