This guide is intended to provide anyone who is interested in bootlegs with
reliable information on the quality and content of any recording they may be
thinking of buying or trading. Bootlegged material varies immensely in quality,
and through this guide, we hope to help each other avoid getting ripped off. We
do NOT sell these CDs. We do NOT distribute them, or help anyone to buy them. We
are not encouraging anyone to buy them, but rather, if you ARE going to buy
them, this guide should help you decide which bootlegs are good and which should
be avoided. For further information, please read "The Legality of Bootlegs".
Finally, we do NOT want this guide being used by or in conjunction with any
commercial enterprise, whether for profit or otherwise. Online and mail-order
companies are NOT authorized to use ANY information in this COPYRIGHTED guide.
We want our position on these matters clear.

(A special „Thank You“ to Stephanie Glassl for translating chapters one and two)
At the beginning of 1992, Mark Taylor, together with a couple of people from the
U2 mailing list "Wire" (to be found on the Internet at http://www.wildheart.org/archives/wire)
started to gather information about U2 bootleg CDs and put together a guide for
all interested U2 fans and potential bootleg buyers. This guide had been given
the name "Out Of Control - A Guide To U2 Bootleg Compact Discs" and was made
available for free download on the Internet as a regularly updated text file. It
included details about lots of U2 bootleg CDs in alphabetical order. In March
1993, Mark Taylor published "Out Of Control" as a book including reviews of 72
bootleg CDs plus an overview of all U2 tourdates as well as a copy of the "Achtung
Baby Liner Notes" on 120 pages.
In September 1993, J. Gareth Williams took over the care and development of "Out
Of Control". At the beginning of 1995, Mark Taylor contacted J. Gareth Williams
to tell him that he intended to publish a new edition of his book. He asked for
the Internet version of "Out Of Control" to be renamed in order to avoid
mistakes and confusion. J. Gareth Williams fulfilled his request and thought of
a new name together with Mike Gentile. Finally, "For Love Or Money ? - A Guide
To U2 Bootleg CDs" (shortly called FLOM) caught on, a line from "Desire" very
well describing the general problems of bootlegs.
When Mike Gentile took over the care and development of "For Love Or Money ?" in
April 1995, he started to develop a chronologically sorted version besides the
continued and regularly updated alphabetical version. Since then, two different
versions of "For Love Or Money ?" are published at a time, an alphabetically
sorted and a chronologically sorted one. Thus it was possible to make sure that
almost everyone who is interested in bootlegs can obtain the version that suits
him best. Both versions are one hundred percent identical, there is no
difference but the sequence.
In order to support the further development of the text versions of "For Love Or
Money ?", in April 1995, Rob Reck, a good friend of Mike Gentile, started a
conversion of "For Love Or Money ?" into “HTML” format. Thus, it was possible to
recall "For Love Or Money ?" online at any time without having to look through
the full text-versions. Since then, the "For Love Or Money ?" website has seen
lots of redesigning, so today, people who are interested in U2 bootlegs can
visit the site at http://www.u2-flom.com and http://www.u2-flom.de. Here it is
possible to recall reviews of every bootleg CD that is also available in the
text versions of "For Love Or Money ?". Basically, the website contains the same
information as do the text versions, except for the cover illustrations that
are, if existant, integrated in the website. The website is one hundred percent
the same as the text versions. If you happen to own bootleg CDs whose covers
cannot be found on the "For Love And Money ?" website, please scan those covers,
save them as ".jpg" files and send them to us, so they can be added immediately.
The address where to send those pictures to can be found at the beginning of
this text.
In future, the updated versions of "For Love Or Money ?" can be found at two
different addresses on the Internet. All in all, there are four different files
available for download:
flomalph.txt - the updated alphabetical version, text file
flomalph.zip - the updated alphabetical version, packed zip file

Furthermore, there will be an alphabetically sorted as well as a chronologically
sorted version of "For Love Or Money ?". But it is not clear yet how the
increasing number of circulating CD-R bootlegs can be included in "For Love Or
Money ?" in a useful way. CD-R stands for "Compact Disc Recordable". These are
one-off recordable CD media that can usually be played by CD-ROM players as well
as by audio-CD-players. "Normal" CDs and CD-ROMs are pressed from existing
models, CD-Rs are burnt with a laser. This can be done with professional CD
copying stations as well as with CD burners for the PC at home.
CD-Rs differ from pressed CDs in their colour (they are usually gold, green or
blue as opposed to pressed CDs) as well as in the treatment they require. CD-Rs
are much more sensitive as far as dirt, scratches, sunlight and high
temperatures are concerned, and thus require more care than "normal" CDs. They
also have a shorter life than pressed CDs, but as the possible life of up to one
hundred years or more is all theory up to now, it is not possible to make any
more precise statements.
During the last couple of years, the market for CD-Rs has increased explosively
due to the massive drop in prices both for CD writers (starting from $ 120 US)
and for the media required (between $ 1 US and $ 2 US). Today, increasingly
bigger bootleg labels use the CD-R technology to publish their titles in
editions of about 200, 500 or even 1.000 copies, and an increasing number of
private persons publish their very own bootleg CD-Rs in editions of 5, 10 or 50
copies. A lot of those bootlegs are sold with professionally designed and
printed covers and inlets.
There is no doubt that CD-Rs and in future DVD-Rs (one or several times
recordable improved CDs with a capacity of 200 minutes and more) will play an
important part in the whole area of bootlegs and will dominate the whole area
sooner or later. Thus, since 1997, "For Love Or Money ?" features a growing
number of reviews of CD-R bootlegs that have actually been published in bigger
editions and have found wide distribution. I agree with my predecessor Mark
Gentile in saying that bootleg CD-Rs will sooner or later replace the classic
bootleg CD and will supersede the tape as a medium of swapping. How this
development will establish itself in "For Love Or Money ?" cannot be foreseen at
the moment. But yet it is certain that it would not make sense for "For Love Or
Money ?" to list each and every show somewhere pressed on CD-R that is maybe
owned by five to ten people. One possibility to integrate these CD-Rs in "For
Love Or Money ?" in a permanent and reasonable way would be to complete the
alphabetical and chronological versions of "For Love Or Money ?" that only
feature "real bootlegs" by adding a third chronologically sorted version which
contains all CD-Rs bootlegs in circulation. This third version of "For Love Or
Money ?" would not contain complete bootleg reviews with label, catalogue number
etc. but would concentrate only on which recordings exist of what show and which
are worth looking for and which are to be best avoided.
Another problem of CD-R bootlegs is the loss of quality that emerges from
copying CDs and CD-Rs. It is a widely spread delusion that copies of CD or CD-R
are one hundred percent the same as the original. Even a second generation copy
of the original (a CD has been copied on CD-R and from this copy another CD-R
copy has been made) can bring a clear loss of quality with it, if software and
hardware are not coordinated in the best possible way or if there has been done
something wrong in copying.
In the future, this problem will become even more crucial. With the number of
circulating CD-Rs increasing and pressed CDs becoming rare, it is even more
important that the descriptions of quality in "For Love Or Money ?" are as exact
as possible. The newly introduced sound quality ratings by Mike Gentile in the
August 1998 versions of "For Love Or Money ?" (Overall Sound, Crispness, Alive,
Ambience, Performance, Artificial) will therefore be continued in future
versions of "For Love Or Money ?". Even in the now published October 1999
versions, those categories have been completed with numerous bootleg reviews.
Nevertheless, your help is absolutely essential to continue the integration of
these new quality ratings and to put it on a broad basis. If you happen to own
bootleg CDs that have not yet been rated according to the new quality standards,
or should you not agree with the ratings you find in "For Love Or Money ?",
please tell us your ratings. You can do this per e-mail (see the address on top
of this text) or by surfing on the homepage (www.u2-flom.de or www.u2-flom.com).
If you look for detailed information on CD-Rs, visit the outstanding CD-R FAQ at
http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/. If you want to be informed about all recent
developments concerning bootleg CD and bootleg CD-R, you can subscribe to the
magazine "Live ! Music Review" which is published every two months by Bill Glahn.
You can find more information about "Live ! Music Review" on the Internet at
http://sunflower.singnet.com.sg/~singbigo/billy.html.
Since the last version of "For Love Or Money ?" in August 1998, more than a year
has passed. In the recent version of October 1999, 70 bootleg reviews have been
extended and/or corrected, and 30 bootleg reviews have been newly included. The
corrected reviews are almost exclusively detailed extensions of the "Comments".
You will find out exactly which bootleg reviews have been added and/or corrected
in the fourth section under "Changed Reviews This Edition" and which ones are
newly introduced in the fifth section under "New Reviews This Edition". Both
sections list all changes since the August 1998 version of "For Love Or Money
?".
Besides, in the October 1999 version of "For Love Or Money ?", all (!) bootleg
reviews have been extended by the categories "Complete Show", "Format" and
"Released" (that have been introduced in the August 1998 version). Moreover,
superfluous blank spaces and break marks have been eliminated from the whole
text, so now it is much easier to format "For Love Or Money ?" for a printout
according to your own preferences. The e-mail-addresses of the people who sent
in the reviews have been left out in the particular bootleg reviews. This had
become necessary because e-mail-addresses are nearly changed daily and it is
almost impossible to update each and every change in every review in "For Love
Or Money ?". But of course, the names of the reviewers are mentioned in the
particular bootleg reviews, and the recent e-mail-addresses of the reviewers and
supporters can still be found in the "Thank You All Very Much ..." section at
the end of this text.
All reviews in this October 1999 version of "For Love Or Money ?" meet the new
rating standards introduced in the December 1997 and August 1998 versions of
"For Love Or Money ?". For every bootleg, you can find the following information
as far as it is known: Title, Manufacturer, Catalog Number, Matrix Number,
Barcode Number, Complete Show, Format, Released, Timings, Contributor, Track
Listing, Source, Sound Quality, Comments and Repressing. You can find further
information to the different parts of the bootleg reviews in the sixth section
under "Format Of Bootleg Reviews". Already since the December 1997 version of
"For Love Or Money ?", all notes below "Source" correspond to the information
from the outstanding book "U2 Live: A Concert Documentary" by Pimm Jal de la
Parra. Every review contains the complete written out date of the show in the
format month/day/year (in some European countries, the date is normally stated
in the format day/month/year). The location of the concert is listed with
country (respectable with state or province), city and precise name of the
location, as far as these details are known.
In this version of "For Love Or Money ?", you can also find a couple of "Grey
Area" CDs. These are no bootleg CDs but interview CDs, "official" radio shows,
karaoke CDs and similar publications. Up to now, only interview CDs and one
karaoke CD have made their way into "For Love Or Money ?", because there is a
lack of information concerning the other publications and so it makes no sense
to include them in "For Love Or Money ?". If anyone happens to have further
information about these "Grey Area" CDs it would be nice if you sent it to us to
make sure it can be included in future versions of "For Love Or Money ?". Please
use the system "Format Of Bootleg Reviews" as described in the sixth section.
Try to describe the interview as well as can be: When was it done, who did it,
which questions were posed, what was the topic. You can send a review of any CD
which fits into that section but please make sure to use the standard format for
this review.
After the completion of the October 1999 versions of "For Love Or Money ?", the
next aim is to put the website back online as fast as possible after a complete
restructuring and new design complete with all individual reviews. I hope that
this will happen in November 1999 at the latest.
My second aim is to update "For Love Or Money ?" at least twice a year in the
future. The next update is therefore planned for April 2000. The next versions
of "For Love Or Money ?" will focus on the correction of numerous mistakes in
already existing bootleg CD reviews. This especially concerns the numerous
compilations of different live recordings (i.e. "Acoustic TV" or "Covering
Them") where all dates to the featured songs have finally been completed. And
also the box-sets need some completion and correction.
Individual reviews in the "Comments" sections are very important and a focus of
all future "For Love Or Money ?" versions. So if you happen to own a bootleg CD
where you can complete the existing "Comments", you would do a big favour to all
U2 fans if you contributed a review to "For Love Or Money ?" concerning this CD.
Your completions and/or extensions will be added to the existing "Comments" and
will be published in the next version of "For Love Or Money ?". So if you have
always wanted to support "For Love Or Money ?" but never knew what to do, this
is your chance to help me and all readers of "For Love Or Money ?"!
Already since the December 1997 version of "For Love Or Money ?", it has been
considered to create a data base in the "MS access" format containing all U2
bootleg CDs. After a series of tests, this data base would then be made
available for online search. Unfortunately, the work such a data base requires
and the technical problems that go hand in hand with it appear to be more
extensive as initially expected. Despite the outstanding work of Peter Hanning
in programming the data base, an online publication of a "For Love Or Money ?"
data base is not in sight in the near future. All suggestions how such a project
can be realised are very welcome and will be taken very seriously!
Since the August 1998 version of "For Love Or Money ?", the idea came up to make
"For Love Or Money ?" available for download in the Adobe "Acrobat" format
complete with coloured pictures of all covers. But also this idea will still
take some time before it can be realised. And also here, impulses and
suggestions are very welcome!
This October 1999 version of "For Love Or Money ?" features about 650 reviews of
U2 bootleg CDs and bootleg CD-Rs. Thanks to all of you who sent us reviews,
corrections and/or any other kind of information (see the ninth section "Thank
You All Very Much ..."). Please keep sending in! The address where to send your
reviews to can be found at the end of this file. A very special thanks goes to
Mike Gentile and Bob Reck, who, for the last four and a half years, have put
very much time into "For Love Or Money ?", and who made "For Love Or Money ?"
what it is today.

2. The Legality of
Bootlegs - PLEASE READ!
*****************************************
In 1969, the first bootleg in rock music came out. It was a Bob Dylan bootleg
called "Great White Wonder" - a simple LP in black vinyl with blank white labels
and a neutral white cover, onto which "GWW" was printed in big letters.
Nowadays, in the whole area of sound carrier piracy, the term "bootleg" is being
used by record companies and organisations such as RIAA and GEMA to describe all
non-licensed publications without making any distinction between the different
types "counterfeit", "pirate" and "bootleg" in the true sense.
Counterfeits are faithful copies of official sound carriers, but neither does
there exist any authorization to produce them, nor are the due taxes paid to the
owner of the copyright. Pirates are also copies of officially released material,
but here the packaging is not faithfully copied. In this area, compilations of
different official publications can be found that are being released as a new
complilation with a new cover. Bootlegs feature recordings of live concerts
and/or unpublished studio recordings (like demos or outtakes), so as opposed to
counterfeits and pirates, they do not contain officially released material.
Bootlegs are recordings that have not been licensed by the record company, the
artist or any other organisation.
Whereas counterfeits and pirates are undoubtedly illegal and detrimental to the
artists and record companies, bootlegs cannot in any case be included in this
category. As the editions of bootlegs are normally infinitesimal (in most cases
less than 500 or 1000 copies), they cannot be seen as a rival product to the
record company's publications that could reduce the sales of official sound
carriers. Fans and collectors buy bootlegs because they want to hear their band
playing live, and normally they already own all official CDs and CD-singles and
only complete their collection with bootlegs. Thus, for the fan, bootlegs are
supposed to keep special moments in the history of one's band to be able to
remind oneself time and again of the special atmosphere at a concert for
instance.
But these arguments do not change the fact that bootleg CDs are basically
illegal and trading with bootleg CDs is prohibited almost world wide. Bootleg
trading can have serious legal consequences and high financial demands for
damages of the concerned bands or record companies. And you should also keep in
mind that the band does not earn a single penny with the sale of bootlegs. Only
manufacturers and traders net a profit, most of the time without adequately
returning the favour.
It is well-known that Bono as well as Adam and Paul McGuinness have more than
once said in public that they do not have a problem with the swapping of
recordings of U2 concerts as long as it is free and not businesslike and nobody
makes money with it. No matter if you rate bootlegs positive or negative, moral
or immoral, at the end of the day every fan has to decide for himself whether or
not he is willing to spend money for an illegal sound carrier.
Finally, another remark: Compilations of old singles, remixes or b-side tracks
as well as selfmade "Best Of" albums are a form of pirates and should therefore
be disapproved. Not only are they detrimental to the record company but also to
the band itself. The only ones deriving benefit from these products are the
greedy manufacturers themselves. Even if it is very practical to have all old
singles on one CD, there are ways and means to obtain these songs in another
way. All CDs of this kind that can be found in "For Love Or Money ?" have only
been added for the sake of completeness. One can only be advised against the
purchase of such CDs.
Anyone who wants more information about the history and development of bootlegs
can be referred to two books. Besides the bootleg bible "Hot Wacks" whose last
main book "The Last Wacks" was published in 1992 and is moreover updated every
year, the book "The Great White Wonders - A History Of Rock Bootlegs" by Clinton
Heylin can be recommended. It tells the whole history and development of this
market in every detail on over 400 pages.
Another legal remark at the end - please read carefully:
I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY HORRIBLE FATE THAT MAY BEFALL YOU
BY ACTING ON THE INFORMATION IN THIS LIST.
This includes (but is not limited to):
A) any legal action taken against you as a result of you being involved in an
illegal business, and
B) any bad purchases you make based on this list. I try to make sure that what
is written is factually correct and honestly describes the CDs in question; but
many of these discs I've never even HEARD, so trust the reviews of others.

6. Format Of Bootleg Reviews
*****************************************
CD TITLES:
In most cases, this is obvious. In those instances where it is not, I have
chosen what I felt is the most obvious possibility. Titles appear in all capital
letters and are listed in alphabetical order (I will be using my own copy of the
"well-known" bootleg ZOO EUROPA from „Kiss The Stone“ Records as an example).
MANUFACTURER:
Some bootleg labels have been around for years, others exist for a single CD.
Sometimes more than one manufacturer uses the same label name. Some specialize
in quality and original material, others in reprints. The entry "Unknown
Manufacturer" is used when no label is identified (Example: The manufacturer for
ZOO EUROPA is „Kiss The Stone“ Records).
CATALOG NUMBERS:
These are (usually very simple) numbers identifying the particular bootleg CD.
It is usually printed on the spine of a disc, painted on the disc itself, or
found somewhere in the booklet or back cover of the CD (Example: The catalog
number for ZOO EUROPA is „KTS197/98“. This can be found on the spine of the CD
and is painted on the CDs themselves).
MATRIX NUMBERS:
These are the numbers that are burned into the CD itself. These matrix numbers
are the hardest of all to locate. In order to locate the matrix number for any
CD, simply flip the CD itself over (so that the shiny part is face up and you
can see yourself if you look at it), hold it under a light and read the number
that you see appearing near the center of the CD. It should be on the inner-most
ring close to the clear part, near the center hole. As I said, it is burned into
the CD itself. Also, some bootlegs have matrix numbers that have been manually
„scratched out“, like with a pin or needle of some sort (Example: The matrix
numbers ZOO EUROPA are as follows: Disc 1 reads „PILZ CD KTS 197 [ K 33277 C ]“
, and for Disc 2 it reads „PILZ CD KTS 198 [ K 33272 A ]“). Many bootlegs have
been reprinted, sometimes in altered form. The matrix numbers should make it
clear which pressing I'm referring to.
BARCODE NUMBER (UPC symbol):
These are simple to locate. Either a bootleg CD has one or it doesn't. In order
to find out, the most likely place to look is the back CD cover. It is the code,
much like any item in a food supermarket or a legitimate CD, which is read by a
laser scanner attached to the cash register or whatever. It is in a small box,
with vertical lines and has numbers printed underneath. These numbers are the
barcode. This is the info I need (Example: The barcode for ZOO EUROPA reads „8
013780 011977“. It is printed on the back CD cover, in a little yellow box with
black lines.)
COMPLETE SHOW:
This field only pertains to live concert recordings. If the complete show can be
found on the disc(s), then a „Yes“ will appear in the field. If not, a „No“ will
appear in the field. Otherwise, a „NA“ will appear in the field (if this is not
a live concert recording). If you are not sure, just place an „Unknown“ in this
field. An excellent reference to help determine this is the book „U2 Live: A
Concert Documentary“ by Pimm Jal de la Parra (Example: Since ZOO EUROPA contains
the COMPLETE SHOW, a "Yes" appears here).
FORMAT:
If the disc is a „regular“ (silver) compact disc, a „CD“ will appear here. If
the disc is a (gold/blue/green) compact disc recordable, a „CD-R“ will appear
here. In the future, three relatively new formats, „CD-RW“ (compact disc
rewritable), „DVD“ (digital versatile disc), and finally "DVD-R" (digital
versatile disc recordable) might also appear in this field. For now, only „CD“
and „CD-R“ will appear here. Also, place the number of discs before the „CD“ or
„CD-R“ (Example: The format for ZOO EUROPA is „2CD“, since there are two compact
discs and it is a regular CD bootleg).
RELEASED:
This is simply the year that the bootleg was released (if known) (Example: The
year that ZOO EUROPA was released is 1993).
TIMINGS:
The total running time for each disc appears in parenthesis (Example: The
timings for ZOO EUROPA are (65:57) for Disc 1 and (54:04) for Disc 2).
CONTRIBUTOR(s):
Wherever possible, I've tried to include the name of the contributor(s) who sent
in the review. Some of the reviews without name are those that were in Mark
Taylor's original list, but most are reviewed by me (Example: The contributor(s)
for the review of ZOO EUROPA are: Frederic Elsner , J and Jason Fusco).
TRACK LISTINGS:
Song titles are listed in the order in which they are heard on the CD. If there
is a discrepancy between what is heard and what is listed on the cover, it is
noted under the comments section (Example: See below for the track listing for
ZOO EUROPA).
SOURCE:
This is the date, location and venue (in that order) for a live recording. For
the bootlegs that are not of a live nature (b-sides, studio demos, interviews,
remixes, etc) the source would be as accurate a description (of the origin) as
possible. All bootlegs are of a live performance unless otherwise stated
(Example: The source for ZOO EUROPA is „August 28, 1993. Dublin, Ireland. Royal
Dublin Society Showgrounds“).
SOUND QUALITY:
This is in terms of bootleg quality, not commercial quality. The rating scale is
as follows: excellent, very good, good, fair and poor. A CD rated poor to fair
is difficult or unpleasant to listen to. The origin of the recording is also
specified as either a soundboard (direct line feed from the mixing board), or as
an audience member made recording or as a broadcast recording which generally
encompasses FM radio and television broadcasts (Example: The sound quality of
ZOO EUROPA is excellent soundboard broadcast).
SOUND AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS (mostly pertains to live bootlegs):
OVERALL SOUND (So what would you give it on a 1-to-10 scale overall ?): This
applies to the main live portion of the bootleg in question. If a bootleg
manufacturer includes a few bad bonus tracks, that will not detract from the
overall sound rating. Bonus tracks need not be rated. This is a numerical
rating, including one decimal point. This rating is based on a „1-to-10“ scale
with „1“ being the lowest (worst) and „10“ being the highest (best). Sample
input values for ratings are as follows: „8.1“, „5.0“, „10“, „7.5“, „9.9“ etc
(Example: The overall sound rating for ZOO EUROPA is a „9.9“).
CRISPNESS (How "crystal clear" is the sound ?): This applies to the main live
portion of the bootleg in question. If a bootleg manufacturer includes a few bad
bonus tracks, that will not detract from the crispness rating. Bonus tracks need
not be rated. This is a numerical rating, including one decimal point. This
rating is based on a „1-to-10“ scale with „1“ being the lowest (worst) and „10“
being the highest (best). Sample input values for ratings are as follows: „8.1“,
„5.0“, „10“, „7.5“, „9.9“, etc (Example: The crispness rating for ZOO EUROPA is
a „7.0“. JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE would receive a „10.0“ for super crisp and NEW
HORIZON would receive a „3.5“ super dull).
ALIVE (Does the bootleg capture the feeling of actually being there ?): This
applies to the main live portion of the bootleg in question. If a bootleg
manufacturer includes a few bad bonus tracks, that will not detract from the
alive rating. Bonus tracks need not be rated. This is a numerical rating,
including one decimal point. Excellent audience bootlegs have an edge here.
Flat-sounding broadcasts would receive low rating. This rating is based on a
„1-to-10“ scale with „1“ being the lowest (worst) and „10“ being the highest
(best). Sample input values for ratings are as follows: „8.1“, „5.0“, „10“,
„7.5“, „9.9“, etc (Example: The alive rating for ZOO EUROPA is an „9.0“).
AMBIENCE (What kind of atmosphere or mood was present during the show ?): This
applies to the main live portion of the bootleg in question. If a bootleg
manufacturer includes a few bad bonus tracks, that will not detract from the
ambiance rating. Bonus tracks need not be rated. This is a numerical rating,
including one decimal point. This rating is based on a „1-to-10“ scale with „1“
being the lowest (worst) and „10“ being the highest (best). Sample input values
for ratings are as follows: „8.1“, „5.0“, „10“, „7.5“, „9.9“, etc (Example: The
ambiance rating for ZOO EUROPA is a „9.5“).
PERFORMANCE (How good did the band perform that night ?): This applies to the
main live portion of the bootleg in question. If a bootleg manufacturer includes
a few bad bonus tracks, that will not detract from the AMBIANCE rating. Bonus
tracks need not be rated. This is a numerical rating, including one decimal
point. This rating is based on a „1-to-10“ scale with „1“ being the lowest
(worst) and „10“ being the highest (best). Sample input values for ratings are
as follows: „8.1“, „5.0“, „10“, „7.5“, „9.9“, etc (Example: The performance
rating for ZOO EUROPA is a „10.0“).
ARTIFICIAL (How „fake“ is the sound quality ?): This is a qualitative rating. If
there is some digital manipulation of the sound, or something „just doesn't seem
quite right“ it would show up here. The only ratings here are „Yes“, „Somewhat“,
or „No“. (Example: The artifical rating for ZOO EUROPA is „No").
COMMENTS:
This is anything of note that hasn't all ready been covered by one of the above
categories, as well as anything especially good or bad about the CD pressing or
U2's performance. Special guest appearances are also listed here (Example: See
below for the comments for ZOO EUROPA).
REPRESSING(S):
Do not worry about the repressings info. I will determine which bootlegs are
repressed and supply this info in this section, if it is deemed necessary. All
of the individual reviews in this guide are assumed to be the original pressings
on each particular label (if known) and after each original pressing will appear
the sentence: „This is the original pressing on this label.“ There are a few
bootlegs in this guide which have unknown manufacturers, such as MELON REMIXES
FOR PROPAGANDA. Since there is no way to determine which is the original
pressing and which are the repressings for some of these bootlegs, they will
appear multiple times.
In a few cases, Mike Gentile (former editor of „For Love Or Money“) and me made
a couple of changes to other peoples' reviews, if we felt sure that there were
errors in the information. In cases where I disagreed or where I had anything
else to say about the recording, we have sometimes added our comments in
[brackets] afterward. This is not to undermine what other people have written,
it is simply to provide some kind of standard to compare sound quality amongst
boots reviewed by different people. In most cases, I have tried my best to leave
the original text of the review intact.

Comments:
Even better than the official live albums ! Recorded live from the mixing desk,
it's the best bootleg (including HAPPY NEW YEAR) I've ever heard. The sound is
more than perfect ! The package has superb photos. Some errors occur on the
titles, such as „Bullet“ for „Bullet The Blue Sky“ and „Help Me“ for The
Beatles' „Help“. The version of „Stay (Faraway, So Close !)“ is very very good
(in my opinion) and „Numb“ is played like the Industrial Mix on the 3-track
video cassette single for „Numb“. The August 28, 1993 Dublin bootleg has long
been considered perhaps the greatest bootleg ever, and most of the reviewers say
ZOO EUROPA is the best. The ending of „Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The
World“ has Bono saying simply „I Will“ instead of the „Dublin City says I will“
on other bootlegs such as Live Storm's ZOOROPA `93 - RDS , DUBLIN 1993.
Obviously, KTS has found a way to edit it out so it misses a beat or the ending
seems a little bit abrupt. The long wait while the band is walking to the
b-stage after this song and to „Angel Of Harlem“ is edited too, because it seems
that the two songs were played right after the other (which they were not). This
bootleg is also edited from „Pride (In The Name Of Love)“ to „Desire“. The Zoo
Confessions and the TV images and interference right before „Desire“ is edited
(as compared to the unedited ZOOROPA `93). So all you hear is the crowd after
from „Pride (In The Name Of Love)“ and then „Desire“ kicks straight in. After
„Cant Help Falling In Love“, Bono says goodnight and the bootleg fades out. In
other pressings such as ZOOROPA `93, you can still hear the Elvis version of the
song from the PA while Bono says „Elvis is still in the building“, and then it
fades out. From the looks of it, this CD has obviously been remastered as seen
from the edits which have actually been quite professionally done (that is why
no one has pointed this out, maybe because they never noticed it or that they
only have one Dublin bootleg, thus no other basis of comparison. After all, who
would be crazy enough to buy different pressings of the same show ?). Thus, this
may be the best sounding in terms of sound quality among all the Dublin
pressings. Taken from the worldwide broadcast, this is a great homecoming
performance. The band have even incorporated a few „Zooropa“ songs here too.
It's nicely edited and an enjoyable listen. Every bootleg should look and sound
this good ! Again, they go through a large chink of „Achtung Baby“ material
before going into „New Year's Day“. The fairly- new „Numb“ is played next. The
acoustic set also features another new song, „Stay (Faraway So Close!)“, along
with crowd-pleasers „Angel Of Harlem“ and „When Love Comes To Town“. „Satellite
Of Love“ features a pre-recorded vocal of Lou Reed. „Bad“ opens the second disc
and includes a snippet of Elton John's „Candle In The Wind“, and ends with a
snippet of another new song, „The First Time“. A short version of The Beatles
„Help“ launches into „Ultraviolet (Light My Way)“. „Desire“ includes Bono's Mac
Phisto character's call to the United Nations, which is actually a pre-recorded
bit from Adam. The show concludes with Elvis' „Can't Help Falling in Love“ with
nice crowd participation. A nice release. It's also out on quite a few other
labels under different titles. Collectors and even casual fans should enjoy it.
The cover states „Live On Tour 1993“. This comes with a nice 12-page fold-out
with lots of photos and a short "Professor Stone" essay. Both CDs are picture
discs.
This is the original pressing on this label.

A) Regular Concert Recordings (Single Shows, And Multiple Pressings)
Each date below corresponds to a live concert recording which can be found on a
single CD, double CD, or a multiple pressing of a single or double CD. Only
complete or mostly complete concerts are listed, meaning that "bonus tracks"
tacked on to the end of certain CDs are not individually listed in date order.
This makes perfect sense, since the "bonus tracks" on certain bootlegs are
difficult to nail down specific dates and so on. The "number" (on the left)
below is actually a "date" in the format: (YY/MM/DD), the reason is as follows:
IT MAKES SEARCHING FOR A PARTICULAR DATE RELATIVELY SIMPLE. As an example, use a
word processor such as MS-Word or Word Perfect to "search" or "find" to find a
specific "date" you are wondering about. (Example: Say, the Dublin broadcast on
August 28, 1993. Simply type in '93/08/28', and it will take you right to that
group of reviews). If, say you want to find out if there are any good bootlegs
from a certain month and year, but you don't know a specific date, simply type
in the year and month. (Example: You want to see if there are any good
recordings of concerts from May, 1992. Simply use the "search or "find" feature
on your word processor and type in '92/05/'. This will take you directly to the
first of seven different dates for May of 1992). And finally, you can do the
same for a specific year. (Example: You want to know about any available
concerts from 1982. Simply "search" or "find" on '82/', and you will be taken
directly to the first of three different dates available for 1982). This makes
searching for a particular tour or date a snap and it will also save you a LOT
of time in the long run. Under each date below is a list of every known U2 CD
bootleg which contains a concert from that particular date. To repeat: Only
complete or mostly complete concert recordings can be found in chronological
order below. All other bootlegs can be found in the other sections of this
guide.

Comments:
Tracks 1-16 are incorrectly labeled as being from "December 1979". A very early
U2 concert. It includes early non-album tracks such as "Speed of Light", "The
Magic Carpet", "Trevor", "Pete the Chop", "Cartoon World", and "Jack in The
Box". This is a very good and energetic show. After this show, U2 were offered a
deal with Island Records. The CD is well-packaged, with era-correct pictures of
the band on the sleeve and case. Track 1 is "The Silver Lining", which is an
early version of "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" (with different lyrics), as it is listed
on the cover. Track 18 features The Police. Track 19 features Bruce Springsteen.
All of the bonus tracks have a fuzz indicating that the CD was probably recorded
from a master whose levels were too high. This CD concert is available in an
edited form as "bonus tracks" on ARC's FARAWAY, SO CLOSE...

Sound Quality:
Disc 1, Disc 2 (1-6): Good to very good audience.
Disc 2 (7-18): Poor soundboard.
Comments:
The Zooropa show from Italy is good performance for an enthusiastic audience,
but the audience noise really ruins it. This is the last of four shows that
Pearl Jam opened for U2 (along with An Emotional Fish) and Bono mentions them at
one point. The real attraction of this package are the Dublin tracks, which
should be the main feature of the discs, not bonus tracks! An embryonic U2 put
on a great show for about 1000 fans and friends in their home town, a full 8
months before the release of "Boy". Many of the songs feature different lyrics
than the ones we're used to on their later releases. Disc 2 Track 7 is "11
O'Clock Tick Tock" with different lyrics (it's listed as "11 O'Clock Tick
Tock"). Track 10 is "Touch" with different lyrics. Track 16 features the
original lyrics as found on the 1980 "Another Day" B-side. Track 18 is probably
some kind of "inside joke", a short fragment of Don McLean's "Vincent" (probably
not the original, but I wouldn't know). The inlay card calls it "The last
non-deserved tribute to the Unforgettable Fire". The title is not on the
package, but is printed on the CDs themselves. Very odd. The packaging is nice,
featuring numerous pictures of the band, both old and new (great one of very
young Bono, The Edge, and Larry on-stage). It includes a blurb about each show,
and gives thanks to a Mr. Brush for taping the Zooropa show. Not to be confused
with the other FARAWAY SO CLOSE, which has a very similar title!
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
Some of the listed tracks are listed incorrectly on the back cover. The titles
listed above are the best I could come up with. I am fairly certain that the
pre-'Boy' titles listed above are correct. There are no liner notes. The

Sound Quality:

tapes (which WERE perfect).
Comments:
This bootleg is excellent. Great if you don't have "Touch" and "Things To Make
And Do". Track 2 is labeled "An Cat Dubh (The Black Cat)" and Track 14 is
labeled "Into The Head". The pictures in the CD are from 'The Unforgettable
Fire' (CD and pictures) and 'Rattle And Hum' (shrug). All in all, it is
excellent. I'm not sure about the availability, but I believe it is new and
available. Deluxe color cover. Tracks 9-21 have some dropouts in maybe a couple
of songs, enough to merit a lesser rating than Tracks 1-8 because the rules for
broadcasts should be construed more strictly. Without the volume level and
left-right level occasional dropouts, the recording itself isn't as "edgy" and
"full-sounding" as the Holland tracks. The Holland tracks are just excellent.

Comments:
Disc 2, Track 1 is "Party Girl", followed by "Gloria", both on the same track
for some reason. Disc 1, Track 1 is the studio recording of "4th Of July,"
playing while U2 take the stage. A fine example of U2 live in the mid 80's.
You'll probably find this one a bit difficult to find at this point in time. The
jewel case is a thick double case, and it comes with an 8-page booklet complete
with liner notes and 1985 tour dates. See also TOUCH.

Comments:
U2 put on a good performance at a small club on their first visit to West
Germany. It seems the audience is somewhat unreceptive for the first half of the
concert, but the band wins their support by the end of the set, which is
featured in its entirety on this disc. This would be a great bootleg, but pales
in comparison to the superb recordings available of the concert from Boston,
March 6, 1981 (See ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE), which feature an identical
setlist. It may be his experiences in Europe at about this time that Bono later
described in "Stranger In A Strange Land". Color cover.

This is simply a fantastic disc. A great performance (containing the complete
set list) for a very enthusiastic Boston crowd, combined with a superb
recording, make this a must-have addition to any collection (which would explain
why it has been pressed in so many different forms). This CD was probably
mastered from a better source than the OUT OF CONTROL disc, as there doesn't
seem to be any static or surface noise, it's possible this CD was mastered from
the original source tape, rather than vinyl. See that entry for more
information.

Sound Quality:
Excellent radio broadcast (soundboard). This performance was originally recorded
for WBCN-FM radio in Boston. It was then pressed as the Warner Brothers Music
Show promo LP, 'Two Sides Live'. It was from a copy of the promo LP, that this
CD was mastered. As such, vinyl pops and ticks can be heard. There is also a
skip that repeats about four times during "Things To Make And Do". Despite the
vinyl source, this is still an excellent soundboard recording.
Comments:
A brilliant early performance that captures most of the first album live. This
is one of the most common and best radio broadcasts from a time when this band
mattered. "Another Time, Another Place" is played, despite not being listed on
the cover. The second version of "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" does not come from a
separate show. The band actually played it twice during this show!
Unfortunately, this CD is not indexed, making it impossible to quickly jump from
track-to-track. The cover is a 4-panel insert and tray card.

Sound Quality:
Very good audience.
Comments:
The quality isn't quite that of the first Paradise Theater show of this tour
(March 6, 1981, TWO SIDES LIVE), but it's a pretty good audience recording. The
industry seems to have left Italy physically (this disc was manufactured in
Taiwan, not Italy or Luxembourg). The insert is blank, but the covers are all
correct for the time period. The sound quality gives a good feel of what it must
have been like to hear U2 in the audience, something that soundboard recordings
sometimes don't give. As you may know, it wasn't unusual for a European band to
play true encores, as U2 did for "I Will Follow", "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" and
"The Ocean". I think Carter Alan mentions this in his book. Alan also mentions
that it wasn't until later that he found out that U2 had older songs they could
have played (from the demo period), but that they wanted to concentrate on the
new, better material. Anyway, as someone said when another show came about on
disc for the first time 13 years later, it is very unusual to have a show of
this quality come out on CD 15 years later.

Comments:
This bootleg is excellent. Great if you don't have "Touch" and "Things To Make
And Do". Track 2 is labeled "An Cat Dubh (The Black Cat)" and Track 14 is
labeled "Into The Head". The pictures in the CD are from 'The Unforgettable
Fire' (CD and pictures) and 'Rattle And Hum' (shrug). All in all, it is
excellent. I'm not sure about the availability, but I believe it is new and
available. Deluxe color cover. Tracks 9-21 have some dropouts in maybe a couple
of songs, enough to merit a lesser rating than Tracks 1-8 because the rules for
broadcasts should be construed more strictly. Without the volume level and
left-right level occasional dropouts, the recording itself isn't as "edgy" and
"full-sounding" as the Holland tracks. The Holland tracks are just excellent.

The cover is an attractive 4-panel insert and 2-sided tray card. The Pinkpop

Place material is a good audience recording that sounds like it plays too fast.
Excellent recording of one of U2's first "big shows"! The avid fan gets
goosebumps to hear Bono proclaim "We are U2, have you heard of us?" Just before
an awesome performance of "I Will Follow." Also includes the first live
performance of "Fire." Dave Marshak contributed to this review.

Comments:
This CD is worth the money if you enjoy the early U2. This one really stumps me.
This bootleg is out of the norm, if not weird. As many of you know, Rev.
Records' THE LOST BROADCASTS VOL. ONE is pretty good. This bootleg is made by
Foam Head and not Rev. Records. Even though the title appears to be a
continuation of the bootleg THE LOST BROADCASTS VOL. ONE, it is not. In fact,
similarity between two is that both bootlegs are from the same era. This bootleg
rips off cover art and designs from other bootlegs. The cover and the inside
booklet are the same pictures as seen in and on the bootleg THE GIG IN PHILLY.
What is even funny is that the pictures here are not as good as the original.
The back inlay is ripped of from the bootleg PICTURES IN GREY, and again the
quality is not as good as the original. Further, the back cover says that this
bootleg was manufactured by Foam Head, but the CD its self says it is a
Prontomagic Recording. The back cover gives the number FH007, but the CD says
TLBZ604. Given the peculiarity of this, the recordings here are great! The
concert from Holland is a great performance, however, it is not complete. The
band and audience and band sing "Happy Birthday" to Larry after Track 9. At
midnight Bono remarks, "Tonight is very special, because the last teenager, our
drummer, has just become 20 years old." It is a great (partial) concert, with an
especially good version of "11 O'Clock Tick Tock." The concert from London is
also great. Don't pass this one up. It is definitely an bootleg oddity, but
offers partial recordings from two great shows. The first track has a pause for
about a second then it plays the rest of the CD just fine. According to 'U2
Live: A Concert Documentary,' the first show is missing "Gloria," "Another Time
Another Place," "I Threw A Brick Through A Window," "Twilight," and "Out Of
Control." The second show missing "Rejoice." Overall, it's a good disc and shows
the type of performances U2 gave back in the day. I have not seen these shows
elsewhere, which will allow for the minor edits on the CD. Overall, its a solid
buy for $20-25 US. Color cover. Picture CD.

Comments:
This CD is worth the money if you enjoy the early U2. This one really stumps me.
This bootleg is out of the norm, if not weird. As many of you know, Rev.
Records' THE LOST BROADCASTS VOL. ONE is pretty good. This bootleg is made by
Foam Head and not Rev. Records. Even though the title appears to be a
continuation of the bootleg THE LOST BROADCASTS VOL. ONE, it is not. In fact,
similarity between two is that both bootlegs are from the same era. This bootleg
rips off cover art and designs from other bootlegs. The cover and the inside
booklet are the same pictures as seen in and on the bootleg THE GIG IN PHILLY.
What is even funny is that the pictures here are not as good as the original.
The back inlay is ripped of from the bootleg PICTURES IN GREY, and again the
quality is not as good as the original. Further, the back cover says that this
bootleg was manufactured by Foam Head, but the CD its self says it is a
Prontomagic Recording. The back cover gives the number FH007, but the CD says
TLBZ604. Given the peculiarity of this, the recordings here are great! The
concert from Holland is a great performance, however, it is not complete. The
band and audience and band sing "Happy Birthday" to Larry after Track 9. At
midnight Bono remarks, "Tonight is very special, because the last teenager, our
drummer, has just become 20 years old." It is a great (partial) concert, with an
especially good version of "11 O'Clock Tick Tock." The concert from London is
also great. Don't pass this one up. It is definitely an bootleg oddity, but
offers partial recordings from two great shows. The first track has a pause for
about a second then it plays the rest of the CD just fine. According to 'U2
Live: A Concert Documentary,' the first show is missing "Gloria," "Another Time
Another Place," "I Threw A Brick Through A Window," "Twilight," and "Out Of
Control." The second show missing "Rejoice." Overall, it's a good disc and shows
the type of performances U2 gave back in the day. I have not seen these shows
elsewhere, which will allow for the minor edits on the CD. Overall, its a solid
buy for $20-25 US. Color cover. Picture CD.

Comments:
[Steve]: This concert - the last one on the first leg of the October Tour - was
broadcast on German television as part of WDR's "Rockpalast" series. Even though
it's such a long time ago the sound quality can still compete with today's
recordings. During the first part of "Rejoice" the quality seems to deteriorate,
but it quickly recovers. U2's performance isn't different from most other
nights, except that Bono desperately tries to reach out to the German crowd the
whole time. The audience is quite unresponsive and it clearly frustrates him.
During "Rejoice" Bono sings improvised lines about the lights shining in his
face and thus not being able to see the crowd and to "I Fall Down" he adds "I
think I'll go home... I think I don't like this show". The rest of the concert
sounds more inspired, with great versions of "I Will Follow", "Out Of Control"
and "11 O'Clock Tick Tock".
The three bonus tracks are from the Roskilde festival in 1982 and although it
was shown on TV as well, the sound quality is pretty bad The cover looks very
nice, but it only has three B/W pictures and I don't think they're from the
Berlin show. In fact they all come from Pimm Jal's "U2 Live" book (pages 20, 26
& 27). Overall, it's a great bootleg from the early days. The performance wasn't
as inspired as the "infamous" Boston show earlier that year, but for collectors
this bootleg's a must.
Color cover.
[Elisha]: This performance of early U2 really captures the spirit of their live
performances in the Boy/ October period. Bono is quite vocal throughout about
the fact that the lights were in his eyes and that he could not see the audience
(apparently, still very new to public stage performance). U2 plays quite well,
and Bono ends up improvising lyrics in many songs including Gloria, Another Time
Another Place, An Cat Dubh, Rejoice, and I Fall Down. He is also quite chatty
with the audience and they are certainly quite receptive to his attention. By
the time he sings "call out" in 11:00 Tick tock, the audience responds by
yelling "Bono!" and "Dublin!" The sound quality is excellent since it was
recorded on a soundboard. The intro. to The Electric Co. that is called "The
Cry" seems to have made its debut on this occasion as Bono precedes it with the
words: "We're not used to doing auditions. We'll break that: this is The Cry".
Before the encore of 11:00 Tick Tock, Bono tells the cheering audience: "You
don't have to try so hard. We're not gonna make you wait. Can you hear it?
Eleven O'Clock Tick Tock!". All in all, the CD captures the small-stage feel of
U2's performance with a few bonus tracks to boot. Definitely pick this up if
you're a fan of the raw and unmistakable early U2.

Comments:
As far as I know, this is the first ever CD release of this material - quite
unbelievable, considering the fantastic quality of both the recording and the
band's performance. It was recorded before a crowd of around 1500 on a five-deck
riverboat, The SS President, whilst cruising the Mississippi River. Although
there is a tape edit between Tracks 12 and 13, this CD contains the complete
energetic performance. The packaging is excellent. The cover features a black
and white photo of the band standing in front of the ship's bridge, while the
12-page booklet features numerous shots of the band, some of which are claimed
to have been shot during this performance. There are also a couple of shots
taken during the filming of the "Gloria" video. It's incredible that material of
this quality is still surfacing thirteen years later. It has rapidly become one
of my favorite recordings. I highly recommended this. This is only the third
release from this record label; apparently the others have been very high
quality as well. They seem to take pride in the material they put out, and might
be a good label to look out for in the future.

Great CD. Bono is very chatty and is obviously having a good time with the
crowd. He talks about how he was almost arrested earlier in the day when trying
to join a Saint Patrick's Day parade as part of a photo shoot, about how the
Irish are portrayed in the US and about his favorite part of the Irish flag (the
middle, the white bit). There is a rare performance of Tomorrow included. Bono
says that this is the first time they have performed that song, ever. The sound
is very clear and good and the plays well and they are a little less ridgid in
their adherence to the songs on the album. A must for a boot lover of their
older material. The bonus tracks are also rare perfromances for each of those
songs, but the sound quality is good audience at best.

The cover incorrectly sites the source as "Dublin, 1980". The set is only

same tape as CATHOLIC OR PROTESTANT, except here the hiss has been been removed,
resulting in a cleaner sound. A lot of the high frequency noise has been
filtered out.

Comments:
"I Fall Down" is incorrectly listed as "I'm A Believer" on the cover. "A
Celebration" is also incorrectly listed as "Shake Shake Shake". "Into The Heart"
is played despite not being listed on the cover. This CD is mastered from a
vinyl bootleg, of the same name. See also: RED LIGHT.
This particular disc is mastered from a Vinyl Source. In addition to the audible
pops and crackles, the crowd banter from Bono is edited out. Also, the vinyl
source is played slow, thus the disc sounds bad. Avoid this version if possible!

