Disc 1, Disc 2 (1-10): June 27th, 1997. Chicago, IL. Soldier Field.
Sound Quality:
Good to very good audience.
Comments:
A few songs, such as "Hallelujah," "Stand By Me," and "All I Want
Is You" are shortened versions of the originals (meaning, U2 did not
perform the entire song as was originally recorded in the studio).
The back of CD case reads "These concerts were originally recorded on
tape. The taped shows were re-recorded onto a computer as a .wav file.
The .wav file was divided to create individual tracks. Each track was
filtered and amplified to achieve the best possible sound. The .wav
files were then recorded onto these CD-R discs using the "Disc at Once"
mode. - JJH" These CD's are probably the best available of any of the
Chicago shows. The high end sound is very crisp and clear (sometimes a
little too cutting), and the audience doesn't get too overwhelming. The
only real problem is that there is almost no bass in the mix, which is
why I am a little reluctant about giving these a "very good" rating. If
you don't care much about bass, it won't bother you, but if you like to
crank up the bass, this recording might not be for you.
This is the original pressing on this label.
