    Drew's Notes:
    First off, Thanks to the Tapers, especially D.S.for allowing me to use the IEM. One may ask why another matrix
    of this show when a good matrix already exists? Here is why, to me the other matrix sounds very distant, I don't
    like the distant sound too much, so I made this one. This took countless hours over many months to make. There
    were some timing issues I had to correct on all the Audience sources. The IEM has some static spots throughout,
    not that bad though. This sounds much closer and what I think sounds like a well balanced recording. I diminished
    the metronome on the IEM a bit, but it is still present, when I got rid of the metronome altogether, that is what made
    the other matrix sound so distant. I personally don't mind the metronome. Bono's vocal's are a lot more present
    and up front on this. I hate to say it, but the Audience recordings had a lot of crowd chatter throughout, I tried
    my best to minimize that during the songs and inbetween where it was just way to loud. In my opinion, this is an
    upgrade compared to the previous matrix. But isn't music all a matter of opinion?

    Again, thanks to the tapers!

    Don't sell this recording and please share Lossless only.

    Enjoy,
    Drew Williamsen

  3. This should be worth a download. Thanks Drew for making and sharing
  4. My goodness. I'm gonna download this one for sure.



    EDIT:
    Just finished listening to it and I really enjoyed it. the band definitely sounded much clearer, especially Bono. I'm not sure if there is any way to describe this, but it sounded a lot more like an arena show as opposed to a stadium show regarding the clarity of the vocals and the adjusted bass/drum levels. The static didn't bother me, but I was listening to it through speakers as opposed to headphones, so I can't really say if the occasional buzzing will really annoy me or not.

    In any case, I really appreciate the immense amount of effort you put into this mix. Thanks again!
