I just downloaded this bootleg, and it seems like the whole recording is like a touch too high or something. Like Bono's voice seems a bit more high pitch than usual, as does the pitch of Edge's guitar. Anyone else notice this?

Also, could anyone recommend some good quality UF bootlegs? I really want to listen to them!

use the star rating filter. Its there for a reason and should be mostly accurate

I haven't tried this show, but I do know that a bunch of bootlegs, especially old DAT tapes or cassette tapes from the 1980s that have since been transferred over to digital WAV / FLAC / MP3, are too fast. Sometimes WAY too fast (1987-11-08 Denver - the Rattle And Hum show, for instance).

Correct, if you are a bit techincal you can adjust the pitch using an audio editor. But unfortunately there is not much we can do about it

Thanks for the help guys. And Gerry, I do use the star rating system, it's just for the UF tour there is barely any 5 or 4.5 shows, which is normally what I look for. After that it gets a little hazy. Call me picky and fussy, but it's true!

You can slow it down with Wave Lab.

I made it with the rip from my Rattle and Hum DVD, which runs way too fast because of the PAL Speed Up.

Great performance of ASOH on it.

To add to the list of suggestions, 1985-02-05 Bologna is a great one also.

Check here too for more suggestions:
