haha. The gig will sound better through anything than it will through headphones. Headphones will maximize the hiss
Originally posted by germcevoyI think I might ditch the video idea this time. I've never bothered my arse listening to this gig start to finish in one go so i'd like focus on reviewing the audio only.
PS : Please read my tip on listening through speakers

It's not Ali's fault in any way whatsoever...he chose it, but he probably didn't expect anything so harsh to be said for it. By all means, whenever my shot comes then you can rate that whatever you want, because we all have individual opinions, and not just tending to agree for the sake of agreement and decreasing what could turn ugly.

from the same source but there could be some discrepancy with gernerations etc. There's several different versions of the DVD alone so if you can review both then all the better

So no video? Should I even bother?

And hey...I chose the bootleg which caused the most controversial BRT ever...I'm proud!

only my opinion and preference. I'll be doing audio only myself
Originally posted by haytrain[..]
I'll probably listen to audio first, and then if I have time, watch the DVD if I have time.

you'l love tis new UF gig I have on the way. Sounds better than Edinburgh
Originally posted by haytrain[..]
Seriously?! I loved Gloria in that Edinburgh show....Edge playing the riff at all the wrong times, it actually sounded really good.

Trust me, I didn't expect anything in particular. This isn't about choosing something that others like, it's about choosing something and seeing what everyone thinks. I chose the bootleg without having listened to it completely myself, and I'm glad I did...the BRT isn't supposed to be reviewing the perfect shows everyone knows about.

EDIT: may I add...I'm glad there was a review like Drew's...I mean, as a member here, I wouldn't want people to get scared and not post what they think, as long as you keep it clean (and Drew did that).

I downloaded a rip of it some time ago...it's about 700MB I think...made pretty small...do you think it's good for me to review?
Originally posted by DanRight, first and foremost let me make a recommendation. Do not, repeat do not listen to this show through a cassette adapter in your car from your iPod. I did this and could barely listen; sucked, a lot.
So I gave it another go whilst walking the dogs with my Sennheisers - bloody fantastic by comparison.
Originally posted by JeremyLet me start by saying that the intros at the Popmart shows are, in my opinion, the best beginning to a show the band has ever done. I get chills every time I hear "Pop Muzik" on a bootleg, especially that part where the vocals drop out and it's just the drum loop playing that high-hat heavy dance beat. When the crowd realizes for the first time that the band is walking to the stage from the back of the stadium and let out that primal shrill, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This is what going to a Popmart show was about. Absolutely my favorite part of every Popmart bootleg.
"Mofo" sounded exceptional on this bootleg. I don't know if it's my new Sennheiser CX300s or what, but this particular mix blew me away. I heard every single detail of the looped drumbeat like I've never heard before, especially at the part right when Edge holds those high notes (2:25 into the song). Amazing.