Sound Quality:
Excellent radio broadcast (soundboard). This is recorded from vinyl source.
Comments:
This is the heavily booted show in Hammersmith, however, this one includes "11
O'Clock Tick Tock" after "A Celebration." To my knowledge, this is the only one
which has "11 O'Clock Tick Tock " on it, and in the correct order. I think this
may be the complete show. The sound quality is better than that of 1982 U.K.
TOUR , this appears to have no audible pops or cracks. A great recording. There
are MANY mislabeled tracks on this one. Track 7 is mislabeled "I Don't Believe
Em." Don't pass it up. This was taken from a widely-bootlegged 1982 radio show,
not from 1981 as the title implies. A great reminder that this band once
mattered. The cover is an attractive 1-piece insert and tray card. The packaging
has a color picture of the band playing on it from 1981 or 1982. I do not know
about the availability of this one, but I have not seen it on any guides or
listings. My guess is that it is kind of rare.

Comments:
Originally recorded and broadcast for the BBC, this is a fantastic concert
previewing the 'War' album material. On some other bootlegs of this show, "A
Celebration" is included as a Track 13. On this bootleg, however, the track is
omitted. Track 6 is incorrectly labeled as "I'm A Believer". This is the same
recording as the bootlegs RED LIGHT and BBC CONCERT. The date above is the
correct date, according to 'U2 Live: A Concert Documentary', Primm Jal de la

Sound Quality:
Good to very good broadcast. Parts of this have a persistent high-pitched hum
that accompanies The Edge's guitar and Bono's vocal track; can get a bit
annoying.
Comments:
U2 put on a solid, high-energy performance for what Bono calls "the capital of
Great Britain", which sends the audience ballistic. Bono messes up the lyrics a
couple of times during the set, so he has to improvise a bit. I've have never
come across any other live performance of "Tomorrow", although this recording
appears on a couple of other bootlegs as a bonus track. Not a fantastic
rendition of the song, but interesting as it features The Edge (I assume)
playing a soprano recorder. Bono changes key in the middle of the song, which
really kind of ruins it. At one point during the performance, Bono yells "Larry
Mullen plays Yamaha drums!" "October" is not listed, but precedes "Tomorrow" on
Track 9.

Comments :
Although many songs of this show have been released on other bootlegs, this
double CD has the COMPLETE soundboard recording of the May 6, 1983 show, which
is very hard to come by. Six songs have never appeared on any bootlegs of this
show before. The show is charged and U2 is in great form. The bootleg comes with
black cover art and photos from both 1982 and (strangely enough) 1992. The
Boston date incorrectly labeled as May 29, 1983. A nice addition to any
collection, especially since it covers the entire show. The Hilversum recording
appears on other bootlegs. Both shows were recorded for radio broadcast, but I
believe the master tape from the Boston show was used to master this CD. You
should definitely pick this up. This is probably the best recorded
representation of a U2 show from the 1983 tour. The only flaw in the Boston show
is a 2-second "skip" (quite like a record would do) during the piano intro to "I
Fall Down." However, a careful listen doesn't reveal any surface noise one would
expect from a recording mastered from vinyl. The Holland tracks are a nice
addition.

Comments:
This is not the May 13, 1983, Philadelphia, PA, Tower Theater show, as
previously thought. Having just picked up THE COMPLETE BOSTON '83 TAPES, I
realized that the so-called "GIG IN PHILLY" bootleg is actually from the same
May 6, 1983, Boston, MA, Orpheum Theater show, edited down, partially
resequenced, and with considerably inferior sound. I also found out that The
Swingin' Pig shut down in January, and that the Boston show was one of the last
ones they did before calling it quits.

The Denver tracks make a nice addition to the 'Under A Blood Red Sky'

Comments:
This bootleg doesn't contain any hiss or tick as expected from a vinyl source,
so I am assuming that it was taken from the master tapes, but it is possible
that the last two songs were from taken the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' video. Most
of the tracks on this bootleg are on the official video release 'Under A Blood
Red Sky.' I tried compare this CD to the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' video and they
both sound exactly alike. This means that this bootleg is edited just like the
'Under A Blood Red Sky' album was. The sound quality is almost exactly the same
(although I prefer this to 'Under A Blood Red Sky'), but this one has a richer
bass drum giving it a more "live" feel. The audience volume levels are exactly
the same without sacrificing any sound quality. Much has been said about the
COMPLETE BOSTON TAPES, and although I haven't heard that bootleg yet, I'd have
to assume this is better simply because this sounds even better than 'Under A
Blood Red Sky!' This bootleg is probably hard to find nowadays. It is definitely
worth the price, though. The best pre-Joshua Tree bootleg out there bar-none (in
my opinion). I can state that it is the full show and it is of excellent
quality, but there is one lingering question. "I Threw A Brick Through A Window"
and "A Day Without Me" actually come before "Gloria" on the set list, but not
having the CD in front of me, I can't confirm the actual order. Can anyone else?
This can be found in a shorter edited version that is more polished on the CD
entitled SECONDS.
[Mick McGuigan]: This was broadcast on FM Radio in Colorado in or around
November 83 and I believe that this particular bootleg is a recording of that
broadcast ? „I Threw A Brick Through A Window“ and „A Day Without Me“ were
omitted from the broadcast and so they were probably added to the end.

Comments:
The Denver tracks make a nice addition to the 'Under A Blood Red Sky'
videocassette since the disc contains five tracks from the performance that are
not featured on the video. The sound quality could have been better, but it's
defiantly enjoyable. The Philadelphia show was originally recorded for a local
radio station. These tracks sound great, its a pitty the disc doesn't cover the
whole set. The date is listed as June 14th, but U2 only played the Tower Theater
on May 13th and 14th.

video tape, 'Under A Blood Red Sky'. As such, the sound quality and performance
are excellent, but not very unique. The intro and outro are Clannad's "Harry's

Comments:
The sound on this bootleg is distorted, it doesn't sound like a first-generation
copy at all. I don't have a trained ear but I think it's recorded a bit too slow
as well. The first few tracks are ok, but later on the sound gets worse. It's
obviously recorded from Dutch radio because a few times during the concert a
voice comes on and announces "This is a broadcast by KRO's Rocktempel". It's
quite annoying. U2 play an inspired show. Before "An Cat Dubh" Bono thanks the
festival crowd for having them two years in a row. 2:46 into the song, "Into The
Heart" starts all over again. It seems the bootleggers really liked this song.
Bono holds his regular speech before "Sunday Bloody Sunday". Later on, he says
that today's concert is the last day of a very long world tour that started with
the release of "Boy". He says thanks to everybody on the bill, from Warren Zevon
and Eurythmics to John Cale and Jim Kerr of The Simple Minds. The latter comes
onstage to sing along with "11 O'Clock Tick Tock", which features snippets of
"Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime". According to Pimm Jal's "U2 Live" book "40"
was also played at the concert, but it's missing from this disc. The bonus
tracks from "Old Grey Whistle Test" sound better than the Werchter tracks, but
there's a lot more hiss present. Pimm Jal's book states that "The Ocean" was
played before "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" and it's perfectly possible because there's
a clear edit between the two songs on the CD. I have no idea to why they changed
the order of the tracks. The performance of "Tomorrow" is beautiful, as always.
Such an emotional song. The cover says "For Promotional Use Only". What a joke!
It's just a bootleg like all the others, except that this one's pretty bad.
Since U2's performance at the Werchter festival was televised there will
hopefully be better quality bootlegs of this concert available in the future.

Single color cover insert and tray card. This is a pretty standard set from
1983, but it is of interest because it is the first show ever to surface from
that year's tour of Japan. It's from a clean, but unspectacular, tape source
which appears to be a master cassette. The absence of any hiss or dropouts would
seem to indicate this and the concert ticket pictures on the tray card would
seem to confirm it.

All the frequencies are quite audible, as well as the bass and the high sounds.
The audience reactions are well heard but it's not irritating. The music tops
the audience.
Comments:
This is a very "rare" bootleg. To my knowledge only 25 were printed. The discs
are gold colored, which could indicate that they are made on private CD-Rs. The
disc printing is very plain; only black letters giving the name of the bootleg
and the source. The back of the bootleg says it is made in Milano (Italy) but
when I bought it the shop owner said that the distribution was only in the
Netherlands. This bootleg came together with the Amsterdam 1989 show (also 25
copies). The cover is nice but single-sheeted. The back has the same background.
Two pictures shot by Anton Corbijn during the The Unforgettable Fire photo
session make the artwork worthwhile. The show is strong and solid. The audience
sing along very well. With only 90 minutes of disc space used, the bootleg could
have been filled with another recording, but this is not done.

Comments:
This is an excellent bootleg. The sound quality's extremely good for an audience
recording and the show itself is great too. U2 always enjoy playing The
Netherlands and you can hear it. The band come onstage during "4th Of July"
which is played from a tape. "Wire" has a nice improv at the end, when Bono
repeats the line "I'll take you home tonight" over and over again. He tries to
say something in Dutch before "Surrender", but failes to pronounce it right. The
song features snippets of Van Morrisson's "Gloria", which popped up during
"Exit" on the Joshua Tree Tour. Introducing "A Sort Of Homecoming" Bono thanks
the audience for getting the tickets and waiting in line for so long. During
"Electric Co." he explains what the title means and improvises some lines. "Bad"
is somewhat shorter than most other performances but it sounds superb. "Pride
(In The Name Of Love)" is dedicated to Martin Luther King. "40" and a short bit
of the outro "Theme From Harry's Game" end a beautiful concert. The cover's very
nicely done and there are no mistakes in the track list. Deluxe color cover.
Both CDs are identical; each silver with "U2 When We Were Young" printed in
black on it, and a black silhouette of Bono jumping on one foot. Definitely
smart bootleggers at work here. Only too bad there are no bonus tracks on the
second disc. With only about 45 minutes of music each, both discs are too short.
In my opinion it's the best Unforgettable Fire Tour bootleg available, together
with FOUR AT FOUR. It used to be extremely hard to find, but I'm not sure about
its availability now.

Comments:
Deluxe color digipack package. Very interesting versions of songs from 'The
Unforgettable Fire' songs on the Melbourne tracks. Also a lot of older songs are
played on this bootleg that were never played again on later tours. This CD is
of similar quality to two other excellent CDs from 'The Unforgettable Fire'-era,
THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT and FOUR AT FOUR. Unfortunately, though, this CD has
been mastered at the wrong speed. As a result, the pitch of the Wembley show is
too fast by nearly 1/2 a step. The bonus tracks are even worse; they are off in
pitch by nearly a whole step. If attention to details such as proper pitch
matters to you, and if you have the ears to tell the difference, don't buy this
CD. If, on the other hand, such things don't matter to you, or if you can't tell
the difference anyway, then it is a worthy CD to add to your collection. It's
hard to imagine how anyone could not recognize how bad the bonus tracks are,
though. They sound more like the Chimpunks than U2. Finally, this recording is
*not* from November 14, 1984, as the manufacturer claims. It is from the second
night at Wembley Arena, London, England on November 15, 1984. This CD could have
been terrific, since it's one of the best concerts from the first European leg
of the Unforgettable Fire tour, and it includes (among many other highlights)
some beautiful improvisational scat singing before "Bad" that I've never heard
Bono sing prior to this show or since. It's a shame the manufacturer didn't pay
enough attention to details to get this one right.

Comments:
Disc 2, Track 1 is "Party Girl", followed by "Gloria", both on the same track
for some reason. Disc 1, Track 1 is the studio recording of "4th Of July,"
playing while U2 take the stage. A fine example of U2 live in the mid 80's.
You'll probably find this one a bit difficult to find at this point in time. The
jewel case is a thick double case, and it comes with an 8-page booklet complete
with liner notes and 1985 tour dates. See also TOUCH.

Comments:
This is an excellent show from the The Unforgettable Fire Tour, but it is
missing a few songs in the middle such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday". There is a
live version of "Wire", and during "40", Bono leads the crowd in a "Feed The
World" chant from "Do They Know It's Christmas?". All in all, a good boot.

Comments:
The Chicago performance is also available (in an edited form) on THE FLAME AND
THE FIRE, and PEACE UNDER A CHICAGO SKY. The cover features pictures of Bono,
also used on both CDs. The booklet includes tour dates and a few colored photos.
This is a great show from the Unforgettable Fire tour. The sound is great and
it's a strong show. This is before the band got "mega huge." "I Will Follow"
finds Bono talking to a cameraman present from the local news. "Electric Co."
includes a verse of "Amazing Grace." "Bad" is strong and includes snippets of
"Ruby Tuesday" and "Sympathy For The Devil," both by the Rolling Stones. It's
performances like this that built U2's worldwide fame. The opening act, Red
Rockers, appear with U2 on "40". A great show. The bonus tracks are available in
a more complete form on PARTY AT TIFFANY. Believe it or not, Disc 2 doesn't
sound as good as Disc 1. This could be due to the manufacturer paying less
attention to mastering Disc 2. This is ironic because Disc 2 is just a
continuation of the same concert, so one would really expect the same sound
quality. Disc 1, however, sounds excellent; definitely among the best audience
recordings of U2 from the 1980s. (An example of the difference in sound quality
between Disc 1 and Disc 2 would be exactly like the differences between the
sound quality of ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET (Disc 1) and NEW HORIZON (Disc 2). Hope
this makes sense.). It really sounds preposterous that Disc 2 would sound not as
good as Disc 1, but that is the simple fact. The opening act, Red Rockers,
appear with U2 on "40".

Comments:
Disc 1 through Track 3 of Disc 2 labeled "The Unforgettable Fire Tour". Tracks 4
through 6 of Disc 2 labeled "The Amnesty International Tour". Disc 2, Track 7
through Disc 3, Track 10 labeled "The Joshua Tree Tour". Tracks 11 through 15 on
Disc 3 labeled "Impromptu Tour". Worth every penny I paid. The sound quality on
most of these tracks is amazing. This boxed set is basically a combination of
ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET (Chicago) and THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT (see those for their
respective reviews) as well as parts of ROCK & ROLL STOP THE TRAFFIC and RAIN ON
YOU. Check out all of these reviews to get an idea on this one. Overall, this
bootleg arguably has the best sounding and performance of tours from the 'The
Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree' eras. "October", "Gloria" and "40"
have been omitted from the Chicago performance (most likely due to lack of disc
space). Bono goes into "Do They Know It's Christmas?" during "40". The Chicago
performance of "With Or Without You" includes the extra verse and a snippet of
Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". "Love Rescue Me" is the same
performance as the one on the "Angel of Harlem" CD Single. Each CD is in its own
jewel box. The booklets have the same cover but inside each one are different
pictures of the band. The box cover shows the actual Joshua Tree in a purple and
red atmospheric background (kind of like 'The Joshua Tree' meets 'The
Unforgettable Fire'). My copy will not be for sale anytime soon. Not to be
confused with KEEPING THE FAITH VOLUMES 1 & 2. This is the second of four boxed
sets in the Flying Tigers series, comprising THE NEW WORD - VOL. 1, KEEPING THE
FAITH - VOL. 2, THE FLY - VOL. 3, and RARE TRACKS - VOL. 4.

Comments:
These short but complete sets are in broadcast quality of U2's major 1980's
festival events. This is the exact same boot as TOO MUCH TALK, but this one adds
"Stand By Me" with Bruce Springsteen. Great performances all around. This
bootleg is a CD-R. I have come to theorize that this boot, ROCK 'N' ROLL AIN'T
NOISE POLLUTION! and VEGAS STYLE, are a produced by the same producer because
the cover art and the graphics are similar. Plus, all of them seem to be printed
off an ink jet printer. Furthermore, I bought them all at the same store. Does
anyone know? Scant liner notes and a paper insert with blue a border (UGH!
Couldn't they find some pictures, even I have pictures of U2 at Live Aid!). U2
at its political height. The Live Aid set is great, but The end of a stunning
"Bad" is cut out. It does include snippets of "Walk On The Wild Side." It ends a
little over 12 minutes. This may be due to CDR mastering. This two-song
performance cemented U2's reputation as one of the 80's biggest bands. Despite
the liner notes claim of "short but complete sets," the US Festival material is
only part of a full set that U2 performed. The "Closing Medley" section includes
the DJ narrating Bono's climb to the top of the stage. (Supporting the liner
notes claim of broadcast quality.) The Conspiracy Of Hope material is nice, with
a lot of croud noise. The segue from "MLK" into "Pride (In the Name Of Love)" is
not listed. This is a set with U2 in good form supporting another cause. They
included a dark take on Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm," which includes lines of
John Lennon's "Cold Turkey." The set closes with Bono singing the Beatles'
"Help" and an all-star finale which features appearances by Lou Reed and Little
Steven, among others. The bonus track is from the Joshua Tour's stop in
Philadelphia. Bruce Springsteen joins U2 onstage, as Bono's arm was in a sling
due to a separated shoulder. It has appeared on a few other releases, and was
originally lifted from one of the 'Rattle And Hum' outtakes videos. Good
quality.

Comments:
This is a great CD featuring three of U2's most significant performances etween
the end of the Unforgettable Fire Tour and the release of 'The oshua Tree'. The
CD is indexed rather oddly. "MLK" and "Pride (In The ame Of Love)" are indexed
together, yet "Maggie's Farm" is indexed with single line from John Lennon's
"Cold Turkey" on a separate track. "Bad" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" are
suspiciously missing between Tracks and 9. Little Steven, Nona Hendrix and Lou

Comments:
[Simon Wenmouth]: (Tracks 1-6) A great recording taken, I assume, from a
television broadcast -- track one fades in to an excited commentator and
screaming crowd "Are you having a good time? ... everybody in Ireland is
watching you!". Assuming U2 are the headliners (as they should be) Bono's
starting comments are quite puzzling: "I think we've only got 15 minutes so we'd
better make this quick". They quickly start an energetic performance of "C'mon
Everybody". Before an acoustic rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" Bono makes a
patriotic speech on the unemployment situation (I assume was quite bad at the
time). After "Sunday Bloody Sunday" the CD cuts to later in the performance and
[Bob Dylans] "Maggies Farm". Bono gets a little over excited and at the end
trails into "Old MacDonald had a Farm" (oh dear) before returning to the
original song to Edges guitar distortions. This is where the performance would
have ended but "the man back there says they can do one more". They play
"Bad/Walk On The Wild Side". (Tracks 7-14) "Bad/Walk On The Wild Side" cuts
(quite annoyingly) straight to the the second performance and a short (but nice)
"MLK". The crowd sound close but don't overshadow the music so this was probably
taken off the soundboard. A slight hiss is apparent on these tracks, but is
almost unnoticable. Little Steven and then Lou Reed are guests on "Sun City".
The set ends and then it cuts to [another Bob Dylan song] and "I shall be
released" is played with Sting as guest. Whether this is a encore, which would
explain the cut between tracks, I am not sure. (Bonus tracks 15-16) Keith
Richards provides his guitar (and vocal) talent (?) on "When Love Comes Town".
Bono introduces Ziggy Marley on vocals in "Love Comes To Town". The inside cover
gives us a nice (but poor quality) colour picture of messers Bono, Edge and
Richards. The front cover is a dark picture of Bono at the microphone, the back
cover being individual colour pictures of the group (including one with Edge in
a slighly muddy/rusty white shirt :O)). Also, strangely, behind the CD mount
there's a picture of Bono being less than photogenic, (who, in my opinion, looks
an odd Bill Murray). Unlike the inside cover the other photos are of good
quality.
[Steve]: This bootlegs combines three concerts that were simultaneously
broadcast on radio and television: "Self Aid", "Conspiracy Of Hope finale" and
"Smile Jamaica", all three of them charity gigs. The sound's good throughout,
although The Edge's guitar seems to be a little off during some of the "Self
Aid" tracks. Also, the audience is very loud during the "Conspiracy Of Hope"
performance and some shrieking can be heard. The "Smile Jamaica" songs on the
other hand are of excellent sound quality. The disc starts with Dave Fanning
introducing the band to the Dublin audience. They open the show with "C'Mon
Everybody", a song they've only covered a few times. Before "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" Bono talks about being in a rock and roll band and now knowing what it's
like to be out of work, unlike a lot of the people in the audience. There's a
noticeable edit between "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Maggie's Farm". During the
latter Bono sings about Ireland's unemployment, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
and Dublin's drug problems, incorporating some lines from "Cold Turkey". The
show ends with a short, but great version of "Bad", which includes snippets of
"Walk On The Walk Side". "MLK" is very short, only lasting a little over a
minute and "Bad" is played early in the set. Bono doesn't talk nearly as much as
during "Self Aid". The crowd sing along fanatically to "Help". "Sun City" sounds
fantastic with Little Steven, Nona Hendrix, Ruben Blades and Lou Reed all
singing along with Bono. "I Shall Be Released" is the night's finale, with
everyone who performed that night being onstage. U2 played four songs on "Smile
Jamaica", but only "When Love Comes To Town" and "Love Rescue Me" are on this
bootleg. The latter - with Ziggy Marley - can also be found on U2's "Angel Of
Harlem" single. Keith Richards plays along on both tracks. This disc offers a
great taste of U2's charity appearances in the 80s, with some rare performances
of "C'Mon Everybody", "Maggie's Farm" and "Invisible Sun". The only downside is
that most of the "Self Aid" and "Conspiracy Of Hope" songs are the same.

Comments:
This concert was recorded during the Amnesty International Tour. The CD contains
a long version of "Bad" (nearly 13 minutes) with "Candle In The Wind" and "Biko"
at the end sung two times by Bono, but the drawback is that this track was
artificially lengthened by someone splicing the center section back onto the end
of the song. The Edge plays a very aggressive guitar during "Pride (In The Name
Of Love)," with an unusual amount of "rock" distortion. "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
is played very softly and slowly. Some mistakes on the cover: "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" is written by U2 and not by Lennon/Ono, "Bad" is not by
Castor/Pruitt/Thomas/Gibson. Track 8 is mentioned as "Not So Far Away (Sun
City)" instead of "Sun City". The booklet is minimal with no information
concerning the tour. This is a good document of one of the few shows U2
performed in 1986. Although the sound isn't as crisp as a soundboard, all the
instruments come through very well. Crowd noise, though present, is manageable
and not distracting. There's also quite a few covers here, including a fairly
rare take on "Sun City."

Comments:
These short but complete sets are in broadcast quality of U2's major 1980's
festival events. This is the exact same boot as TOO MUCH TALK, but this one adds
"Stand By Me" with Bruce Springsteen. Great performances all around. This
bootleg is a CD-R. I have come to theorize that this boot, ROCK 'N' ROLL AIN'T
NOISE POLLUTION! and VEGAS STYLE, are a produced by the same producer because
the cover art and the graphics are similar. Plus, all of them seem to be printed
off an ink jet printer. Furthermore, I bought them all at the same store. Does
anyone know? Scant liner notes and a paper insert with blue a border (UGH!
Couldn't they find some pictures, even I have pictures of U2 at Live Aid!). U2
at its political height. The Live Aid set is great, but The end of a stunning
"Bad" is cut out. It does include snippets of "Walk On The Wild Side." It ends a
little over 12 minutes. This may be due to CDR mastering. This two-song
performance cemented U2's reputation as one of the 80's biggest bands. Despite
the liner notes claim of "short but complete sets," the US Festival material is
only part of a full set that U2 performed. The "Closing Medley" section includes
the DJ narrating Bono's climb to the top of the stage. (Supporting the liner
notes claim of broadcast quality.) The Conspiracy Of Hope material is nice, with
a lot of croud noise. The segue from "MLK" into "Pride (In the Name Of Love)" is
not listed. This is a set with U2 in good form supporting another cause. They
included a dark take on Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm," which includes lines of
John Lennon's "Cold Turkey." The set closes with Bono singing the Beatles'
"Help" and an all-star finale which features appearances by Lou Reed and Little
Steven, among others. The bonus track is from the Joshua Tour's stop in
Philadelphia. Bruce Springsteen joins U2 onstage, as Bono's arm was in a sling
due to a separated shoulder. It has appeared on a few other releases, and was
originally lifted from one of the 'Rattle And Hum' outtakes videos. Good

Portions of this CD were probably mastered from a vinyl source, since here is
some static on a few of the tracks.
Comments:
This is a great CD featuring three of U2's most significant performances etween
the end of the Unforgettable Fire Tour and the release of 'The oshua Tree'. The
CD is indexed rather oddly. "MLK" and "Pride (In The ame Of Love)" are indexed
together, yet "Maggie's Farm" is indexed with single line from John Lennon's
"Cold Turkey" on a separate track. "Bad" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" are
suspiciously missing between Tracks and 9. Little Steven, Nona Hendrix and Lou
Reed appear on Track 12. The "Live Aid" tracks are excellent.

