    Commens: found this on tradersden. The quality is that of excellent soundboard, better than the one I downloaded here some time ago.
    """"""""""""""""""""
    Additional upgrades:

    After downloading and careful listening, I discovered that this boot required some work, namely:
    1) Pitch was too high (the issue with many old tapes), especially in Bad. This was fixed.
    2) Mid range was enhanced to add some force to vocals.
    3) The channels in Bad differed in volume and fullness. They were smoothed to even the song.

    All changes made with soundforge on WAV files (decoded from FLACS).
    Enjoy!

  2. ha excellent. one of the bands very best Irish performances
  3. wow....it sounds amazing
  4. Best C'mon Everybody ever. U2 felt that the audience had surrender to their feet since they came up the stage, and all the songs had a special feeling. Awesome.
  5. Just great!

    Edinburgh is better than the Self Aid version
  7. I think all the songs were performed quite well, but the ending of Bad (starting from Candle in the wind snippet) is just awesome.
  8. Nice Just replaced the link and added the source information to the bootleg.
    No word on the taper or anyone else I can give some credits for this upgrade?

    I always wondered. Since it's a broadcast is there a taper? Or is the taper the person who recorded it of the TV?

    Technically the taper is the person which connects his recording to the TV / Radio. For example, the guy considered "Taper" of Stockholm 1992-06-11 is the same guy which received the Home-Broadcast award. I don't remember his name, but I know he is the taper.

    Yep, the taper is the one who gets the signal on tape, even if the signal comes from his TV
