U2start.com | SOI - Radio Interviews Downloads

I will always update this post with anything that is coming in.
All Interviews are either downloaded directly as mp3 file from the websites or recorded on Adobe Audition as wav and converted to mp3 (radiostreams are usually lossy)
I add the date when I pack the packages and release them first. So you can check back better what you already have (and how long we.tl links are online).

First package (Sept 20):

Bono

BBC 2 with Jo Whiley
Live 105, San Francisco
WXRT, Chicago
SWR3, Germany
107.7 The End, Seattle
KBCO, Denver
KROQ Los Angeles

The Edge

102.1 The Edge, Toronto

Adam Clayton

SECOND PART (Sept 21):
Dave Fanning interviewed Bono on Sept 19 in Bono's Dublin home, aired Sept 21 on RTE2
1h40m - I cut out all commercial breaks, the news and the non-U2 stuff from the beginning. I left all songs in, Dave played the whole album, matched into the interview (Bono talked about Iris, he played Iris etc.), "Glad to see you go" by the Ramones and some AB snippets he talked about with Bono.

I recorded the show while airing on wav with Adobe Audition and directly edited the unnecessary parts out. A tiny dropout (less than a second) on The Troubles as the stream buffer struggled.

For the archive fans, a flac version: (595MB) http://we.tl/ydg77RJmak (7days) or https://www.oboom.com/DEJ2JD9K

and an mp3 version: (166MB) https://www.oboom.com/SYJAOCDK

Amazing collection, they've really pulled full throttle on interviews this time (there weren't so many for NLOTH I think), lots of little bits of news in that files!

Can't wait for interview sessions with acoustic versions! They sort of promised those to Jo Wiley didnt they?

and to KROQ and others

these acoustic sessions call something else to my mind....MTVs unplugged asked them like a million times - will they now finally say yes?

HA! MTV unplugged? MTV doesn't even do music anymore. Should be called STV for Shit TV.

We do have a regular Unplugged series in Germany.