Comments:
The Tempe concert is the second concert of the Joshua Tree Tour, Bono had voice
problems on the first concert but he sings well in this show. During "Where The
Streets Have No Name", he shouts, "I can sing!" The version of "Bullet The Blue
Sky" ends in a strange way, but the other songs are nicely played. There are a
lot of covers in "Bad" (from The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, etc.) and the bonus
tracks are very interesting because you can find some rarely-performed songs
like "Lucille" and "Mothers Of The Disappeared" (which is a good version). The
cover lists "Sympathy for The Devil" as "Street-Fighting Man".

Comments:
This bootleg features the second show on the first leg of the Joshua Tree Tour.
Subsequently most new songs (back then!) sound somewhat different than the live
versions later in the tour. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was
played very early in the show (2nd song), without a speech by Bono. However,
Bono talks about the influence American music had on their music during the
intro of "A Sort Of Homecoming". "Maggie Farm" makes a rather unexpected
appearance. U2 only played it live during the few first shows of this tour and
on some other special occasions, like "Self Aid" in 1986. "Bad" is quite long
and includes snippets from "John, I'm Only Dancing", "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday",
"Sympathy For The Devil", "Candle In The Wind" and "Take A Walk On The Wild
Side". Maybe the most special song is "With Or Without You", which is performed
live for the first time ever, as indicated by Bono. "We'll shine like stars" and
snippets of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" appear at the end of the song. "New Year's
Day" is the first track on the second disc and there are no noticeable edits, so
I assume it was played that night. However, Pimm Jal doesn't mention the song in
his "U2 Live" book. Before "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" Bono talks about Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and why April 4 is such a special day for America and the
world. Bono introduces "People Get Ready" as an old American song and invites
the crowd to sing along. Unfortunately most people in the audience don't know
the words. During the song Bono thanks the crowd and talks about TIME Magazine,
which will have U2 on the cover soon afterwards. Unfortunately this is where the
disc fades out. The sound is good to very good for an audience recording. You
can hear people screaming and clapping in between and during the songs, but
they're never louder than the band. This concert can also be found on GOVERNOR
MECHAM & MLK, with the end of "People Get Ready". The thing that makes JOSHUA
TREE IN FLAMES stand out are the first 2 bonus tracks. It's a short live
performance by The Dalton Brothers, U2 acting as their own opening act. Hearing
Bono and The Edge try to speak in these thick southern accents is hilarious,
just as hearing some people in the audience shout "You suck!" and "Get the hell
off the stage". Little did they know. :-) The next bonus tracks are not so
interesting, as their sound quality is not so good. The last 4 songs can be
found, in much better sound quality, on JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE.

Comments:
U2 perform extremely well this night. I love bootlegs recorded early on their
tours, especially on nights where everything comes together. This night's
performance is flawless, and it's great to hear those April '87 bootlegs where
the setlist changed appreciably from night to night. The copy I have comes in
after The Edge has already started chiming in with Streets. After that we plunge
right into Still Haven't Found (still one month away from release as a single!),
with a version of Exodus tacked on that's much more Marley-like than future
versions by the band. Bullet is marked by jabs at televangelists, and Bono
squeezes in a commentary about the Seven Towers before sliding into A Sort Of
Homecoming (pretty rare for The Joshua Tree Tour). Exit is sweetened by a
harmonica bit at the end, I'd never heard that before. Bad has a great feel to
it, Bono does a bit of improv here. U2 play their hearts out on the new hit
single With Or Without You, before the requisite New Year's Day and Pride. MLK
and UF appear very late in the set. Interestingly, Trip Through Your Wires is an
encore if I'm not mistaken. Here, Bono tries a Frank Sinatra impersonation on
the verse after the guitar bridge and it doesn't work well. The band close with
the anthemic "40". The sound quality is audience, but people can only be heard
talking once or twice, and after Streets, the sound is really pretty good. Sound
does have that boomy reverb feel of an 80's audience recording, but it's still
worth it! The show is great.

quick note, on this same night, the video for "I Still Haven't Found What I'm

is similar to Viva's I WILL FOLLOW, but has more tracks.

Comments:
This bootleg is quite similar to NEW HORIZON, but not as crystal clear as Red
Phantom's ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, both of which were taped only 4 days after this
one. The show is complete and features some surprises, like a performance of
"Springhill Mining Disaster" (without interruption) and a woman coming on stage
to talk about Amnesty International during "Pride (In The Name Of Love." It also
has one of the best renditions of "With Or Without You" (including "Love Will
Tear Us Apart") I've ever heard. This a great first-leg Joshua Tree Tour boot.
Most of the tracks from the soundcheck can also be found on LUCILLE. Great show,
great CD. Bono seems to talk a lot during this concert, offering some
explanations for songs and a very moving speech in the middle of "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" (see Pimm Jal de la Parra's 'U2 Live- A Concert Documentary' for a more
complete run down of what Bono says). The show has some exceptional
performances, such as "Bad." "Springhill Mining Disaster" is the second U2
performance of it ever. "The Unforgettable Fire" is the same one used in ULTRA
RARE TRACKS VOL 3. The soundcheck they throw in at the end is a nice bonus, but
the sound on those is really bad and you cannot understand Bono at all. Even if
you have other Joshua Tree Tour shows on CD, this is really worth having. There
was a great audience for U2 to work with that night. This bootleg is comparable
to Red Phantom's masterpiece ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET for sure. It is definitely
better than NEW HORIZON in terms of its sharpness and crispness (or brightness
of tone, sharpness of the drums, cymbals and vocals and just generally the kind
of clarity and presence you get from a master generation tape that's done really
well). THE JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE was mastered exceptionally well, and must be made
from a master tape (unlike NEW HORIZON, which, oddly enough, is on this same
label, Flashback). THE JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE is certainly a fantastic companion to
ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, and one that seems to be readily available at the moment
(unlike ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, which is now out of print. The only major
difference between the two is that the sound on THE JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE is a bit
more distant and higher on the treble end than ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. Otherwise,
they're comparable in quality. This is easily one of the most crisp and detailed
audience bootlegs of U2 in existence. The drum and cymbal clarity are awesome
and Bono's voice and the band's performance are in top form. The bass may be a
bit too low and the treble a little higher, but slight adjustments to the
equalizer reveal no loss in quality if the bass volume is increased. The tone
and detail remains consistent, unlike other boots. Jeff Shirkey and Lee Ellen
contributed to this review.

U2 put on a great show for Glasgow. Bono refers to "Lucille" as "the first
country song we ever wrote". The soundcheck is an interesting bonus, even though
the sound quality is not great. Track 8 of Disc 2 is mainly instrumental, then
Bono sings a couple of lines of The Doors' classic. Tracks 10 and 12 of Disc 2
are unreleased songs and both are fairly decent (the titles were presumably
invented by the bootlegger). Track 13 of Disc 2 is labeled as "acoustic
version", but it isn't (although the drums are missing and Edge is playing a
different riff).

Comments:
[Adrian Elmer]: This disc is another version of RDS Showgrounds show in Dublin
during the ZooTV Tour (See ZOOROPA 1993, 10" REELS, ZOO EUROPA etc.). It has
excellent sound, but a few drawbacks. As well as the lack of track indexing, it
also starts with the familiar guitar sounds of Zoo Station, omitting all the
intro sound found on ZOOROPA 1993. It also only covers the first half of the
show. The bonus tracks are good quality, but can be found as part of the
complete concert on ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. The sound of them on this CD is a
little bottom heavy after hearing the pristine sound of the Dublin show, but
turning down the bass level on the stereo leaves the sound clear. A good CD, but
get ZOOROPA 1993 and ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET if you can to hear these tracks in a
better context. Also, this CD is not indexed.

Comments:
Tracks 10 and 11 of CD 2 feature Bob Dylan. The Rosemont Horizon concert appears
without Disc 2, Tracks 9-11 on Red Phantom's ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. This
presentation offers a lot less in sound quality (less range and tone) than Red
Phantom's ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. There also is a lot of hiss throughout this
bootleg. I am not sure if this is the same source as Red Phantom's ROCK'S
HOTTEST TICKET, but is definitely lower in sound quality. If you can't find than
Red Phantom's ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, you're be better off buying Flashback's
JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE rather than this sub-par offering. They basically have the
same setlist and are one show (four days) apart.

recording is really good, although it's audience, but the concert itself is one
of the bests ever. U2 seems to have a love for Chicago, and Bono isn't shy to
tell the crowd (and they love it). When he says during 'Pride (In The Name Of
Love)', "...I remember very much Chicago. One, because I think U2 played well
that night, it was good... and two, because... you're so noisy!" The crowd, as
Bono obviously planned, goes nuts and screams their heads off! "In the name of
love!!!..." Bono continues. And during "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For", when Bono chants "People dancing to a U2 song, I don't believe this!"
Everyone eats it up, dancing and screaming like they never have before. I guess
what I'm trying to say is that this is just a damn good (audience participating)
concert. If you can find it, and loved the Joshua Tree days (as one must),
you'll love this! Feel free to argue with me about this.

loud enough to be annoying at times.
Comments:
This CD set is not all that great. Disc 1 is fair and Disc 2 is pretty neat, but
annoying. The songs on the Disc 2 are a good collection. The three demos are
interesting, taken from radio broadcasts, with an announcer speaking after each
song. I've never heard them before and at the time I got the CDs, those tracks
were the earliest work I'd ever heard from the band. "Tonight" is from a very
early, rough demo. "Trevor" is for the Dave Fanning Rock Show, and "Out Of
Control" was recorded after winning a talent contest. I think I paid $50 for
this 2CD set. Not worth that I think, but I don't know how "rare" the recordings
on Disc 2 are. I ended up sending this 2CD set back and trading it for NEW
HORIZON, which I absolutely love.

more tracks from the show in Gothenburg. Missing tracks from the June 6, 1987,
Gothenburg, Sweden show are: "Running To Stand Still," "Exit," "In God's
Country," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Bad" and "40." You'd better keep waiting for
a CD containing the complete show. Colored cover with yellow "U2" logo, "Free
For All" printed in green and a lilac / red star. All pictures used for the
4-sided booklet were taken from the book "U2 Live - A Concert Documentary." The
CD is printed in blue with red lettering. This is a European bootleg. The cover

The cover incorrectly lists the source for all tracks as June 29th, but U2
played Croke Park on the 27th and 28th only. Plenty of cover versions make this
an enjoyable listen. Not to be confused with the 2CD set of the same name on the
Red Phantom label, or the 2 separate CDs from Golden Stars. Track 12 is "MLK",
not "Rain", as it is incorrectly listed on the back cover.
This is one of two of the original pressings on this label.

but it too has been edited out. These edits were probably made in order to allow
this performance to fit onto one disc. The CD itself is a picture disc. This CD

Comments:
U2 put on a great show for Glasgow. Bono refers to "Lucille" as "the first
country song we ever wrote". The soundcheck is an interesting bonus, even though
the sound quality is not great. Track 8 of Disc 2 is mainly instrumental, then
Bono sings a couple of lines of The Doors' classic. Tracks 10 and 12 of Disc 2
are unreleased songs and both are fairly decent (the titles were presumably
invented by the bootlegger). Track 13 of Disc 2 is labeled as "acoustic
version", but it isn't (although the drums are missing and Edge is playing a
different riff).

Excellent audience. This CD has been mastered from a vinyl source, thus some
pops and ticks can be heard.
Comments:
An excellent performance that marks the last date of the 1987 European tour, as
well as the The Edge's 27th birthday. During "People Get Ready", Bono pulls an
audience member onto the stage to play his guitar. He also explains how The Edge
has been giving him guitar lessons. "Exit" doesn't segue into U2's "Gloria", but
rather into the Van Morrison song of the same title.

The CD incorrectly says July 28, 1987.
Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard.
Comments:
Like the title implies, it was a mixing desk recording (i.e. the sound you hear
is the sound that came through the PA). U2 were furious when the found out about
a leaked out concert recording. Paul McGuinnes later stated that the soundcrew
responsible for recording it, AND selling it, were immediatly fired. So, not
always is it the fans who make illegimate material, U2's crew did it, and I even
try to believe U2 themselves does it. In the later case I'm talking about the
'Salome' outtakes and the two supposedly "stolen" fragments of the album 'Pop'
which appeared on the internet, as we all know. This is a decent soundboard
recording. The band does not put on a great concert, and they know it. Edge
messes up during the "bridge" of "Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World "
and the band messes up "Dancing Queen" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For" (Disc 2, Track 3). The bonus tracks are a nice addition. "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (Disc 2, Track 14) is performed with the New
Voices Of Freedom, and is the same version as the version on 'Rattle And Hum'.

Comments:
First off, let me say that I would STRONGLY recommend this set. While this CD
set, on the surface, seems to be a copy of the bootleg ENJOY, I would have to
disagree. I think the sound quality of these tracks is a bit superior to those
found on ENJOY. This is definitely a complete, excellent set from The Joshua
Tree Tour. It is one of the nights that was recorded for the film 'Rattle And
Hum'. In fact, I am led to believe that it is taken directly from the video
outtakes from 'Rattle And Hum' that have circulated for years. There is a slight
hiss throughout the entire Denver tracks, but it is barely noticeable. The
quality of the recording of the tracks more than compensates. Some would argue
that this is superior to ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. I would say that the quality of
this recording is better-sounding than ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, but the slight
hiss and the fact that there are gaps (presumably crowd noise) between some of
the tracks (and also in the middle of "October") make me feel otherwise. This is
a bit annoying, but you can definitely live with it. To hear some of the slight
flaws in this recording, one must don a pair of headphones. This is how I
discovered a slight "rolling" sound present on some of the tracks (typical for
bootlegs dubbed from a videotape). I would describe the transition between
tracks as "choppy", with "stops" and "starts" like that of a "pause" button on a
stereo. The package is alright, except for the fact that this is a Joshua Tree
Tour bootleg, and the cover is from the 'Achtung Baby' era. Also, the track
listing is incorrect for the bonus tracks on Disc 2 (Tracks 7-15). The ones
listed above are correct. This set is most notable for the tracks "Helter
Skelter", "Help", "Silver And Gold", and "Spanish Eyes", all in rich soundboard
stereo. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the slow version, much like the one found on
"Rattle And Hum", and "With Or Without You" has no added or extra verses tacked
on at the end. "Mothers Of The Disappeared" is cut off at the end, but all of
the Tempe, Arizona tracks on this set can be found on the bootleg 1-800-U2-LIVE
with slightly better sound quality. The tracks from New York are
widely-available on other bootlegs as well. All of the tracks are from video
outtakes from 'Rattle And Hum'. In conclusion, let me say that this CD set has
great sound, and makes a terrific companion set to ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, which
I feel is a bit superior. Bono is very talkative throughout this great
performance. While the quality of this is not like that of 'ZOO EUROPA, it is
still a great sounding bootleg from The Joshua Tree Tour. A wise investment,
indeed.

Comments:
The sound quality of this bootleg is pretty bad. The music sounds super dull as
if taped from a great distance away. After a few minutes one gets a bit used to
it, but it stays very annoying. I suspect the audience noise may have been
partially filtered out because the recording sound artificial. Bono shoutes
"Action! Roll!" at the beginning of "Where The Streets Have No Name", hence the
title. There's a noticeable edit between this song and "I Will Follow". Bono
introduces "I Trip Through Your Wires" as a song "that says it all for me now".
He talks about American music during the intro to "I Still Haven't Found What
I'm Looking For", which he think is kind of a gospel song in its own way. "MLK"
is dedicated to Martin Luther King. As common during this tour, snippets of
"Gloria" are added to "Exit". "Help" is dedicated to Winnie Mandela and all the
other people involved in the struggle against apartheid. While Bono invites a
girl onstage to play the guitar, The Edge desperately tries to encourage the
audience to sing the lines of "People Get Ready", but fails. Bono holds a weird
speech about American campusses during "Bad", which doesn't include the usual
snippets. At the end of "Bullet The Blue Sky" he talks about walking on the
Syracuse campus and seeing a large building with the wind blowing through
because of a rock and roll band playing inside. He explains that "Running To
Stand Still" is a true story about some people he knew. A great version of "With
Or Without You" includes the "We'll shine like stars"-part and is almost seven
minutes long. The bonus tracks are from the second night at Madison Square
Garden. They sound quite a bit better than the Syracuse tracks, but not great.
Although tracks are left out, there are no noticeable edits between songs.
"Running To Stand Still" is the tenth track on Disc 2, instead of "In God's
Country" as printed on the back cover. Bono again talks about the two people he
knew and whose story inspired the song. "With Or Without" doesn't feature any
extra lines.
The cardboard package and the picture discs all look very nice, but don't let it
fool you. The concert itself is great with a very talkative Bono, but the bad
sound ruins it. It's a real pity. If you want a good Joshua Tree concert, buy
ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET, JOSHUA TREE ON FIRE, LUCILLE or MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS
instead.

Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard. There is some static on a few tracks (particularly
"October") and some of the high frequencies are cut off slightly, however both
are minor problems. The CD is still great to listen to. The bonus tracks are of
good quality.
Comments:
The band puts on a great performance for Denver. During the set, Bono briefly
mentions the Red Rocks show they played over 4 years ago. The bootleg claims the
source was the November 8 show. See also MCNICHOL'S ARENA. As for the "bonus
tracks", they are recordings (about 35 minutes worth) of Bono and Edge working
on a song or two with acoustic guitars, with the "help" of Jimmy Iovine (not
Daniel Lanois, as is claimed on the packaging). These recordings were pulled
straight from one of the 'Rattle And Hum' outtakes videos. At the beginning of
the session, they're listening to a tape of some U2 studio sessions, then they
begin changing it around and experimenting. The song is "She's Gonna Blow Your
House Down", which appears on the SALOME 'Achtung Baby' outtakes (Disc 2, Tracks
8,9,11). Edge begins playing "Van Diemen's Land", without lyrics, although it
seems is if he hasn't quite finished it yet. All in all, a pretty interesting
recording.

Sound Quality:
Good soundboard. The sound quality could be better, but the cymbals and other
high-pitched sounds are much more prominent than the midrange and bass. The use
of an equalizer can rectify the problem.
Comments:
Unfortunately, this CD is not indexed, making it impossible to quickly jump from
track-to-track. This performance, along with the following night, at McNichols
Arena were filmed for possible use in the movie 'Rattle And Hum'. Bono announces
the band's sudden decision to venture from the prearranged song sequence by
yelling, "Fuck the film! 'I Will Follow'!". Same as Mongoose Records' MCNICHOLS
ARENA.

Comments:
This nicely documents U2's notorious 'Save The Yuppie' concert. A comparison
between "All Along The Watchtower" on this disc, and the "finished" version on
the 'Rattle And Hum' album, reveal that some post production took place. The
'Rattle And Hum' version has an edit out of the middle of the song, as well as
an added guitar into. Bono actually spray painted the fountain during "Pride (In
The Name Of Love)", not during "All Along The Watchtower" as was implied in the
'Rattle And Hum' film. See also: ROCK & ROLL STOP THE TRAFFIC.

about half way through the song. A good investment, if you can find it, from the

This is the best U2 bootleg that I have. It is almost the same as MORE POLITICS,
but this one actually has "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Bullet The Blue Sky"
on it. I searched long and hard for it and felt well-rewarded. The New Year's
concert was enough but adding the "Save The Yuppies" show is a true bonus. A
treasure.

Sound Quality::

Comments:
Arguably, the best U2 concert bootleg in terms of sound quality and show
content. The show begins with David Fanning broadcasting from the show and
introducing U2 as "...the band who started in this city 10 years ago and the
band who's dominated the 80's. It's a New Year's party and the live band is U2!"
amidst great fanfare from the cheering audience. A quick fade which edits out
the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" and Fanning counts down the last seconds
until midnight as bells ring and Bono sings a few lines of "Auld Land Syne"
during the intro to "Where The Streets Have No Name". Although the set list is
somewhat routine for The Lovetown Tour, powerful versions of "Where The Streets
have No Name ", "I Will Follow", "One Tree Hill", and "New Year's Day" are
performed. Many highlights include the first few lines of "All I Want Is You"
perfectly segueing into "Bad". The sound mix for this show is actually better
then the original broadcast of the show which leads to the possible conclusion
that the recording is from the master tape of the show. The second disc is
filled out with the complete "Save The Yuppies" free concert from San Francisco
on November 11, 1987. The source is an excellent audience tape. I do not know if
this particular recording has been used as the source for other discs such as
HAPPY NEW YEAR, which this package reportedly is identical to in sound and
sources. The 2CD set is enclosed in a double CD jewel case with somewhat dark
photo of the band from 'The Joshua Tree' era on the cover and a small folded
insert illustrated with several color and black and white photos and a
reproduction of the ticket from that night's show plus the track listing. My
only (very minor) quibbles are the tiny type used for the track listings on the
back cover over a color photo of The Edge which is nearly impossible to read and
the over-zealous indexing of songs. When this set was released in 1992, ICE
Magazine which reports on new CD bootlegs in a column entitled 'Going
Underground' that this bootleg would rate in the "top ten bootleg hall of fame".
There is no label information on this 2CD set but there are two prints with
different CDs. The first issue was with "2 IRISH ON TOUR" printed on the CDs,
and the second print was printed with "GoGo Rose Garden Here Again" on the CDs.
This is one of two of the original pressings on this label.

Very good recording, but not excellent. This was recorded at the "Save The
Yuppies" free concert in San Francisco, as seen in the movie, 'Rattle And Hum'.
Pride (In The Name Of Love) is extended because Bono takes that little trip to
do some spraypainting. You learn how Bono manages to run and sing at the same
time as shown in the film version of 'Rattle And Hum'. The unique thing about
this bootleg is that it has a real "outdoor" feel that is fun, much like a
concert at your local park. Bono entertains with a "telethon" kinda theme. This
is a Japanese bootleg.

Fair audience.
Comments:
The setlist is pretty standard for a Joshua Tree concert, but the band were
obviously in good shape. The Edge's guitar fails in the middle of "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". While he fixes the problem, Bono and Adam
keep on going which results in an interesting version of the song. At the
beginning of "Out Of Control" Bono introduces René Castro and his group of
artists, who then come onstage to spray-paint the backdrop. "Exit" sounds
haunting with Adam's heavy bass, and features snippets of The Door's "Riders On
The Storm" as well as Van Morrisson's "Gloria". The song sequences right into a
very short version of "Silver And Gold". As usual, someone comes onstage to play
the guitar on "People Get Ready". Afterwards the guy seems to have problems
getting off the stage since Bono has to show him the way back into the audience.
"Help" is sung a capella and "Bad" has snippets of Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild
Side". "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" is dedicated to another of the
peace-makers, Martin Luther King. During "Bullet The Blue Sky", Bono speaks
about San Francisco's art district where he met René Castro. Tonight's
performance of "Running To Stand Still" is very emotional, with Bono explaining
about the two Dubliners whose true story this song is based upon. "Stand By Me"
is played in its entirety, which is very rare. Usually it's only a short version
to open a concert. During the song, Bono asks for a few good character
references from the audience members since he's scared about going to court over
the graffiti-incident. Luckily it never happened. Before "40" Bono holds a
lengthy speech about people who disappeared in Central and South America. At one
point he gets very angry at an audience member and swears at him, but apologises
directly afterwards. It puts a bit of a damper on the end of a good show.

