Comments:
Not the best performance I've heard by the band but it is still a great
bootleg (although not indexed very well). It is interesting to hear the
band do "Macarena" and get a harsh response (there's a first time for
everything). A couple of short cracks are heard in the recording but are
not worth worrying about. A slight echo can be heard in the vocals at
times (due to the stadium configuration) but is not a great concern and
even adds to the sound at times. This is a highly recommended recording;
definitely worth the investment. Many have labeled this as the best
audience PopMart bootleg available and I agree. I have heard POPDREAM
BELIEVER and it doesn't compare to this. This bootleg brings back
memories of the legendary ZOO TV audience bootleg from Stockholm in 1992
with ABBA (DANCING ZOO TV, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, SATELLITE FROM
STOCKHOLM, etc.). It has the same sharpness and detail of the
instruments and vocals, but however the range isn't as rich. Disc 2,
Track 12 is the infamous Automatic Baby version, with Michael Stipe on
lead vocals.
This is the original pressing on this label.
