  1. I wonder around the various sites that have FLAC U2 shows and it seems to me that the best remasters out there come from one Francesco Donadel which a lot of you might be familiar with. I am missing a few and I am wondering if anyone out there would be kind enough to make them available - here is my wish list ... :


    "Joshua Tree Los Angeles - 20 April 1987"     [20 April 1987] 
    "Joshua Tree St. Louis - 25 October 1987"     [25 October 1987] 
    "And There Was Zooropa"     [09 May 1993] 
    "Three Nights and the Truth (Remastered)"     [11 May 1993] 
    "Berlin '93"     [15 June 1993] 
    "Regarde De Plus La Televison"     [26 June 1993] 
    "Amazing Grace (Remastered)"     [15 June 1997] 
    "Goodnight, Fuck Off!"     [18 July 1997] 
    "Brasilian Neon Lights"     [31 January 1998]


    Let me know if you can help me complete it!

  2. Member Noiseless is a sort of apprentice of Donadel. He might know more.
  3. Hello,


    I think I can help you out.

    I have the rotterdam show and the Amazing grace boots.
    I will send you some links


    Grtz,
    G.
  4. Can you post the links here too? Would like Rotterdam myself
  5. +1, that bunch of shows are amazing, and I'm sure that Donadel made a great work with them. Worth having in FLAC for sure.
  6. Don't worry, guys.
    I would love to do a FLAC contribution to this site.
    I will post the links, so the admins can add the flac files to the available audio sources.


    grtz,

    G.

    Amazing Grace 'fixed' , it is.

    I've added it anyway, it's not the same source I think. And if it is, we'll delete one of them and no problem

    Comments:
    This bootleg is by far the best one from the first leg of the Popmart Tour that I've heard so far. I'm a bit surprised that with today's technology most bootlegs recorded during the first leg sound pretty crappy. Luckily this one's an exception. I can't even tell for sure whether it's an audience or soundboard recording, although I assume the former. The setlist is pretty standard, as with most of the Popmart concerts. Bono shouts "Having a ball at the mall, y'all! Supermarket Superman!" during "Even Better Than The Real Thing". Before "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" he says he would like to see The Edge as mayor of Edmonton, which draws a big cheer from the crowd. There's a nasty edit 2:20 into the song, but it's the only real flaw I could detect. Bono sings he feels "like a bird flying high in the northern sky" during "Last Night On Earth". It's a shame "If God Will Send His Angels" is played without drums and bass because this way it sounds very boring. A very nice surprise is the acoustic rendition of "Slow Dancing", which has only been played a few times before. Bono adds a line about Edmonton to "Staring At The Sun" and The Edge dedicates his karaoke version of "Sweet Caroline" to "Todd - you know who you are". "Discothèque" sounds great, along with "If You Wear That Velvet Dress". During the intro to "One" Bono thanks the Fun Lovin' Criminals, Howie B and everyone who came out to see them play. He sings a very short part of "Hallelujah" and dedicates it to Jeff Buckley, bringing an emotional end to a very good concert.
    Eight tracks from this concert - along with the Tibetan Freedom Concert - can be found on PRISONERS OF CONSIENCE and MYSTERIOUS WAYS, but this bootleg has better sound quality. The artwork is fantastic, but it's no wonder given the fact that it was taken directly from the official Popmart Tour Program. My advice? If you want to buy a bootleg from the first leg of the tour, be sure to get this one. It's a lot better than all the others I know of.
    This is the original pressing on this label.

    CT's notes: Received this as a .shn set via DC. Decoded to .wav, edited d1t07 so that the large edit is now a small "pop". If anyone knows how to further smooth this transition please feel free. Adjusted the volume from the start of the show until this edit (when Bono sings "...the highest mountains...") to match the rest of the recording. The source of this boot is pretty clearly the proshot video of this gig; the edit occurs in the circulating video as well. Encoded to FLAC6 with Traders' Little Helper, and corrected the SBE at the end of d1t07.
  12. Conclusion: we already had this version