Comments:
This is one of two original pressings of this bootleg, but with *much* better
sound quality. The original was rated "Fair audience" and this one is "Excellent
audience". One can hardly hear the audience during the songs and even in between
there's only a bit of clapping and screaming.

Sound quality-wise this is one of the best Joshua Tree bootlegs around. The
concert itself is very good too. Too bad Bono can't shut up about the
graffiti-incident which happened at the Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco
only four days earlier.
There are a lot of errors in the track listing. "A Trip Thru Your Wire" should
be "Trip Through Your Wires", "Out Of Control" is mislabeled as "Into The Heart"
and "Running Or Without You" is in fact "Running To Stand Still".

Comments:
First off, on the down side of this recording, there are some slight skips
during the performance of "Bad." It is obvious (from the date of the concert and
from the performance of "Helter Skelter") one of the possible shows cut from the
Rattle & Hum movie. It is a high-energy concert with several highlights. It is a
very good addition for those U2 collectors out there. Some of the highlights of
the show include Bono talking about hearing the New Voices of Freedom perform "I
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" in the small, Harlem church. Another
highlight of this show is Bono making harsh statements about former President
Ronald Reagan. During his infamous "dictation" in "Bullet The Blue Sky," Bono
says, "What's this I hear about a peace plan in Central America? Yeah, that
sounds like it's got a lot of common sense going for it. Yeah, no problem. What
do you mean, there is a problem? What's the problem? Ronald Reagan's the
problem... that's the problem." The crowd cheers a bit here. Bono continues,
"Well, listen Ronald Reagan, I think the people of America like it just where
they are... I don't think they want to move to El Salvador or Nicaragua. They
like it here! So, tell you what, I got a good idea: why don't we let the
Nicaraguans look after Nicaragua, we let the El Salvadorians out after El
Salvador, and the people of Los Angeles and the people of the United States will
look after that. Hey!" The crowd goes balistic. Also, Bono adds about 4 extra
lines at the end of "Running To Stand Still" that I have never heard before, and
I have listened to a lot of U2 bootlegs.

Comments:
First of all, the title LIVE AND DEMOS FROM 1978-1986 is incorrect. This is the
entire show (with "Bad" repeated on Disc 2) for Los Angeles on November 18,
1987. I was confused at first because Bono mentions Oakland Coliseum during
"Bad" (maybe he forgot where he was), but the references to the balloons that he
let go during the song while saying, "Just let it go..." matched the reference
to this show in the book "U2 Live: A Concert Documentary". Disc 2, Track 10 is
performed with Bruce Springsteen on vocals and guitar and is from the September
25, 1987 show at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, PA.

Comments:
The inside of the cover has color photos of the band in concert, propably from
the show or one of The Joshua Tree Tour shows. The CD also contains the Spanish
version of "Mother's Of The Disappeared". This is the sixth time "Mothers Of The
Disappeared" is played and not the second (although Bono says so). Bono has a
great time instructing the crowd what to sing. He also adds a couple of lines
from "Drowning Man" as part of his ad-lib. [According to Pimm Jal de la Parra's
'U2 Live- A Concert Documentary', this is definitely the December 19th show. On
the other hand, this version of "With Or Without You" is, as far as I can tell,
the same as the version that appeared in the 'Rattle And Hum' movie, which was
claimed to have been recorded on the 20th. At least this lays to rest claims
that the Rattle And Hum version was not really live].

Comments:
[Simon Wenmouth]: (Tracks 1-6) A great recording taken, I assume, from a
television broadcast -- track one fades in to an excited commentator and
screaming crowd "Are you having a good time? ... everybody in Ireland is
watching you!". Assuming U2 are the headliners (as they should be) Bono's
starting comments are quite puzzling: "I think we've only got 15 minutes so we'd
better make this quick". They quickly start an energetic performance of "C'mon
Everybody". Before an acoustic rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" Bono makes a
patriotic speech on the unemployment situation (I assume was quite bad at the
time). After "Sunday Bloody Sunday" the CD cuts to later in the performance and
[Bob Dylans] "Maggies Farm". Bono gets a little over excited and at the end
trails into "Old MacDonald had a Farm" (oh dear) before returning to the
original song to Edges guitar distortions. This is where the performance would
have ended but "the man back there says they can do one more". They play
"Bad/Walk On The Wild Side". (Tracks 7-14) "Bad/Walk On The Wild Side" cuts
(quite annoyingly) straight to the the second performance and a short (but nice)
"MLK". The crowd sound close but don't overshadow the music so this was probably
taken off the soundboard. A slight hiss is apparent on these tracks, but is
almost unnoticable. Little Steven and then Lou Reed are guests on "Sun City".
The set ends and then it cuts to [another Bob Dylan song] and "I shall be
released" is played with Sting as guest. Whether this is a encore, which would
explain the cut between tracks, I am not sure. (Bonus tracks 15-16) Keith
Richards provides his guitar (and vocal) talent (?) on "When Love Comes Town".
Bono introduces Ziggy Marley on vocals in "Love Comes To Town". The inside cover
gives us a nice (but poor quality) colour picture of messers Bono, Edge and
Richards. The front cover is a dark picture of Bono at the microphone, the back
cover being individual colour pictures of the group (including one with Edge in
a slighly muddy/rusty white shirt :O)). Also, strangely, behind the CD mount
there's a picture of Bono being less than photogenic, (who, in my opinion, looks
an odd Bill Murray). Unlike the inside cover the other photos are of good
quality.
[Steve]: This bootlegs combines three concerts that were simultaneously
broadcast on radio and television: "Self Aid", "Conspiracy Of Hope finale" and
"Smile Jamaica", all three of them charity gigs. The sound's good throughout,
although The Edge's guitar seems to be a little off during some of the "Self
Aid" tracks. Also, the audience is very loud during the "Conspiracy Of Hope"
performance and some shrieking can be heard. The "Smile Jamaica" songs on the
other hand are of excellent sound quality. The disc starts with Dave Fanning
introducing the band to the Dublin audience. They open the show with "C'Mon
Everybody", a song they've only covered a few times. Before "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" Bono talks about being in a rock and roll band and now knowing what it's
like to be out of work, unlike a lot of the people in the audience. There's a
noticeable edit between "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Maggie's Farm". During the
latter Bono sings about Ireland's unemployment, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
and Dublin's drug problems, incorporating some lines from "Cold Turkey". The
show ends with a short, but great version of "Bad", which includes snippets of
"Walk On The Walk Side". "MLK" is very short, only lasting a little over a
minute and "Bad" is played early in the set. Bono doesn't talk nearly as much as
during "Self Aid". The crowd sing along fanatically to "Help". "Sun City" sounds
fantastic with Little Steven, Nona Hendrix, Ruben Blades and Lou Reed all
singing along with Bono. "I Shall Be Released" is the night's finale, with
everyone who performed that night being onstage. U2 played four songs on "Smile
Jamaica", but only "When Love Comes To Town" and "Love Rescue Me" are on this
bootleg. The latter - with Ziggy Marley - can also be found on U2's "Angel Of
Harlem" single. Keith Richards plays along on both tracks. This disc offers a
great taste of U2's charity appearances in the 80s, with some rare performances
of "C'Mon Everybody", "Maggie's Farm" and "Invisible Sun". The only downside is
that most of the "Self Aid" and "Conspiracy Of Hope" songs are the same.

Same as ROCK & ROLL STOP THE TRAFFIC. A fantastic CD. Great packaging, great
sound, and a combination of unique performances. Keith Richards appears on
Tracks 15 and 16. Ziggy Marley appears on track 16. "C'mon Everybody" fades out
about half way through the song. A good investment, if you can find it, from the
now-defunct Australian Applehouse family (Joker and Banana).
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
Disc 1 through Track 3 of Disc 2 labeled "The Unforgettable Fire Tour". Tracks 4
through 6 of Disc 2 labeled "The Amnesty International Tour". Disc 2, Track 7
through Disc 3, Track 10 labeled "The Joshua Tree Tour". Tracks 11 through 15 on
Disc 3 labeled "Impromptu Tour". Worth every penny I paid. The sound quality on
most of these tracks is amazing. This boxed set is basically a combination of
ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET (Chicago) and THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT (see those for their
respective reviews) as well as parts of ROCK & ROLL STOP THE TRAFFIC and RAIN ON
YOU. Check out all of these reviews to get an idea on this one. Overall, this
bootleg arguably has the best sounding and performance of tours from the 'The
Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree' eras. "October", "Gloria" and "40"
have been omitted from the Chicago performance (most likely due to lack of disc
space). Bono goes into "Do They Know It's Christmas?" during "40". The Chicago
performance of "With Or Without You" includes the extra verse and a snippet of
Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". "Love Rescue Me" is the same
performance as the one on the "Angel of Harlem" CD Single. Each CD is in its own
jewel box. The booklets have the same cover but inside each one are different
pictures of the band. The box cover shows the actual Joshua Tree in a purple and
red atmospheric background (kind of like 'The Joshua Tree' meets 'The
Unforgettable Fire'). My copy will not be for sale anytime soon. Not to be
confused with KEEPING THE FAITH VOLUMES 1 & 2. This is the second of four boxed
sets in the Flying Tigers series, comprising THE NEW WORD - VOL. 1, KEEPING THE
FAITH - VOL. 2, THE FLY - VOL. 3, and RARE TRACKS - VOL. 4.

Comments:
The band was in fine form this night; it seems as if Bono had something to prove
after canceling shows in Sydney a week earlier. In fact, Bono was so hyped up
that he tumbled off the stage during "I Will Follow." The show itself is only
let down by a few edits at the beginning of "Where The Streets Have No Name,"
"Bad," and at the end of "40," but otherwise, it is a good offering. The band
performed almost all the 'Rattle And Hum' material they would ever do, including
"God Part 2," "All I Want Is You," "All Along The Watchtower," "Angel Of
Harlem," "Love Rescue Me," and "When Love Comes To Town." As an added bonus,
Edge also performed "Van Diemen's" Land and Bono inserted snippets of "Norwegian
Wood," "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," and "Walk On The Wild Side" into
"Bad." The bootlegger has also added a few extra tracks from the Sydney show one
month later. This includes a brilliant performance of "Hawkmoon 269," which was
only played on this leg of the tour. This tour remains the last one they
undertook before the band totally overhauled itself and re-invented itself with
'Achtung Baby' and Zoo TV. Contains the entire Adelaide show, from a soundboard
tape. Bear in mind that Bono was having voice problems during the Adelaide show,
especially evidenced during "Bad" where he loses his voice, coughs and
apologizes for having no vocal range. Disc 2, Tracks 3-5, 10 and 11 feature BB
King and his band. Disc 2 Tracks 8-11 were taken from the an Australian Lovetown
special. Additional comments and info needed on this bootleg.

but it too has been edited out. These edits were probably made in order to allow
this performance to fit onto one disc. The CD itself is a picture disc. This CD
is also sold separately. See also: FOUR AT FOUR, and PEACE UNDER A CHICAGO SKY.

Comments:
First and foremost, don't waste you cash on this one, kids. I payed $35 for this
back in 1992, and it was not worth it. All you can hear is a muffled Bono (a
result of laryngitis and bad microphone) and the audience's stomping and
clapping; hence, the name "feel the noise." Edge's guitars are completely
absent. The only thing I really liked about this bootleg was the tracklisting.
It captures U2 at their peak and live - the best way to experience them. This CD
is the same as WHEN U2 COMES TO TOWN. The disc itself features a picture of Bono
holding the microphone, with his arms raised over his head. B.B. King appears on
Tracks 12-14. The cover incorrectly lists the source as "Du Kuippe Arena,
Rotterdam, 1989."

Comments:
This CD contains U2's entire performance from December 16, 1989. Track 17 is
simply Bono singing the words to "In The Midnight Hour", while the rest of the
band continue playing "When Love Comes To Town". "Gloria" is played and indexed
on the CD, despite not being listed on the cover. B.B. King appears on Tracks
15-18. Overall, this is a high-energy performance from both U2 and the audience.
Bono best sums up the evening when saying, "Now that's what I call a positive
riot!".

Sound Quality :
Good audience.
Comments:
Only a limited number of copies of this bootleg exist. A decent recording with a
noisy audience. This is from the Love Town tour that followed the release of
'Rattle And Hum.' "Hawkmoon 269" contains a nasty edit about two minutes in.
This is unfortunate, because this song is only performed a few times on this
tour. It is followed by three more 'Rattle And Hum' songs. The crowd are clearly
"into" the show; clapping and singing along. The band are in good form, even
joking when they mess up at the beginning of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For." During "God Part II," Bono's voice gives out. He misses a verse,
but then sings it again, screaming. He croaks out "Help" and has the audience
sing the second verse. He attempts "Bad," but skips the high notes. He leaves
the Edge to sing "Van Dieman's Land." Bono returns and attempts a couple of more
songs, allowing the audience to pick up the slack, but his voice is shot. As a
result of Bono's voice problems, the show ended prematurely. During the encore,
only "40" is played, leaving the B.B. King section out. The disc ends with the
promoter telling the audience to hang onto their tickets. The next two concerts,
which were planned for the next two nights, were postponed until January, 1990.
The CD has nice cover art, with some official photos taken from The Love Town
Tour book and on the inlay, a picture of a ticket to this show is printed. A
nice bootleg after all, covering the whole show. It will be very hard (if not
impossible) to find though.

Comments:
Indeed a worthwhile effort by all collaborators on this one! Disc 1 is an
exceptional take. The highly energized opening of "Sympathy For The Devil" and
"God Part II" sets the pace for the first three songs (very good live versions
of each one too!). The pace slows a little as U2 goes into "All I Want Is You",
"Where The Streets Have No Name", and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For", but the atmosphere is perfectly created. "Where The Streets Have No Name"
was dedicated to Samuel Beckett, who passed away that week. Bono says, "It's
kind of sad he never made it home, but he dreamt of other lands, of another
home, Where The Streets Have No Name." Then, in " I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For", Bono says (of playing back in Dublin), "We've been playing in all
these BIG places, so we thought we like to play a small place again...It's nice
to be home." Disc 2 begins with the continuation of the Point Depot concerts.
Tracks 1-5 are the "post-card" to the European nations, as Bono wishes
Czechoslovakia, Romania, Germany, etc.. a very happy new year. The tempo speeds
up again as the highly charged "New Year's Day" takes the stage. This was the
concert that was broadcast live to Eastern and Western Europe, so undoubtedly
the emotional implications of the ending cold-war heightened the adrenaline
flowing through Bono's veins at this point. Tracks 6-8 are a cut from some leg
of the ZOO TV Tour. Not much to say here other than U2 did an interesting
combination of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with "Stand By Me".
Tracks 9-14 are from the worldwide broadcast of the August 28, 1993 from Dublin,
Ireland. It continues on Disc 3. Nothing new as far as the Zooropa Tour goes. If
you've heard these songs as part of their tour before, you've heard them on this
disc. The sound quality is quite exceptional for a bootleg, with very little
interference or that sort from the audience. In all, I would highly recommend
this set to anyone who can get their hands on it. It was a little pricey if I
can remember right, somewhere around $90CA, but worth it. The only downside is
that there are no liner notes. There are only a few pictures (some of which
aren't bad) that have been collected throughout the tours. Enjoy!

Excellent sound quality. Bono speaks of the death of Samuel Beckett often. There
is a couple of errors on the tracklisting. "Where The Streets Have No Name" is
listed as "Where The Streets Have No Nan," and apparently Larry is the bassist
and Adam is the drummer. I am glad I bought it. ST. STEPHENS AT THE POINT is a
better choice to get, I guess, because it's got more songs (even though it's not
the entire concert). "Love Rescue Me" (which is missing from ST. STEPHENS AT THE
POINT) can be found on this bootleg. X-MAS AT POINT DEPOT (which is also
available on Banana Records' DESIRE VOL. 1 and DESIRE VOL. 2) is the most
complete recording of the December 26, 1989 concert. It contains all of the
tracks on every other December 26, 1989 concert listed in FLOM, as well as "Love
Rescue Me" and the "Intro" ("Sympathy For The Devil." ST. STEPHENS AT THE POINT
starts with a few seconds into "God Part II." This is the original pressing on

Disc 1: Almost excellent soundboard.
Disc 2: Very good soundboard.
Comments:
I would highly recommend this set for those who love the 'Rattle And Hum' era of
U2. Songs like "God Part II", "All I Want Is You", "Van Diemen's Land" and "When
Love Comes To Town" were performed rarely and this CD provides excellent
versions of these songs. Of particular interest is how powerful Bono's voice is
on this boot! He seems to have been on some sort of "throat steroid!" His range
is fantastic and this is possibly the richest I've ever heard his voice! As for
the other members of U2, they are spectacular as always. One can see The Edge
start ripping into some songs, showing signs of the brilliance that he had
throughout the ZOO TV shows. It is well known that U2 become even more powerful
when they perform in their hometown. The reason that I personally purchased this
CD was for the live version of "One Tree Hill", a 'Joshua Tree' song also
infrequently performed. Bono's powerful vocals make this song even more
passionate that the album version. Plus, there is a tremendous ending to this
song, one that significantly contrasts the album. As for the overall sound
quality, it varies at times, which is a bit strange since it is one show
recorded at the same time. Disc 1 begins as U2 are already singing God Part II.
Not much of the song is cut off, but we can't hear the song from the very
beginning. Aside from this rather minor irritation, the crowd noise is minimal
on Disc 1 and the sound quality overall is fantastic. The crowd was really into
U2 that night and it almost gave me chills as I heard them beautifully sing
along to the songs. Disc 2 is where the problems begin. Suddenly the sound
quality seems to have dropped. Perhaps a different recorder was used for this
portion of the show. No longer is the sound as crisp and clear as it was in Disc
1. This doesn't mean that the sound is terrible, just not quite as good as Disc
1. Of particular interest on Disc 2 is the version of "When Love Comes to Town"
which features B.B. King. B.B. King and his ensemble are also featured on "Angel
Of Harlem". There is also a point on this disc where the audience sings "Que
Sera Sera" (the Doris Day song) after U2 end their "regular show" (after "Pride
(In The Name Of Love)"). That was unusual, to say the least, since the audience
appeared to do this all on their own. The CD beautifully ends with the audience
singing "40". This is the one time that I actually enjoyed the "crowd noise".
Overall I would recommend this CD. However, the amount of music is a mere 87:40
for the two discs. Some CDs I've seen have almost 70 minutes on one disc alone!
But the sound quality and the semi-rare 'Rattle And Hum' songs make this a great
addition to anyone's collection. "Love Rescue Me" is missing from this bootleg.
X-MAS AT POINT DEPOT (which is also available on Banana Records' DESIRE VOL. 1
and DESIRE VOL. 2) is the most complete recording of the December 26, 1989
concert. It contains all of the tracks on every other December 26, 1989 concert
listed in FLOM, as well as "Love Rescue Me" and the "Intro" ("Sympathy For The
Devil." ST. STEPHENS AT THE POINT starts with a few seconds into "God Part II."

Comments:
B.B. King appears on Disc 2, Tracks 3-5. The first track on Disc 1 is The
Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil", playing over the PA system, while the
crowd await U2 to take the stage. This concert is also available on KTS Records'
ST STEPHEN'S AT THE POINT, and in an edited form on Beech Marten Records' SANTA
CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN. X-MAS AT THE POINT DEPOT (which is also available on
Banana Records' DESIRE VOL. 1 and DESIRE VOL. 2) is the most complete recording
of the December 26, 1989 concert. It contains all of the tracks on every other
December 26, 1989 concert listed in FLOM, as well as "Love Rescue Me" and the
"Intro" ("Sympathy For The Devil." ST. STEPHENS AT THE POINT starts with a few
seconds into "God Part II." Of some interest is the fact that Bono makes mention
of the recent death of Samuel Beckett (a native Dubliner who left the country
and wrote, among other things, 'Waiting For Godot' and 'Endgame,') before "Love
Rescue Me." During another track, he quickly recites some poetry, presumably by
Beckett, as well. At 1:59 on track 2, Disc 1 (God Part II) a fair amount of
distortion/feedback can be heard and lasts until approximately 2:00/2:01. This
recording is not flawless. Also, there seems the be a sound/source dropoff
during the beginning of Bullet the Blue Sky.

Source:
December 30, 1989. Dublin, Ireland. The Point Depot.
Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard. Track 2 of Disc 1 suffers from substantial distortion and
occasional dropouts. During Out of Control at 2:37, it seems as though someone
held down the fastfoward button, then released it (the word "opinion"sounds like
it's being hiccuped or `rapped'). Also during Love Rescue me at 1:34 the sound
is lost completely for a brief instance (this error seems somewhat similar to
what occurs at 2:37 during Out of Control). At any rate, the prevailing notion
that the only error occurs during "Bullet the Blue Sky"--and that the rest of
the recording is flawless is incorrect. I think these errors should be mentioned
in the review since many fans could be mislead to think that the people they are
trading with made errors while recording this show.
Comments:
This set captures the third night of The Point Depot shows in all it's splendor.
Most notable on this bootleg are the soundboard recordings of "She's A Mystery
To Me" (incorrectly labeled "Mystery Girl"), "All I Want Is You", and "11
O'Clock Tick Tock". The excellent version of "With Or Without You" interspersed
with "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is not to be missed either! This is believed to
be the only widely-available bootleg of this concert and is highly recommended
to anyone who has the opportunity to obtain it. Tracks 6-8 performed with B.B.
King.

December 31, 1989. Dublin, Ireland. The Point Depot.
According to the sleeve, all tracks are "Live in Europe 1991".
Sound Quality :
Very good-excellent soundboard.
Comments:
Not a flashy sleeve. Disappointment only in regards to the date and venue of
each track. Overall a good CD. Track 1 had (3-second) snippets of 11 "O'Clock
Tick Tock" and Bono going on about the mark and yen when "slapping it down,
100...200..." Track 4 is only 27 seconds long. You can hear audience clearly
especially on Track 2 "still running..". A good investment, if you can find it,
from the now-defunct Australian Applehouse family (Joker and Banana). Deluxe
color cover and OBI. This CD is reprinted with a new sleeve. "Unauthorized
Recordings" is not on the cover anymore. There are now "normal" photo's on the
cover without "Unauthorized" through it. This is a Japanese pressing.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
B.B. King appears on Tracks 7-9 on Disc 2. "The Star Spangled Banner" and
"Bullet The Blue Sky" were played but are missing. They should be after Track1,
Disc 2, and the tape glitches from the edit are quite audible. The Disc 1 is
labeled as including "Van Diemen's Land", but it is on Disc 2. Disc 1 is indexed
for 11 tracks, but Track 10 is only ten seconds of the crowd, and Track 11
contains both "All I Want Is You" and "Bad". At the very end of "Bad", the music
"skips" very much the way a skip sounds on vinyl.

Comments:
This is the best U2 bootleg that I have. It is almost the same as MORE POLITICS,
but this one actually has "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Bullet The Blue Sky"
on it. I searched long and hard for it and felt well-rewarded. The New Year's
concert was enough but adding the "Save The Yuppies" show is a true bonus. A
treasure.

