    I agree, the Saitama IEM is crap. This is one of the few shows where I do think the audience recording is better than the IEM.

  4. The IEM is way too sharp - and when you're playing it on sensitive audio equipment (say, in-ear-monitor earplugs), it becomes worse than it is - plus you hear crackling, stuttering and heavy distortion at every second. But it sounds like a piano is being played during Bullet The Blue Sky and Elevation - did anyone else pick that up?

    The worst part, I found, was the opera bit during Miss Sarajevo. A painful experience.

    That said, the AUD and IEM recordings have great potential for an awesome matrix. I did keep it - but again, I can't listen to it - worse than the final IEM Elevation show - there's some good IEMs, and some crap ones. I think Blue_Room actually uploaded an IEM sample of With or Without You ages ago - that wasn't bad.

    haven't listened to it enough, but Bono is always on key so what does it matter?

    I'm not a fan of IEM or earpiece recordings at all, the only reason I have the IEM for the 3rd Saitama show is that it was available via. MU, but I think I may push the boat out for the audience rec. . RS is just a pain though lol...
  10. I'm still searching for the 2nd night Lossless if anyone has it
