SOUNDBOARD (speed corrected, for real this time!!) 

*** with minor, non-music, lossy excerpts: see below ***

 

LINEAGE: Silver CD Until The End Of The World* > TLH > Wav > Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (speed correction, low-end compression, EQ, mixing in missing parts) > Waves S1 & L3 > Cd Wave Editor (track splits) > TLH > Flac (6)  

 

*A few very bad parts were replaced by the silver CD The Real Thing. You won't hear transitions except a very tiny one during With or Without You. It does not distract.

 

PLEASE NOTE (I): 

Some time ago, I synchronized this show to the well-famous audience DVD, I mixed the image with this audio and uploaded the re-issued DVD on U2T. To fill some gaps - i.e. the one-minute introduction and a few words of Bono between several tracks - I mixed in some parts of the camera audio stream. Because it seemed odd to mix in the crowd between some tracks only, I mixed in crowd between every two tracks. These minor parts are AC3 sourced and therefore lossy. 

I've contacted the Dime mods to ask whether this is allowed to share. Since ALL music is lossless and only NON-music parts are from lossy source, I was assured they have no problem with this. 

I would have shared the speed corrected dry SBD if I still had it on my HD, but I haven't. The good thing though: this is the maximum listening pleasure experience.

 

PLEASE NOTE (II):

If you don't want this show because it contains a few minutes of lossy crowd, please don't complain, just don't download it. In a few days I might be uploading a second speed corrected version of the same show, The Real Thing. Sounds far worse to me but that is a true SBD-only without mixed in lossy audience. 

 

I have uploaded a version of this show before, but several people (jasonengel, sorty1) told me I slowed down the speed on that one too much. They were right. 

So, this is my apology to 192 people who downloaded that screwed up version: I'm sorry but here's a fresh one, absolutely 100% in the right speed and better sounding than ever. 

Please be aware that when you play this show over your stereo it will sound top-notch from the beginning of the show until the very last note, but I would not recommend headphones... I did not take out the swirling hiss which is rather agressive. This hiss covers a wide frequency range and removal would have affected the high end too much. 

 

As stated, I can upload a speed corrected version of The Real Thing if there is interest. The reason that I share this one first is that, to me, this one sounds FAR better and FAR more natural, despite the hiss.
