1. Hi there,

    inspired by the recent re-releases and wonderful remastered editions of Boy/October/War,
    I was browsing through the early 80s archives and found this beauty.

    Great sounding gig, fresh encoded with LAME 3.98 MP3 VBR V0 for my u2start.com friends.

    Sure you'll like that!

    U2
    Rainbow Music Hall
    Denver, CO
    May 11, 1981

    Master reel (PRE-FM SBD) > DAT > CD-r > EAC > CDWave > FLAC

    **This recording is NOT complete, first few songs from the show are missing from this
    master**

    01 Another Time, Another Place
    02 Cry / The Electric Co.
    03 Things To Make And Do
    04 Stories For Boys
    05 Boy-Girl
    06 Out Of Control
    07 -encore break- messing around with champagne
    08 A Day Without Me
    09 Twillight
    10 I Will Follow

    I've had this recording for a while now, but never realised that the encore was never 'out there' before. Even Pimm's book "U2 Live" doesn't mention the encore songs of this show. This could be, because only the songs up until 'Out Of Control' were broadcast originally. This, and the crisp sound, lead me to believe that the master reel is a Pre-FM recording of this show.

    It's a great, lively show, with Bono turning 21 the day before (hence the champagne encore break)


    enjoy it!

    First of all Hodel, thanks for this one - should go down well. Second, what's the average VBR bitrate on this one for those seeing it?
  4. Thanks hodel, great addition since the recording here is missing the last songs. Your recording is missing the first, so we have it all now

    Hi,

    well, the average bitrate encoding with V0 is ~230 kbit/s.

    Depending on the source material this preset results target bitrates in a range 220 - 260 kbit/s.

    Users can do that themselves easily
  8. I've recommended this show to many people for a long time, it rocks very very hard. Thanks for bettering it, Hodel... As you really use to do
  9. Hello, it seems like "Touch" is invalid, is there any other source? Thanx

  10. If you have downloaded all the other songs successfully, and only Touch is faulty, then you have had a problem on the download. A single corrupt file means (probably) that your download didn't finish properly. Try to re-download the bootleg and check if the download reaches the "Completed" status properly (they sometimes go from 90 or 95% to 100% directly, resulting in corrupt files).
  11. Thank you, I'll try that!