Comments:
There are better sounding audience recordings than this one. The master used to
make this disc is not the same as the ones used to make the other December 31,
1989 shows. It sounds like a bad monitor mix rather than a clean out from a
board. Yes, this is the fabled New Year's Eve Dublin show. The first song
contains the countdown, but the intro has been shortened, so "Where The Streets
Have No Name" is about 7 minutes long. A reprint of a great, but currently
otherwise unavailable show, but apparently missing "The Star Spangled Banner"
and "Bullet The Blue Sky." The best version of this concert can be found on such
bootlegs as Templar's HAPPY NEW YEAR, which contains the missing "The Star
Spangled Banner" and "Bullet The Blue Sky." Anyone who thinks that the current
PopMart tour has any relevance or merit needs to listen to "Van Dieman's Land"
from this show. While U2 may have already passed their peak when this was
recorded, they were still a band you could trust. The CD comes housed in a
slimline double jewel case with a 4-panel insert and tray card.

Comments:
Similar to "The New Year's Concert", with the same cover (different texts, of
course!), tracklisting, matrix and barcode. There are some mistakes in
tracklisting: One Tree Hill is called "One Three Hill", Running To Stand Still
is claimed to be Trad. Arr. by U2 and "40" is called "Sing A New Song". Although
I haven't got "The New Year's Concert", I believe that this is exactly the same
thing

Sound Quality::
Disc 2, Disc 2 (1-5): Excellent broadcast.

Comments:
Arguably, the best U2 concert bootleg in terms of sound quality and show
content. The show begins with David Fanning broadcasting from the show and
introducing U2 as "...the band who started in this city 10 years ago and the
band who's dominated the 80's. It's a New Year's party and the live band is U2!"
amidst great fanfare from the cheering audience. A quick fade which edits out
the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" and Fanning counts down the last seconds
until midnight as bells ring and Bono sings a few lines of "Auld Land Syne"
during the intro to "Where The Streets Have No Name". Although the set list is
somewhat routine for The Lovetown Tour, powerful versions of "Where The Streets
have No Name ", "I Will Follow", "One Tree Hill", and "New Year's Day" are
performed. Many highlights include the first few lines of "All I Want Is You"
perfectly segueing into "Bad". The sound mix for this show is actually better
then the original broadcast of the show which leads to the possible conclusion
that the recording is from the master tape of the show. The second disc is
filled out with the complete "Save The Yuppies" free concert from San Francisco
on November 11, 1987. The source is an excellent audience tape. I do not know if
this particular recording has been used as the source for other discs such as
HAPPY NEW YEAR, which this package reportedly is identical to in sound and
sources. The 2CD set is enclosed in a double CD jewel case with somewhat dark
photo of the band from 'The Joshua Tree' era on the cover and a small folded
insert illustrated with several color and black and white photos and a
reproduction of the ticket from that night's show plus the track listing. My
only (very minor) quibbles are the tiny type used for the track listings on the
back cover over a color photo of The Edge which is nearly impossible to read and
the over-zealous indexing of songs. When this set was released in 1992, ICE
Magazine which reports on new CD bootlegs in a column entitled 'Going
Underground' that this bootleg would rate in the "top ten bootleg hall of fame".
There is no label information on this 2CD set but there are two prints with
different CDs. The first issue was with "2 IRISH ON TOUR" printed on the CDs,
and the second print was printed with "GoGo Rose Garden Here Again" on the CDs.
This is one of two of the original pressings on this label.

Sound Quality:
Excellent audience. Most of the bonus tracks are very good audience.
Comments:
This bootleg nicely documents the final dates of The Lovetown Tour, featuring
the last performance in its entirety and a generous selection of bonus tracks
from other dates. The worst-recorded track on this bootleg is easily "Hawkmoon
269", but it's an interesting performance, with The Edge playing a slide-guitar
intro. The booklet is pretty minimal, but contains a listing of all the Lovetown
Tour dates. B.B. King appears on Tracks 14-16. It should be noted that this was
the last concert U2 ever ended with "40". These recordings have also been
released in the same form on ROTTERDAM, on the Golden Stars and Live Storm
labels, and on Pluto's PRIDE and GLORIA. It is probably worth mentioning that
there is significant audience noise throughout the entire show. Although you're
not listening to just a few people singing along, you can hear the whole crowd
singing along to most songs. It does not detract from the band, though.

This bootleg nicely documents the final dates of the Lovetown Tour, featuring
the last performance in part and a generous selection of bonus tracks from other
dates. The worst-recorded track on this bootleg is easily "Hawkmoon 269", but
it's an interesting performance, with The Edge playing a slide-guitar intro. The
booklet is pretty minimal, but contains a listing of all the Lovetown Tour
dates. It should be noted that this was the last concert U2 ever ended with
"40". The whole set is available on ROTTERDAM, on the Golden Stars and Live
Storm labels, and on Red Phantom's ALL I WANT IS U2.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
This is the same exact recording as Pluto's GLORIA and Disc 2 of Red Phantom's
ALL I WANT IS U2, Golden Star's ROTTERDAM, and ROTTERDAM CONNECTION. The only
problem with this disc is that it is not indexed, leaving one continuous long
track. Also, it is sold as a single disc, so if you would like the beginning of
the concert, you would have to buy U2 LIVE VOL. 5 as well. With all this in
mind, this CD still features a fantastic concert, and the sound is superior to
most audience recordings out there. A wise buy.

This CD is exactly the same as Red Phantom's ALL I WANT IS U2, Golden Stars'
ROTTERDAMl, and on Pluto's PRIDE and GLORIA. The packaging is not very good. It
has a waterfall on the cover and a huge Live Storm logo inside the booklet. One
plus though: it was cheaper than most others when I bought it and the sound
quality is excellent. Definitely get a copy of this show though, preferably Red
Phanton's ALL I WANT IS U2.

Comments:
The cover says that it was recorded by "Fuzzy Microphone Mobile Studios" whoever
that might be. The entire show uninterrupted by stoppage in the tape. All of the
pauses between songs are as they actually happened. Of the three concert CD
bootlegs that I have spent money on, this one has the best sound quality, with
the exception of the first 3 songs ( the recorder didn't have the right levels
set). Crowd noise, although evident, is not louder than the music. Great
performances of "With or Without You", "Where The Streets Have No Name", "Bad",
"Bullet The Blue Sky", "One", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", and
others. The sound quality on the first few songs is not great. "Love Is
Blindness" fades after only two minutes. The soundcheck stuff is interesting but
the sound quality is not that great. Other than that, I really don't have many
complaints. It's always a pleasant surprise to come across a bootleg with good
sound.

Comments:
The first night of the Zoo TV tour introduced the world to U2's new stage show.
The bans sound good and charge out of the gate with eight songs from their new
'Achtung Baby' album. Following this segment, U2 would go out to the mini stage
and perform an acoustic "Angel Of Harlem." Disc 2 opens with "Satellite of
Love." This is followed by "Bad," which ends with a verse of "All I Want Is
You." The show ended with "Love is Blindness," which for some reason is not
included on this bootleg. A good show, especially for the opening night of a
tour. "Satellite Of Love" is played despite not being listed on the packaging.
See also: THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE 1992 WORLD TOUR. Housed in a double (thick)
jewel case. This features photos from the Joshua Tree and Lovetown eras on the
cover and also on the picture CDs.

Comments:
This was the second show of the ZOO TV tour and it is noticeable. In the intro
of "Even Better Than The Real Thing" the rest of the band doesn't get the cues
of The Edge. During "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" the band again needs
some cues, this time from Bono. And during "Where The Streets Have No Name",
Bono gets a bit mixed up with the words. Apart from these minor faults this is a
good, complete concert from the beginning of the ZOO TV Tour. This bootleg has
good sound quality, but in the beginning of "Zoo Station" the right level still
has to be found, which is good before the ending of the song. The CD does also
start halfway the intro sung by Bono, but this isn't very annoying. "Mysterious
Ways" has a beautiful intro with Bono improvising and it showed the premiere of
Christina, the belly dancer. "One" is dedicated to the Russian cosmonaut in
orbit. "Satellite Of Love" is done in a longer version which contains the verses
of the second part of the song. "Bullet The Blue Sky" has some alternate lyrics
to comment about the overwhelming response for tickets. Finally, the first two
verses of "Love Is Blindness" aren't sung, but spoken. The CD has nice
packaging, although not U2-specific. Some errors are made in the track listing
("All I Want Is You" isn't mentioned) but everythign else looks acceptable. This
isn't the quintessential ZOO TV recording, but it is nice to compare this early
concert with concert at the end of the tour.

Comments:
Let me start by saying that I only bought this one because it was only $20 and
my girlfriend went to this show! On some tracks, you can hear her friend
screaming and boy was she surprised to hear it. The packaging is okay. A picture
of Bono on the back and a Trabant on the front. It is a cardboard box with the
CDs set back inside of it. A good show, but far inferior to many other indoor
ones. The cover of this CD incorrectly lists this concert as being recorded at
the March 15, 1992 concert at the Providence, RI Civic Center, so be extra
careful when buying this.

The Miami parts of the discs are the same as WELCOME TO ZOO TV. Bob Dylan joins
U2 for "I Shall Be Released" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". Tracks 12 and 13
of Disc 2 are not done by U2, but they have Bono singing backed by an all star
band consisting of: Dylan, Carlos Santana, Mick Taylor, Ian MacLagan, Greg
Sutton, Collin Allen, Leslie Dowdell. Both Dylan and Bono take turns singing
lead. The packing of this set is far superior to WELCOME TO ZOO TV. The CDs are
in a box, along with a 12 page booklet and a color poster. Inside the booklet,
there is a commentary about the show in Miami in both English and Italian and
numerous pictures from the ZOO TV Tour. Unlike the "crunched" style of WELCOME
TO ZOO TV, the CDs come with two separate jewel cases. Yeah! Both CDs are
picture discs, showing a map of Southern Florida and the cars which were used as
props during the tour. Quite a wonderful box set, and the first bootleg I ever
bought. It cost about $48 back in 1992. The quality, in retrospect, lacks
compared to the DAT tapes that I now trade. The mics at the show sound like they
were not of the high end (Shoeps or Neumann's) but did give a wonderful insight
into a band that I loved at the time. I don't think that I have listened to the
CDs (until today) in over a year.

The front cover has Bono as The Fly, singing into a microphone. There is a
yellow "U2" on top right corner, a white "The Fly" across the bottom, and a red
and white "S" in top left corner, which is the On Stage mark. During "The Fly",
Bono says, "Achtung Georgia." During "Even Better Than The Real Thing", Bono
says, "Check out that suit... Wooo." Before "Pride (In The Name Of Love)", Bono
says, "This is your town. Can you turn it around? Turn it around." During "Pride
(In The Name Of Love)", Martin Luther King's speech is "muffled", and after it
Bono says, "Good night, God Bless You." Before "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild
Horses", Bono says, "Rock and Roll. Can't live with it, can't live without it."
During "Bullet The Blue Sky", Bono yells, "Outside is America. Watch him
America. Watch your children, America. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut
the fuck up. Shut the fuck up." During "Where The Streets Have No Name", Bono
sings "Georgia's no Rain."

Sound Quality:

does not seriously detract from Bono's strong performance.
Comments:
This is a nice single CD containing most of the concert. In my opinion, Bono
puts on a strong performance, but as noted above a noticeable echo does exist on
the CD. Crowd noise is pretty low throughout the CD. Of perhaps special note is
that "Angel Of Harlem" is completely acoustic. The track listing on the back of
the CD is inaccurate. It lists "Surrender" instead of "Bad" and "The Zoo"
instead of "Zoo Station."

Comments:
The 1992 Paris show is the bulk of the CD. You may remember it was the kick off
of the first European leg of the Zoo TV tour, and Bono had a hangover. He tried
really hard that night, and pulls through. The performance of "Who's Gonna Ride
Your Wild Horses" is especially great. "Desire" and "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
were either not played or were edited out. The rest of the CD has some nice
filler, as well. This set comes in a slimline 2CD case. The first CD has a
picture of Bono and Edge back to back and second CD is tinted green. The cover
has "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU" in huge letters with a really bad Zoo TV-era photo on
the right side. This is a European bootleg. Disc 2, Tracks 9 and 10 feature
Keith Richards. Disc 2, Track 10 features Ziggy Marley.

Comments:
This is complete show. This is one of my favorite ZOO TV bootlegs! The
participation of the audience is really great (they sing louder than The Edge on
the chorus to "The Fly"!), and the band made a good performance. I really
recommend this CD. The front cover is not very nice, but you can find a school
photo from 1978 in the book and recognize the young Bono and The Edge (I don't
know where Adam and Larry are). Mistakes on the titles in the CD include the
following: "When Love Comes To Town" is not listed (nor is it indexed) and "So
cruel" is listed as being "All I Want Is You".

Many songs are conspicuously absent from the set. The versions of "I Still

best I've heard. "Satellite of Love" does not feature Lou Reed, as this is an
early show on the tour. Only the chorus of "Dancing Queen" is sung, not even a
complete verse. Recommended with reservations.

Comments:
Deluxe color cover, picture CD.
This concert was held in front of 8,000 people in one of the smallest venues of
the whole Zoo TV tour. Since it was only three days before the infamous
Stockholm gig, the songs sound very much the same. However, unlike in Stockholm
Bono didn't talk much in between the tracks, which is good if you just want to
hear the music and don't care much for his ramblings. It's definitely an
excellent audience recording, it could even be from a soundboard source. During
the first two or three songs the sound level varies a bit on a few occassions,
but it's only a minor nuisance.
The disc starts with the "I could have lost you" bit after which "Zoo Station"
kicks in full-force. Before "One" Bono says something in Swedish (?) and thanks
the audience for hanging around for 5 years. "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"
was only played during the spring leg of the Zoo TV Tour (and afterwards on a
few more dates in America) and this version sounds very good. It must have been
rather hot inside the venue because Bono inquires after why's there's no
air-conditioning. He then introduces "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The
World" as an old Swedish drinking song. It's one of the evening's highlights. As
always a girl comes onstage to drink champagne with Bono. He asks her to sit
down and improvises with lines from "Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright".
"Dancing Queen" is linked to "Angel Of Harlem". While the audience keeps singing
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", the band start playing "Stand By
Me". Bono thanks the crowd and calls it quits, leaving The Edge on vocals for
the rest of the song.
Unfortunately this bootleg does not contain the whole concert, but five other
tracks can be found on THE PARTY STILL GOES ON (97/08/02 Gothenburg). In fact,
if you combine these two bootlegs, only "Desire", "With Or Without You" and
"Love Is Blindness" are absent.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
This CD is essentially the same concert as DANCING ZOO TV and SATELLITE FROM
STOCKHOLM. Please read those reviews for more information about the Stockholm
concert. "Bad" does go into a brief "All I Want Is You", similar to many
concerts on the first leg of the tour. What makes this CD complete in my opinion
are the bonus tracks from 'Zooropa'. I recommend getting one of the Stockholm
concerts for those looking for a recording from the first leg of the ZOO TV
Tour. U2 plays well, and the recording is outstanding.

Sound Quality:
Good-very good soundboard (see below).
Comments:
The sound of this recording has obviously been tampered with to remove the high
frequency distortion present on the master recording. However, in reducing this
interference, the high frequency components of the music have suffered
tremendously. The bass and midrange have been boosted too much, resulting in
vocal distortion and an overall lound which is too "loud" in spots, for lack of
a better description. Skip this one and go after FALLING IN LOVE or one of the
other boots for a more enjoyable recording of this great show. It is also
available on UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. The overall mix is very good; a "raw"
sound that is rare on ZooTV recordings. The sound resolution is excellent, such
that you can hear Bono's breath. On the other hand, it is somewhat distorted
sound wavers slightly in pitch, and the recording level was a little too high.
The performance is pretty good, with an excellent cover of "Stand By Me".

Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard. There is high frequency distortion is present on Disc 1,
but it is barely audible. Unfortunately, this distortion increases on Disc 2.
This interference is generally only noticeable between songs and during "breaks
in the action". Perhaps it would be more enjoyable on speakers than with
headphones. Otherwise, this is a truly excellent recording.
Comments:
An excellent early concert from the indoor stage of the ZOO TV Tour. The
packaging says only "Recorded live In Europe during '92 world tour", but enough
other boots of this concert exist to easily pin this one down. Tracks 11 and 12
are not contained on other boots of this concert thus, their origin is unknown.
The covers of "Dancing Queen" and "Stand By Me" on this set are complete and
well done. This bootleg is very enjoyable and recommended. Truly one of the best
early ZOO TV Tour bootlegs in circulation, in my opinion. This concert (minus
Tracks 11 and 12 of Disc 2) is also available on other labels as AM ZOO, THE
REAL THING and UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD.

This is a nice collection from Australia. All of the tracks came from fantastic

Comments:
The disc says the recording is from "Seattle, Washington USA '93", which
incorrect. The disc contains mostly songs from the August 28, 1993 Dublin,
Ireland broadcast, which is why the sound quality is so good. The other tracks
(9-12) sound pretty good, though the difference in quality is noticeable. The
songs are taken from some show during the 1992 summer leg of the ZOO TV Tour.
The editing between the two venues is done pretty well, with no awkward cuts or
fade outs. This disc is the first part of two, Grapefruit's LEMON is the other.
Together, they contain the whole Dublin broadcast and some extra songs.

Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard
Comments:
Same recording as THE REAL THING, and similar to FALLING IN LOVE but without the
extra tracks. The lack of crowd noise can be both a plus and a minus. On this
recording you hear everything that happens on the stage, including Bono
breathing, and background noises that could have never been heard over a
soundboard. For example, during "Bad", I heard a keyboard part that I had never
heard before. Very crisp sound and not a bad show, either. Great version of
"Dancing Queen".

Comments:
This is an Italian bootleg. This is the complete show. It is listed as "Recorded
Live In Netherland 1992". The sound of this recording is not as good as it could
be expected from a soundboard recording. It's a little bit crisp and it seems
that it was remastered in one way or another. The cover is a four-sided inlet
with blank inner pages, with the inner cover showing some pictures of windmills.
The CD itself is a red and yellow printed pic cd. It has a yellow back cover
with the track listing printed in red.

Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard.
Comments:
Like the title implies, it was a mixing desk recording (i.e. the sound you hear
is the sound that came through the PA). U2 were furious when the found out about
a leaked out concert recording. Paul McGuinnes later stated that the soundcrew
responsible for recording it, AND selling it, were immediatly fired. So, not
always is it the fans who make illegimate material, U2's crew did it, and I even
try to believe U2 themselves does it. In the later case I'm talking about the
'Salome' outtakes and the two supposedly "stolen" fragments of the album 'Pop'
which appeared on the internet, as we all know. This is a decent soundboard
recording. The band does not put on a great concert, and they know it. Edge
messes up during the "bridge" of "Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World "
and the band messes up "Dancing Queen" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For" (Disc 2, Track 3). The bonus tracks are a nice addition. "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (Disc 2, Track 14) is performed with the New
Voices Of Freedom, and is the same version as the version on 'Rattle And Hum'.

Comments:
This is a very interesting CD. While the sound is pretty bad, there is a lot of
improvisation from U2 on this disc. The most noteworthy tracks on this disc are
"Acrobat" and "So Cruel". This might even be the only disc with live versions of
"Acrobat" on it, as U2 never performed it in concert, only at the Hershey
soundchecks. It is worth a listen. U2 tries everything from reggae to country on
this disc, and it's a real shame that this is an audience recording, rather than
a soundboard or DAT. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this disc, as I got mine
for $8 at a record show, only after getting a copy on tape. I liked what I
heard, and I figured that $8 would not kill me. Everyone should at least find a
copy of this on tape, it's cool.

Comments:
There is a good stereo "feel" to this recording. You can hear all the
"components" of U2 (i.e. vocals, bass, guitar and drums) very clearly. This CD
features two interesting soundcheck recordings, apparently from just before the
first ZOO TV show in Lakeland, Florida. When listening to the soundchecks (which
are recorded fairly well), its quite strange to hear U2 play live, but with no
applause or audience noise. I'd recommend this CD for anyone's collection, if
only for the soundchecks and the brilliant performance (in my opinion) of "Who's
Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"! If you haven't got an Outside Broadcast Tour
bootleg yet, then I think this one is worth the money. Disc 1, Track 1 is the
infamous Automatic Baby performance, with Michael Stipe (of R.E.M.) on lead
vocals.

There is a slight hiss in the background while they are not playing but this is

Around The World", "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "With Or Without You." Very good
to excellent sound quality. The microphones pick up the audience from time to
time, but it's one of the best bootlegs that I have heard. It still has a slight
hiss, but is remastered and sounds MUCH better than the tape of this show that
has been floating around for the past couple of years. The place I bought this
CD from had literally tons of copies, so hopefully they will be everywhere soon.
A "must-have," especially if you don't own any ZooTV Outside Broadcast shows. A
very good (and complete) recording for the collection.

The first two songs sound fairly bad, but the sound quality improves
considerably with "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and stays quite clear for
the rest of the show, but certain parts, such as the harmonica between "Running
to Stand Still" and "Where The Streets Have No Name" are a little faint.
Comments:
A good sampler of a typical American ZOO TV Outside Broadcast show. Bono and Co.
were clearly enjoying themselves that night, playing a loose, relaxed set, with
Bono frequently chatting it up and joking with the audience in between songs.
Larry's inspired rendition of Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" is hilarious,
especially after Bono introduces him as, "My mate, Marky Mark." "I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For" is a beautiful addition to the mid-show "unplugged"
set; I know of no other shows where the song was performed in this part of the
show, which is a shame, because it works wonderfully. "With Or Without You" is
the extended version with lyrics from "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and "Love Is
Blindness" is drawn out to six-and-a-half chilling, riveting minutes. The bonus
tracks of "Redemption Song" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" are a nice surprise, as
is "Southern Man", in which Bono invites an audience member to play guitar, like
he did during The Lovetown Tour. "Hawkmoon 269", a favorite of mine, is sadly
maimed by a terrible recording, and the extra take of "Unchained Melody" is an
equally-poor recording that is completely unnecessary, as that song is performed
as part of the main show. This set is overall a very pleasing one.
This is the original pressing on this label.

The sound of this 2 CD set is distant, there is too much treble, and you can't
hear bass too well, just a mass of low sound. You can hear Bono's voice and The
Edge's guitar very well. I don't know if I described the sound quality very well
(it isn't so bad) but I don't find it interesting at all. It is the type of
sound you can't amplify too much because then it becomes very loud mass of sound
that you can't listen to. On Disc 2, Tracks 14, 15, and 17, there is crowd noise
everywhere (sometimes you can barely hear the band). "Stand By Me", with Bruce
Springsteen, is the poorest-quality track on this double CD.
Comments:
These CDs are both very nice picture discs. On each disc, all four members of U2
are pictured from the 'Achtung Baby' era. Concerning the songs, all can be found
on other CDs. "Even Better Than The Real Thing" contains drums with Garth from
the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards. Before "Trying To Thow Your Arms Around The
World", Bono exclaims, "(that it is a)...traditional Irish drinking song the
Beatles had stolen from us and we're stealing it back". "Angel Of Harlem" is an
acoustic version beginning with a portion of "Hello Good-bye". Before
"Redemption Song", Bono says that it is the first time that they have ever
played the song live, and then he pleads for the return of his stolen notebook.
The Mirrorball Man's phone call is to George Bush, then President Of The United
States, who is "unavailable". Deluxe color cover.

Sound Quality:

(9-15) Fair audience.
Both suffer from bad reverberation during speaking parts which makes it hard to
discern what is being said. Both have little to no audience screaming within
close range of the microphones (no one yelling "Bono!" etc.) which is pretty
good for audience recordings.
Comments:
The cover is from 'The Joshua Tree' photo session, but material is ZOO TV era. A
little bit of wow and flutter in "Mysterious Ways". A complete drop out in "New
Year's Day", lasting eight seconds, which is supplemented by another recording
of really poor quality (from another show probably). Dana Carvey appears as
Garth for the TV part right before "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and also
plays the drums along with the song. The sound of Garth's drums is fed over
satellite and mixed in with Larry's drums, but you can really only hear it
during the guitar solo when Bono says "Drum solo, Garth." I feel the first two
tracks, "Zoo Station" and "The Fly", are the best recordings on this booleg. The
rest are poorer quality, even if they are from the same tape. This would most
likely be a treasure to anyone who attended either of these shows. See also: THE

Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard.
Comments:
Track 8 is with Lou Reed. For "Even Better Than The Real Thing", Bono tunes in
Garth (Dana Carvey) to play the drums for him. Larry sings "Wild Irish Rover".
Altogether, a well-packaged CD. Not much talk from Bono, but the music makes up
for it.

performed via satellite for The 1992 MTV Video Music Awards. This boxed set
comes with two 12-page booklets with ZOO TV pictures, etc. Also, comes with a
cool poster of the cover of the box. On Discs 1 and 2, the crowd is a bit on the
noisy side but the overall sound is very crisp. Of the three versions I have
heard of the Houston show, this is the best.

Sound Quality :
Excellent audience. The sound is really clear. Unfortunately, this means that
there are one or two really clear conversations heard in the audience. Aside
from that, it's great.
Comments:
This is the only bootleg that I know of on which Bono sang "My Girl" after
"One". The acoustic "All I Want Is You" sounds great too. If you've saw ZOO TV
show, you know that "Bullet The Blue Sky" and "Running To Stand Still" are also
great. "With Or Without You" has the 7th verse plus bits of "Love Will Tear Us
Apart" from Joy Division. It`s the only performance that I know of (other than
on "Rock's Hottest Ticket") with it and I love it. The packaging lists "Running
To Stand Still" as "Bad".

The sound of this 2 CD set is distant, there is too much treble, and you can't
hear bass too well, just a mass of low sound. You can hear Bono's voice and The
Edge's guitar very well. I don't know if I described the sound quality very well
(it isn't so bad) but I don't find it interesting at all. It is the type of
sound you can't amplify too much because then it becomes very loud mass of sound
that you can't listen to. On Disc 2, Tracks 14, 15, and 17, there is crowd noise
everywhere (sometimes you can barely hear the band). "Stand By Me", with Bruce
Springsteen, is the poorest-quality track on this double CD.
Comments:
These CDs are both very nice picture discs. On each disc, all four members of U2
are pictured from the 'Achtung Baby' era. Concerning the songs, all can be found
on other CDs. "Even Better Than The Real Thing" contains drums with Garth from
the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards. Before "Trying To Thow Your Arms Around The
World", Bono exclaims, "(that it is a)...traditional Irish drinking song the
Beatles had stolen from us and we're stealing it back". "Angel Of Harlem" is an
acoustic version beginning with a portion of "Hello Good-bye". Before
"Redemption Song", Bono says that it is the first time that they have ever
played the song live, and then he pleads for the return of his stolen notebook.
The Mirrorball Man's phone call is to George Bush, then President Of The United
States, who is "unavailable". Deluxe color cover.

Sound Quality:
Average audience.
Comments:
Listed on the back as DDD, it is most likely a digital audience recording
because the sound is just not that good. This is the first time on the tour that
"Redemption Song" is played and before singing it, Bono appeals for the return
of his notebook which was stolen from the band's hotel in the Spring. Also parts
of "My Way" creep into "With Or Without You". The packaging is the real story
here. It is a gorgeous fold out cardboard box. There is a very descriptive
booklet which details the night, song for song. All the outside tour dates are
listed as well as a replica of the ticket from that night. It's a shame that the
sound does not live up to the packaging. Listed as being recorded by Flying Fish
Mobile Studio (whetever that is).

Comments:
This is the umpteenth time that I've seen a bootleg of this show, so there must

One other note: this is the first time that "Redemption Song" was played live on

Sound Quality:
Excellent audience. The crowd is a bit on the noisy side, but the overall sound
is very crisp
Comments:
Overall, it`s overall a great show, Redemption Song (B. Marley) is a nice treat
that I hadn't heard them play before. There are no technical difficulties, nor
is the sound really ever soft. The only thing that might be thought of as a
problem is the fact that the audience is noisy. During "Angel Of Harlem", Bono
starts off with The Beatles' "Hello, Good-bye", and he also adds another verse
of lyrics. The phone call is to George Bush, and Bono makes an amusing comment
about him not being able to talk to the people of his home state. Bono messes up
the lyrics in "Mysterious Ways" and acknowledges it to himself, "I fucked that
up!". "Zoo Station" opens with a little of the "George Bush Rap".

Comments:
This is part one of a semi-dress rehearsel U2 held two days before the first
Zooropa '93 concert. A small group of fans was let inside to witness the
soundcheck and they must have taped it. Unfortunately it's not done well.
There's a loud hiss audible the whole time and the (Dutch) fans can clearly be
heard talking and laughing. Loud noises sound terribly distorted. The first
track is mislabeled as "Zoo Station". Apparently only the first 50 copies of
this bootleg were numbered. I've got number 005 myself, but I wouldn't have
bought it if I had known it sounded so bad. For the fans who witnessed this
rehearsal it must have been great, but this bootleg is too crappy to enjoy
listening to. Avoid this one. Deluxe color cover. The first track is not listed.

Comments:
This is the last of three consecutive concerts U2 played at Feyenoord Stadium to
commence their Zooropa '93 Tour. Whenever they play multiple gigs at one
location, the last night's kind of special and this one's no exception. The band
made quite a few mistakes (maybe 'cause it was the day after Bono's birthday?),
but the atmosphere was exuberant. The first disc has the complete intro with the
drummer boy and European anthem before "Zoo Station". During "The Fly" Bono
messes up the "Achtung y'all!"-part and has to improvise his way out of it.
Before the channel hopping, he thanks the crowd for having them three nights in
a row. "Until The End Of The World" and "New Year's Day" sound fantastic. Bono
then introduces Larry, who comes forward to hold a little speech before singing
"Wild Rover". He gets a loud cheer from the Dutch crowd. The girl that Bono
brings up for "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World" sings a few lines and
even gets a kiss from him. At the end of the song Bono sums it up perfectly by
adding "Gonna be alright.. Zoo TV tonight... Everything alright... a little
off-key tonight... that's alright... There's no tomorrow night". The acoustic
set is truly one of the best of the whole tour. Bono improvises a few lines
during "Angel Of Harlem" and "Slow Dancing" makes a very rare appearance. The
highlight, however, is the semi-acoustic and extended version of "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". It sounds simply amazing. To make it even
more superb, Bono sings an extra verse in the middle of the song. During "Bad"
he adds snippets of a song I don't know (anyone?). "All I Want Is You" is only
about 30 seconds long. "Bullet The Blue Sky" sees more improvisation by Bono.
"Running To Stand Still" segues beautifully into "Where The Streets Have No
Name". As usual on the Zoo TV tours, "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" features the
speech by Martin Luther King. Unlike most other Zoo TV bootlegs, this one has
the complete video confessionals and the singing Russian cosmonaut before
"Desire". MacPhisto's speech about the invention of rock-and-roll is very weird.
He phones the residence of Queen Beatrix, but (as usual) doesn't get past the
receptionist, who promptly hangs up on him. "With Or Without You" is rather
short, but has the "We'll Shine Like Stars"-part. "Love Is Blindness" and "Can't
Help Fallin' In Love" end a great show. The bonus tracks on the second disc are
taken from the two other nights at Feyenoord Stadium. They're all very rare
performances. Larry sings The Dubliners' "Dirty Old Town" and Bono improvises
some lines during "When Love Comes To Town". On his debut, MacPhisto sings a few
lines from the Dutch song that won the Eurovision song contest in 1975. The
second night features some nice surprises as well. The Edge performs "Party
Girl" solo for the first time in his life, with a nice birthday song for Bono on
top of it. Also included are rare performances of "My Girl" (with improvised
lyrics), "I Will Follow" (dedicated to the Paradiso) and "Sunday Bloody Sunday".
Bono's birthday show ends with the only-ever performance of Elvis' "Are You
Lonesome Tonight?". The sound is excellent throughout the whole concert. Even
the bonus tracks sound very good to excellent. In my opinion this is the best of
all Rotterdam 1993 bootlegs.

Comments:
U2 put on a good performance for Munich the night before 'Zooropa' was released
in Europe. Although obviously an audience recording, the sound is surprisingly
clear. Track 11 on Disc 2 is labeled as "vocals by Edge", but really he's just
singing his usual backing vocals without Bono on lead. Track 12 on Disc 2 is not
particularly interesting. It's hardly even a song, just an instrumental jam.
Track 13 on Disc 2 is more interesting, starting off with a chiming, delay-laden
riff, and visiting numerous moods before abruptly ending. The packaging is
nicely done, with interesting graphics on the discs themselves, and a 12-page
booklet with ZOO TV and 'Zooropa'-era photographs.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Sound Quality:
This recording is a very good audience.
Comments:
Track 8 is mislabeled on sleeve as "Dirty Old Town". Track 9 is mislabeled as
"All I Want is You". There is crowd noise evident throughout, such as audible
clapping and talking, but the worst of it is heard during the breaks between
songs. I would guess the person who taped this was near the front speakers
because the music itself is recorded quite well. That is what makes it
listenable, in spite of the crowd interference. In fact, I listen to this disc
on my car stereo, which I can't say about most other bootlegs I have. All
instruments and sound ranges are well-represented. The bass, which in my
experience is usually muted or hard to distinguish, is clear and rich on this
recording. The intro to "Zoo Station" is cut, so the song starts with Edge's
opening riffs. Also cut are Mac Phisto's speeches and phone call. This is a
fairly basic show in terms of the Zooropa Tour. The setlist is the usual, but
the band is "on" and I would say it is a good performance. This would be a good
candidate for a new collector looking for a representative show that sounds
pretty good. I think it is worth it just to hear Bono have fun with the French
language. Can you say "mangle"?

are interesting, you can hear a little riff from "All Along The Watchtower" by
The Edge's electric guitar (sounds like Hendrix!). The tracks are numbered
incorrectly on the CD. It's a beautiful black digipak without the name U2
anywhere, only the stars and the little cosmonaut from 'Zooropa'. Buy it only if

Comments:
The Zooropa show from Italy is good performance for an enthusiastic audience,
but the audience noise really ruins it. This is the last of four shows that
Pearl Jam opened for U2 (along with An Emotional Fish) and Bono mentions them at
one point. The real attraction of this package are the Dublin tracks, which
should be the main feature of the discs, not bonus tracks! An embryonic U2 put
on a great show for about 1000 fans and friends in their home town, a full 8
months before the release of "Boy". Many of the songs feature different lyrics
than the ones we're used to on their later releases. Disc 2 Track 7 is "11
O'Clock Tick Tock" with different lyrics (it's listed as "11 O'Clock Tick
Tock"). Track 10 is "Touch" with different lyrics. Track 16 features the
original lyrics as found on the 1980 "Another Day" B-side. Track 18 is probably
some kind of "inside joke", a short fragment of Don McLean's "Vincent" (probably
not the original, but I wouldn't know). The inlay card calls it "The last
non-deserved tribute to the Unforgettable Fire". The title is not on the
package, but is printed on the CDs themselves. Very odd. The packaging is nice,
featuring numerous pictures of the band, both old and new (great one of very
young Bono, The Edge, and Larry on-stage). It includes a blurb about each show,
and gives thanks to a Mr. Brush for taping the Zooropa show. Not to be confused
with the other FARAWAY SO CLOSE, which has a very similar title!

and tuning the 1-150 Hertz range the quality becomes very good.
Comments:
The discs are not indexed. This degrades the CD. Each disc has only 2 tracks.
Track 2 on Disc 1 starts at Stay. Track 2 of Disc 2 starts at the video
confessions. The pictures on the cover are from 1989. The pictures on the back

Sound Quality:
Very good audience. There are times, however, where Bono`s voice gets a little
faint, especially during "Can`t Help Falling In Love", when the crowd starts
singing along. Also, one channel (the left?) is slightly louder but an equalizer
should remedy this.
Comments:
It`s a great bootleg despite the slight channel problem and Bono`s occasionally
faint voice. The call to Salman Rushdie is great. "Zooropa" and "Babyface" are
surprises. I don`t know how often they played them. The second "Bad" and "The
First Time" is from August 12, 1993. It features violinist L. Shankar playing
with the band. The violin adds a wonderful counter melody to the song. The intro
on "Zoo Station" is fairly long, about 2 minutes. The Edge gets all the lines in
the same order as in the studio version of "Numb". Bono does his "fuck America!"
routine during "Bullet The Blue Sky".

Comments:
Excellent recording, maybe the best I've ever heard! This is fantastic bootleg
recorded digitally with a DAT recorder and a very good microphone. This the
first show in London which contains "Zooropa" and "Babyface" (which is played
for the first time ever). It should be remastered because of the high-dynamic
and the strong presence of bassses and high tones which causes a boring hiss. It
is still very good, sometimes sounding just like a soundboard recording! Also,
the audience noise is perfect! Get a copy of this! This is a VERY limited
edition of only 30 copies, I believe. Sometimes it is sold in a deluxe 8-CD
wooden box (along with WEMBLEY NIGHTS VOL. 3 & 4, WEMBLEY NIGHTS VOL. 5 & 6, and

The show is very good with good crowd participation. The stadium goes mad when
"I Will Follow" is played. The satellite link-up with Sarajevo is very touching.
You all should get a copy of this CD. "Bullet The Blue Sky" is played harder and
louder than ever before, and "Bad" is mixed with the violin of L. Shankar for an
unique and beautiful version. This is a VERY limited edition of only 30 copies,

Having the entire show, from start to finish, without a single break is always a

listening to it on headphones in the store. In my car it sounds so-so, but at
home it sounds better. Try headphones and you won't be disappointed. This CD has
the heart-wrenching Sarajevo link-up which will tear you up inside. The video
confessionals are hilarious!

Sound Quality:
Very good audience.
Comments:
A good show, but if you have other Zooropa dates, you need not apply. The best
things about this disc are the acoustic versions of "Angel of Harlem" and "When
Love Comes To Town". It says that it's a digital recording but that would just
imply that it came from a digital audience tape (DAT).
This is the original pressing on this label.

Sound Quality:
Very good audience. This the one of the best audience recordings I've ever
heard! Perfect digital tape, even if it should be remastered (because of
high-dynamic and a boring hiss). The audience noise is perfect (you don't hear
close clapping noises).
Comments:
The show is very good. Bono has a tremendous start and he's full of energy (even
if his voice is not as strong as on other occasions). Nice version of "With Or
Without You" and a funny phone call to The Archbishop. The song "Babyface" is
played for the last time ever, and "Love Is Blindness" is sung with a very
strong passion. This is a VERY limited edition of only 30 copies, I believe.
Sometimes it is sold in a deluxe 8-CD wooden box (along with WEMBLEY NIGHTS VOL.
1 & 2, WEMBLEY NIGHTS VOL. 3 & 4, and WEMBLEY NIGHTS VOL. 7 & 8).

Sound Quality:
Excellent audience. From "Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World" to "Bullet
The Blue Sky", the sound is not as good because of the hard rain falling,
however the general sound is impressive! Obviously, this is a DAT recording so
just get a copy of it! Also, this CD should be remastered, but the audience
noise is perfect (you don't hear close clapping noises).
Comments:
This is one of the best Zooropa shows ever! The band is very inspired by the
heavy rain falling, and puts on a fantastic and emotional show. The highlight is
"Dancing Queen", also sung by Larry. The phone call to Graham Taylor (the
ex-England football team coach) is very, very funny! The acoustic set is superb!
Surely a show to remember! This is a VERY limited edition of only 30 copies, I
believe. Sometimes it is sold in a deluxe 8-CD wooden box (along with WEMBLEY

Comments:
This was broadcast worldwide on the radio. Bono tries to call the United Nations
after Desire and gets an answering machine. The only bad thing is the cover and
packaging, its pretty boring. There are no pictures and when the sleeve is
opened there's just a big Live Storm logo with Italian print over it. I listened
to it and the "Tryin' To Throw You Arms Around The World" version is complete
(with the "Dublin City says I will.." ending). Bad and Bullet are both on disc
two thus having no continuity problems. However, I tested it only on the record
store and I wasn't able to listen if the show was complete with the Zoo TV
Confessions and the Elvis ending. But if it has the full show, and since it had
"Bad" and "Bullet The Blue Sky" on the same disc, this is potentially the best
alternative pressing to buy for this show. With regards to sound quality, it is
pretty much the same as the other pressings of this show. I wasn't able to
really listen closely to the fidelity so this may be a better- or
lesser-sounding bootleg, but definitely only by a small fraction.

Comments:
Indeed a worthwhile effort by all collaborators on this one! Disc 1 is an
exceptional take. The highly energized opening of "Sympathy For The Devil" and
"God Part II" sets the pace for the first three songs (very good live versions
of each one too!). The pace slows a little as U2 goes into "All I Want Is You",
"Where The Streets Have No Name", and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For", but the atmosphere is perfectly created. "Where The Streets Have No Name"
was dedicated to Samuel Beckett, who passed away that week. Bono says, "It's
kind of sad he never made it home, but he dreamt of other lands, of another
home, Where The Streets Have No Name." Then, in " I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For", Bono says (of playing back in Dublin), "We've been playing in all
these BIG places, so we thought we like to play a small place again...It's nice
to be home." Disc 2 begins with the continuation of the Point Depot concerts.
Tracks 1-5 are the "post-card" to the European nations, as Bono wishes
Czechoslovakia, Romania, Germany, etc.. a very happy new year. The tempo speeds
up again as the highly charged "New Year's Day" takes the stage. This was the
concert that was broadcast live to Eastern and Western Europe, so undoubtedly
the emotional implications of the ending cold-war heightened the adrenaline
flowing through Bono's veins at this point. Tracks 6-8 are a cut from some leg
of the ZOO TV Tour. Not much to say here other than U2 did an interesting
combination of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with "Stand By Me".
Tracks 9-14 are from the worldwide broadcast of the August 28, 1993 from Dublin,
Ireland. It continues on Disc 3. Nothing new as far as the Zooropa Tour goes. If
you've heard these songs as part of their tour before, you've heard them on this
disc. The sound quality is quite exceptional for a bootleg, with very little
interference or that sort from the audience. In all, I would highly recommend
this set to anyone who can get their hands on it. It was a little pricey if I
can remember right, somewhere around $90CA, but worth it. The only downside is
that there are no liner notes. There are only a few pictures (some of which
aren't bad) that have been collected throughout the tours. Enjoy!

Comments:
This is a nice collection from Australia. All of the tracks came from fantastic

as well. The transition from song to song is mastered well, with audience noise
blending the tracks together. A good find, if you can find it cheap.

Comments:
[Adrian Elmer]: This disc is another version of RDS Showgrounds show in Dublin
during the ZooTV Tour (See ZOOROPA 1993, 10" REELS, ZOO EUROPA etc.). It has
excellent sound, but a few drawbacks. As well as the lack of track indexing, it
also starts with the familiar guitar sounds of Zoo Station, omitting all the
intro sound found on ZOOROPA 1993. It also only covers the first half of the
show. The bonus tracks are good quality, but can be found as part of the
complete concert on ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET. The sound of them on this CD is a
little bottom heavy after hearing the pristine sound of the Dublin show, but
turning down the bass level on the stereo leaves the sound clear. A good CD, but
get ZOOROPA 1993 and ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET if you can to hear these tracks in a
better context. Also, this CD is not indexed.

Comments:
This CD is referenced as the concert in Verona on July 3, 1993, but is the final
concert from The Zooropa Tour from Dublin, Ireland. This is the show that had
been broadcasted on the radio. It was a very emotional concert, as we can hear
in many songs. "One" was dedicated to the people of Bosnia. In "Trying To Throw
Your Arms Around The World", Bono calls Naomi Campbell to the stage to take the
Handicam. "Bad" was dedicated to Michael Jackson and "Satellite of Love" to all
the "Zoo Crew." Before "Help" and "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)", Mac Phisto
places a phone call to the "United Nations". I think Track 13 of Disc 1 and
Track 12 of Disc 2 were recorded in Verona, as the title suggests. Excellent
recording! Larry sings on "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"! Buy it
immediately if you come across it!

Comments:
The disc says the recording is from "Seattle, Washington USA '93", which
incorrect. The disc contains mostly songs from the August 28, 1993 Dublin,
Ireland broadcast, which is why the sound quality is so good. The other tracks
(9-12) sound pretty good, though the difference in quality is noticeable. The
songs are taken from some show during the 1992 summer leg of the ZOO TV Tour.
The editing between the two venues is done pretty well, with no awkward cuts or
fade outs. This disc is the first part of two, Grapefruit's LEMON is the other.
Together, they contain the whole Dublin broadcast and some extra songs.

Comments:
Even better than the official live albums! Recorded live from the mixing desk,
it's the best bootleg (including HAPPY NEW YEAR) I've ever heard. The sound is
more than perfect ! The package has superb photos. Some errors occur on the
titles, such as: "Bullet" for "Bullet The Blue Sky" and "Help Me" for The
Beatles' "Help". The version of "Stay" is very very good (in my opinion) and
"Numb" is played like the Industrial Mix on the 3-track video cassette single
for "Numb." The August 28, 1993 Dublin bootleg has long been considered perhaps
the greatest bootleg ever, and most of the reviewers say ZOO EUROPA is the best.
The ending of "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World" has Bono saying
simply "I Will," instead of the "Dublin City says I will," on other bootlegs
such as Live Storm's ZOOROPA `93 -RDS , DUBLIN 1993. Obviously, KTS has found a
way to edit it out so it misses a beat or the ending seems a little bit abrupt.
The long wait while the band is walking to the b-stage after this song and to
"Angel Of Harlem" is edited too, because it seems that the two songs were played
right after the other (which they were not). This bootleg is also edited from
"Pride (In The Name Of Love)" to "Desire". The Zoo confessions and the TV images
and interference right before "Desire" is edited (as compared to the unedited
ZOOROPA `93). So all you hear is the crowd after from "Pride (In The Name Of
Love)" and then "Desire" kicks straight in. After "Cant Help Falling In Love,"
Bono says goodnight and the bootleg fades out. In other pressings such as
ZOOROPA `93, you can still hear the Elvis version of the song from the PA while
Bono says "Elvis is still in the building," and then it fades out. From the
looks of it, this CD has obviously been remastered as seen from the edits which
have actually been quite professionally done (that is why no one has pointed
this out, maybe because they never noticed it or that they only have one Dublin
bootleg, thus no other basis of comparison. After all, who would be crazy enough
to buy different pressings of the same show?). Thus, this may be the best
sounding in terms of sound quality among all the Dublin pressings. Taken from
the worldwide broadcast, this is a great homecoming performance. The band have
even incorporated a few 'Zooropa' songs here too. It's nicely edited and an
enjoyable listen. Every bootleg should look and sound this good! Again, they go
through a large chink of 'Achtung Baby' material before going into "New Year's
Day." The fairly-new "Numb" is played next. The acoustic set also features
another new song, "Stay (Faraway So Close!)," along with crowd-pleasers "Angel
Of Harlem" and "When Love Comes To Town." "Satellite Of Love" features a
pre-recorded vocal of Lou Reed. "Bad" opens the second disc and includes a
snippet of Elton John's "Candle In The Wind," and ends with a snippet of another
new song, "The First Time." A short version of The Beatles "Help" launches into
"Ultraviolet (Light My Way)." "Desire includes Bono's Mac Phisto character's
call to the United Nations, which is actually a pre-recorded bit from Adam. The
show concludes with Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love" with nice crowd
participation. A nice release. It's also out on quite a few other labels under
different titles. Collectors and even casual fans should enjoy it. The cover
states "Live On Tour 1993." This comes with a nice 12-page fold-out with lots of
photos and a short "Professor Stone" essay. Both CDs are picture discs.

Comments:
This is similar to KTS Records' ZOO EUROPA and Backstage Records' ZOOTOPIA,
except it is completely unedited. The bonus tracks from Wembley Stadium are a
nice bonus also. The packaging is nice, with a picture of MacPhisto on the
cover. The big turnoff is that "Bad" ends Disc 1 it literally "fades away";
while "Bullet The Blue Sky" begins by "fading in" in on Disc 2. This isn't
really a good thing to do because in this concert "Bad" moves straight into
"Bullet The Blue Sky" (in the same vein "Please" moves straight into "Where The
Streets Have No Name" on the PopMart Tour). They are inseparable in the way they
were played because Bono finishes the last line in "Bad" on the intro of "Bullet
The Blue Sky." This boot, however, does have the complete show, including the
introductions, the ZOO TV Confessions, and the Elvis ending with Bono saying
"Elvis is still in the building..." (not present on KTS Records' ZOO EUROPA).
The sound quality of this bootleg is also excellent, but KTS Records' ZOO EUROPA
gets a slight nod for presenting "Bad" and "Bullet The Blue Sky" on the same CD
(Disc 2). On the other hand, the plus for this boot is that it has the complete
show and is unedited (except for the nasty fade out on Disc 1 and fade in Disc
2). It's basically a toss-up.

Comments:
The "zillionth" release of the Dublin radio broadcast. Track 1 starts at the
start of the song "Television, The Drug Of A Nation" and even the video
confessions are included! To me, this bootleg offers the best sound quality
available. A small drawback is the bad editing. Sometimes you hear a small skip
between the songs, as if someone stopped the recorder to save space. This means
that the very good video confessions (in which almost the entire crew appears)
ends abruptly and that we miss the first two seconds of "Fanfare". About the
quality of the concert, it has been said enough, it's great! The three songs
from Wembley Stadium are a nice addition. To me, the recording doesn't sound
like soundboard, it's too soft and the mixing is not good enough to be a
soundboard recording. Unfortunately, "Zooropa" starts in at 2/3 of the studio
recording, and does not equal the studio version. "Babyface" is better, although
in the end, Bono seems lost in the song. The the "rarity" of these tracks makes
up for all the mistakes. This is another treasure.

This show was broadcast live on world-wide radio. Recorded live from the mixing

package has superb photos (although not many). Some errors occurred on the track

confessionals was played. The booth was located on the floor of the stadium and
people could walk in and say anything they wanted to the camera. During the
Dublin shows, the road crew recorded various video segments for the video
confessionals. Many boots were made from this recording, even an identical

Comments:
The quality of this show is amazing. It has to be recorded from the bands
monitors, you can't hear the crowd, but can hear breathing on the mics and
thumping of guitars and other little stage noises. the sound is a tiny bit
muffeled at times, but other than that its amazing to hear a bootleg with almost
NO audience! This is a good companion to the Sydney 1993 soundboard show. The
previously-released ZOOMERANG IN ADELAIDE set cut the encore. This show seemed a
bit more honest and less 'planned' than Sydney. The phone call was never
explained properly. The person whom Bono called was an ex-soccer coach named
Graham Cornes (who is now a television commentator). Cornes had just married a
17 year-old girl and had gotten her pregnant - mind you this is when Cornes was
about 46 years old! That's why Bono was saying that he knew Cornes could help
him out with the "young girlies." I doubt that this adds to the show, but it
does make the whole thing a bit funnier.

All tracks on the album sound great, except Disc 2, Tracks 4-6 reveal some
recording flaws when listened to with headphones. For best effect, listen to the
album on speakers. The demos are especially satisfactory (note, though, early
demos are usually of lower quality than most other portions of a bootleg).
Comments:
If you are looking to add a Zooropa bootleg to your collection, this is it. The
company is very generous, as exemplified by the amount of music available on
these 2 CDs. The Zooropa concert is smooth. If you want to hear Bono's act and
him talking, then you will be disappointed. I you just want to hear continuous
stream of U2's more recent songs, you will definitely be pleased. The demo songs
are great too, especially if you like the 'Boy' songs. Tracks 12 and 15 are
mislabeled "No Man's Land" and "City At Night". The origin of Disc 2, Track 7 is
not clear. Some claim that it is the unreleased Track U2 recorded at a Long
Island studio in mid-late November, 1981.

Comments:
This is a nice collection from Australia. All of the tracks came from fantastic
sources, but when they were pressed to disc somehow a bit of static was pressed
as well. The transition from song to song is mastered well, with audience noise
blending the tracks together. A good find, if you can find it cheap.

Comments:
The disc says the recording is from "Seattle, Washington USA '93", which
incorrect. The disc contains mostly songs from the August 28, 1993 Dublin,
Ireland broadcast, which is why the sound quality is so good. The other tracks
(9-12) sound pretty good, though the difference in quality is noticeable. The
songs are taken from some show during the 1992 summer leg of the ZOO TV Tour.
The editing between the two venues is done pretty well, with no awkward cuts or
fade outs. This disc is the first part of two, Grapefruit's LEMON is the other.
Together, they contain the whole Dublin broadcast and some extra songs.

Sound Quality:
Good to very good television broadcast.
Comments:
The source listed for this is November 26, 1993, which is incorrect. Having
heard this one, it sounds a tad better than ZOOROPA DOWN UNDER because Bono's
voice is more prominent. The drawback is that there is some major editing
in-between the songs. Much of Bono's limited chatter is taken out yet there is
still so much space left on the two discs that it all could have been left in.
"Can't Help Falling In Love" is left off of the end of the show. I am not
exaggerating at all when I tell you that the sound is simply very
"muddy-sounding" and the instruments seem flat. It lacks range and clarity,
while sounding artificial. The crispness and sharpness of this bootleg is
absolutely zero. I sometimes question whether this is really a broadcast bootleg
or not, but since I don't hear any crown noise, it has to be a broadcast. I'd
assume this was recorded off the pay per view broadcast (which did have really
"muddy" sound quality) and then edited to exclude "Can't Help Falling In Love"
for some unknown reason.

This seems like a safe bet because it has the concert in it's entirety. It was a

Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard / broadcast. Has a slightly "muddy" mix to it.
Comments:
This is the complete show from which the pay-per-view broadcast was taken. The
band play a strong set that had achieved a good balance of 'Achtung Baby' and
'Zooropa' material by the final stretch of the ZooTV Tour. Highlights include a
great performance of "Lemon" and "Love Is Blindness". This CD includes the video
taped "audience confessionals" that were broadcast over the stadium monitors
before the band came back for the encore after "Pride (In The Name Of Love)".
That segment was not included in the commercial release of this show on video.
There is also a very clean edit which omits a couple seconds of the guitar solo
during "The Fly". The sound is taken from a broadcast of the show, but the
original sound mix unfortunately could have been better, resulting in a very
"stadium" sound. Several songs are indexed together and are also misspelled,
such as "Mysterious Ways". The 2 CDs come enclosed in a very attractive digipak
that folds out in 3 panels across, and 3 panels up, and are illustrated with
numerous photos from the 1992-1993 tours. With the release of the video and
laserdisc of this show, this disc is totally obsolete except for the most ardent
completists.
This is one of two of the original pressings on this label.

Comments:
This show was broadcast on television, but when I listen to it, it sounds like
there's a wet towel covering my speakers. A lot of hiss, and not enough bass.
This is the show that was offered to cable subscribers as a pay-per-view
special. Contains material cut from the videocassette release - "Tryin' To Throw
Your Arms Around The World," the ZooTV Confessional, and parts of MacPhisto's
speech during the first encore. The sound should be much better than it is.
Possibly other bootlegs of this show have better sound quality. Still an
excellent set of one of the last Zoo TV shows. The live versions of "Dirty Day,"
"Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car," and "Lemon" are Awesome!

Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard. I have only three boots, so you'll have to excuse my poor
knowledge. This sounds somewhat distorted, but some playing with an equalizer
can help. There is some hiss present occasionally, most notably during "With Or
Without You".
Comments:
This set features the full video confessionals and Mac Phisto's speech (which
results in over 9 minutes of "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" and 11 minutess of
"Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car"). It comes with a 4-page booklet which
has has a GREAT photo of Bono and The Edge singing into their Powerbook laptop
computer. This 2CD set was worth getting for this picture alone, as it cost me
only $12! Buy this if it is cheap.

Sound Quality:
Very good soundboard. Some others have said that there is something "muddy"
about the sound which made them wonder what the heck they were they doing when
they recorded this?
Comments:
Exactly the same as Backstage's ZOOMERANG DOWN UNDER, but without the video
confessionals and some of Bono's speech before encore. A great show, but listen
to it first to make sure you like the sound. "Lemon", "Dirty Day", "Daddy's
Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car" all incredible, as has been stated previously.
This concert is pretty much a standard ZOO TV set. It is also the same concert
which can be found on video as 'ZOO TV: Live in Sydney'. What is interesting
about this recording is that although it is the same show as the video, the CD
has not been edited between songs and contains the ZOO TV video confessionals.
Content-wise, these CDs are the same as the pay-per-view special, which was
broadcast live (via a tape-delay). However, this recording does not contain the
two "skips"' as the pay-per-view broadcast and it is all in stereo unlike the
pay-per-view (which was in mono for the first 30 minutes). This CD set was
listed with two very polarized comments as to the nature of the CD. I was hence
apprehensive in buying it, but I did anyway (directly from KTS, incidentally),
and thought I would throw in my two cents worth. This is an excellent recording.
This is the concert in its entirety, including the Zoo Confessionals,
MacPhisto's comments, Bono's comments (in their entirety) after "The Fly", as
well as the inclusion of "Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World". I have
the video "Zoo TV Live From Sydney" for comparison, on audio tape as well, and I
am certain that this CD is the whole concert. The clarity of the recording is
excellent, with crisp distinction within the songs (drums, vocals, guitars,
synthesizer/sequencer parts). The audience can be heard (clapping, cheering,
etc.), but you cannot hear individuals talking with eachother. The only
noticeable drawbacks are that the bass level is fairly low, and there is an
error during Edge's second guitar solo on "Mysterious Ways" (the rift repeats an
extra time, and then Bono's entry is cut off as though it were a "skip").
Otherwise, the album sounds flawless to me.

Comments:
The booklet says that "The 2nd show in Tokyo is much better, with improved sound
quality.....". If this is true, you don't want to hear the first one, believe
me. During the whole show, you can hear people screaming and singing along with
Bono. Since they don't sing very well, this gets very annoying. The disc is also
pretty much ruined by a loud buzz accompanying the band. As the title indicates,
this is the 157th and very last ZooTV show. This is a great show with a special
atmosphere. You can almost feel that this is the end of something really big.
Mac Phisto tries to call Madonna, who watches the show from the sound desk, but
the connection fails. It's a petty this isn't a soundboard recording. Even tough
it's an exceptional performance, the poor sound quality makes it impossible to
recommend. I would pick up one of the Sydney bootlegss (which features the exact
same set list) instead. The bonus track version of "One" is very interesting
(soundboard?) recording. I've never heard it anywere else. Is it studio work?

Comments:
These discs contain the entire first PopMart show including all the mistakes,
false starts, and sound problems. The recording itself is very good. A few
excited members of the audience can be heard quite clearly chatting away and
screaming extremely loudly at times. This is made up for in the fact that the
new 'Pop' songs (and the others) come across very clearly on the recording. The
last two songs on Disc 2 are listed as "Holy Joe" and "Pride (In The Name Of
Love)," but are actually "Mofo" and "I Will Follow." These are of a poor sound
quality and the lack of any crowd noise makes me believe that they could be from
a soundcheck. A bonus in my opinion. A very good set of the "historic" Las Vegas
show. Well worth a listen.

Comments:
This is a very good soundboard of the band's first show of the Popmart Tour. Due
to a lack of rehearsal time, the band really didn't hit their stride on this
tour until the last dates of the first leg of the North American tour. However,
if you can find this disc, its worth having for posterity's sake as it is a
great quality document of the beginning of Popmart. Also notable for the
soundboard quality of "Do You Feel Loved" and "Miami," both of which the band
dropped from their show during the European leg of the tour onward (when
soundboard and broadcast Popmart shows are easier to come by.)

Comments:
This was the first night of the PopMart Tour, and U2 got off to a shaky start.
They completely screwed up "Staring At The Sun" and had to start over, and they
were a bit rough on some of the other new songs as well. Otherwise, the overall
performance is pretty decent. It should also be noted that a couple of songs
from the 'Pop' album ("Do You Feel Loved" and "If God Will Send His Angels")
played on this night were soon dropped from the setlist for the duration of the
PopMart Tour. That fact alone makes this show worth having. The sound quality is
fairly good overall, with strong bass. There is some ambient noise however, plus
the audience is noisy and that fact is a bit of an annoyance on some songs. As
you might guess, think that was an emotional concert. A decent PopMart bootleg,
but nothing spectacular. Contrary to the information on the tracklisting, Sunday
Bloody Sunday was not played. The front cover features various pictures from the
"Discotheque" video (5 photos of Bono, 1 of The Edge, 1 of The Edge and Bono and
1 of the entire band dressed as The Village People). An unneeded item for every
collection, but collectors will certainly want this show.

Comments:
A good show, but you can hear the crowd talking. Sometimes you can even hear the
crowd singing louder than Bono. I've heard better audience recordings and I've
heard worse. This version of "Staring At The Sun" is a memorable one, as they
start all wrong and are forced to start over. "Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot of
Sad is a beauty! Color cover. Disc 2, Track 11 is from the PopMart press
conference. Disc 2, Track 12 is from the ABC Frank Sinatra Tribute show which
aired on ABC.

Comments:
The cover is a computer graphic of a pair of dice. No style at all. The delay of
Pop from November of 1996 to March of 1997 wasn't good. The band had problems
with what they wanted to release. Even earlier, U2 tested the waters their
experimental faux Passengers soundtrack album, 'Original Soundtracks 1', which
sold poorly. So when it cam time to record the new album, U2 struggled to find a
new sound to maintain their superstar position. Journalists flown in to cover
the making of the album reported the band experimenting in the studio for long
hours. The search was on for the Holy Grail of Sound. Some new riff yet
unplayed. Some nifty rhythms yet to be beaten out of a drum kit. While Bono was
reportedly writing songs by word association. Like a monkey writing a U2 hit!
Yet the hype continued to pour forth with cover stories in U.S. magazines. A new
sound was promised. An even bigger tour in the offing. And perhaps the most
misguided promise ever made, the marriage of U2's rock with new electronica
emanating from London's clubs to be produced by the team of Flood and Howie B.
When the album finally hit, the fallout from the "Discotheque" single sent it
crashing off the top of the charts. And when it came time to tour, U2's vision
of a PopMart was stillborn. The notion that you could preach consumerism while
selling it at a high price was precious. When the opening concert failed to
light any fires, word-of-mouth hurt ticket sales. U2 have since been doing some
damage control. But for those who missed the opening show, a fan, through the
miracle of CD-Rs, has pressed up some copies of an audience recording. All 24
songs played at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas on April 25, 1997, are now
available for U2 fans to discuss and dissect. The sound may be distant, but it
won't hide the unevenness of the performance. U2 open unsteadily with "Mofo" and
when the crowd don't connect, Bono ups the ante and goes for the jugular,
mouthing off the mother fuckers that Mofo is slang for. Predictably, the crowd
go wild at every foul-mouth utterance. "I Will Follow" maintains a tenuous lead.
After that, Bono says. "Looks like it's going to be one of those years. Slept
inside a pyramid, woke up and saw the New York skyline, Sphinx out the back,
King Arthur's Castle around the corner... this is the only town on the planet
where they're not going to notice a 40-foot lemon." Yeah, right. Then it's back
to the new album with "Do You Feel Loved," followed by familiar favorites "Even
Better Than The Real Thing," "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" and "I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For." But after the lukewarm reception of the newer songs
"Last Night On Earth," "Gone," "Until The End Of The World" and "If God Will
Send His Angels." Bono uncomfortably utters, "We're getting' there, aren't we?"
But they don't. U2 start a slow-ish version of "Staring At The Sun," the one
genuine new anthem from Pop, then realize it won't work at that tempo. Bono
tells The Edge to scrap it ("we're just fumblin' around") and they charge into
it again. As if to take a breather, The Edge comes forward to lead the crowd in
a karaoke version of The Monkees' hit "Daydream Believer." It's a needed respite
because the fans have not been moved by the new songs. And that's how the show
goes with U2 struggling to make a connection with the crowd. Always relying on
crowd-pleasers ("Bullet The Blue Sky," "Where The Streets Have No Name" and
"With Or Without You") when the new songs hit a brick wall. You can hear the
band unsteady on old songs and new. "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" starts off
without the supercharge of guitar effects while "Discotheque" is plagued by
sound problems. The show finally closes with the familiar "Mysterious Ways" and
"One" that at least keep the fans smiling as they troop out. If U2 think they're
being bold with PopMart they should consider Springsteen's stripped down Ghost
Of Tom Joad shows where the Boss plays in smallish venues of anywhere from a few
hundred to a few thousand or Bob Dylan's last two albums of old folk songs.
That's guts. PopMart is a business gamble. U2 have raised the stakes, offering
an expansive show in giant stadiums, hoping to reap the rewards from some of the
highest ticket prices ever seen. But art has never been about commerce unless
there's a price for your soul. An OK PopMart bootleg, but you can hear the crowd
talking. This bootleg is a CDR. I have come to theorize that this boot, ROCK 'N'
ROLL AIN'T NOISE POLLUTION! and LIVE AT THE GREAT FESTIVALS OF THE '80'S are a
produced by the same producer because the cover art and graphics are similar.
Plus, all seem to be printed off an ink jet printer. Furthermore, I bought them
all at the same store. Does anyone know? The sound quality is pretty typical for
a fair audience recording. I would suggest getting one of the other titles of
the Vegas show. Perhaps POPS & CHOPS or VIVA LAS VEGAS. There are multiple
misspellings on the back cover, which is already poorly done. The tracklisting
is also wrong in various places. I would only get this if it were at a cheap
price. All in all, it is still good to have a copy of the first PopMart show,
for historical reasons.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments :
Sound quality is good all the way through, considering it is an audience
recording. Of course there is audible screaming and clapping though. "Staring At
The Sun" was introduced by Bono as "the song we screwed up the other night, so
be patient," and is played on the main stage with the whole band. "Even Better
Than The Real Thing" opens with Bono saying that the crowd is the first of the
"real people" to see PopMart, continuing with, "Opening night starts here!"
Unfortunately, Track 4 is also when the voices in the crowd seem to be talking
directly into the mic of the person taping the show. Bono's voice is still
recovering from the dry Las Vegas air, and this is evident on "Do You Feel
Loved." A very nice addition is "Holy Joe" from the K-Mart Press Conference in
which U2 announced the PopMart Tour. Disc 2, Track 11 was surely recorded at a
soundcheck. The artwork is a black and white photocopy of text only. Only a
small hand written label on the CDs themselves indicating which disc is which.

Comments:
The photo art is of the April 25, 1997 Las Vegas show, but the recording is
definitely from Denver. Bono changes lyrics to songs, like "Even Colder Than the
Real Thing." He also says, "Where the sun won't shine at all," during "Miami"
and "One mile high, not coming down," during "Gone." Bono has a great speech
during "Please" about the elections in England, Tony Blair, and his hope for the
end of the trouble. The CD liner notes says, "Thanks to Jurgen" (I'm assuming
this is the person who recorded the show). The audio quality is good. There's
some hooting and screaming, but you can hear every word during the songs and all
of Bono's speeches. The show itself had its weak points and the band wasn't at
its peak due to the extreme cold. For completists or people at the show,
however, this is a must have.

Comments:
The sound quality is poor during "Pop Muzik" and half of "Mofo," but after that
it is fair to good throughout the rest of the show. However, audience noise
(shouting, screaming, singing, etc.) is prevalent throughout. Almost all of "Pop
Muzik" is included, only a bit of the beginning of "New York, London, Paris,
Munich..." part is omitted. Between "I Will Follow" and "Even Better Than The
Real Thing," Bono comments on how cool is was to see a giant "U2" on the side of
the mountain (referring to the University Of Utah's altered "U" on a nearby
mountain). On "Do You Feel Loved," Bono's voice sounds much better than in Las
Vegas (April 25, 1997). "Staring At The Sun" is with the full band on the main
stage (not acoustic). Before the start of "Daydream Believer," Edge proclaims,
"Never before in the state of Utah!" The only three reasons I would encourage
people to buy this CD are if you were at the show, you have no other boot with
"Do You Feel Loved," or you find it at as good a price as I did. Due to various
complaints that reviews from Danyel Ramelo (AKA POPclerk) were not impartial
(since he manufactured them himself), all of the comments that he submitted for
his CD-R bootlegs have been removed. If you own this CD-R set (like it or not),

Comments:
The track listing is incorrect. "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" is listed twice;
once as a track from the Eugene show and later as a track from the Utah show.
The version from the Eugene show is not on either disc and, as far as I know,
the song was not actually performed at the concert. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is
actually indexed as Track 2 on Disc 2, but is not listed on the sleeve. This
version is *not* the original song; it's a single, improvised verse with
completely different lyrics, but the same music. It works beautifully as the
ending to "Please" and the intro "Where The Streets Have No Name." Other
highlights of the discs are a very good version of "If God Will Send His Angels"
and a rare performance of "Do You Feel Loved." Disc 1, Track 13 features Edge
singing a karaoke version of the song the Monkees made famous. Overall, a good
show. Bono says a lot of things about it being the first show in Eugene, OR. It
seems to be the complete show but I could be wrong. The CD is edited very
nicely. The packaging is very nice- the PopMart Logo on the front, with the
sleeve done in PopMart colors. The back inside panel (where the CDs rest) has a
good print out of the shopping cartoon played on the PopMart screen. The inside
sleeve has one nice picture of Bono and one of The Edge. I was a little
disappointed when I didn't hear Edge give his backing vocals to "Gone," (I had
come to like and expect them in the live version of that song) but who can
resist Edge singing "Daydream Believer?" I am not sure what Bono is singing in
the beginning of "Stand By Me" on the bonus tracks. Lee Ellen contributed to
this review.

Comments:
Great performance and a good audience recording. This bootleg is good; sound and
everything. This show was played for about 30,000 people, which was probably the
smallest venue of there PopMart tour. Bono is very talkative; describing Eugene
like Dublin "warm people, rockin' town, shit weather." What is really
interesting is what the inlay says. Apparently Autzen Stadium is an open roofed
venue on a valley where the sound extends out past the stadium. The main
speakers were positioned above the stage, so U2's concert reached out into the
quiet community of 140,000. Apparently, the media was all over this the next
day, talking about noise ordinances and fines. The cover features some of the
complaints, hence the title. This bootleg is a CDR, and the only minus is that
the cover art and back seem to be printed of a color ink jet printer there are
no pictures of the band. The cover features no photos, but does include an
article from the local paper, and the liner notes has a summary of the concert.
Not that bad, but could stand some improvement. I do not know about the
availability of this one. I have come to theorize that this boot, VEGAS STYLE
and LIVE AT THE GREAT FESTIVALS OF THE '80'S, are all produced by the same
person because the cover art and graphics are all similar. All seem to be
printed off a ink jet printer, and I bought them all at the same store. Does any
one know? After buying VEGAS STYLE, I found this a much better listen. The
recording is better, not great, but very listenable. The CD-R is indexed better
than VEGAS STYLE as well. The show opens with a remix of M's "Pop Muzik," and
then the band kicks into "Mofo" and a bass-heavy "I Will Follow." The band seems
a bit more comfortable with the new material here. "Last Night On Earth" gets my
vote as U2's best new song. Another karaoke rendition of "Daydream Believer" by
the Edge. "Please" ends with the drum rolls for "Sunday Bloody Sunday" with The
Edge joining in with the guitar riff. Bono sings the first lines but abandons it
and improvises a few lines. The encore is without "If You Wear That Velvet
Dress." not that it is missed - they didn't play it on this date. A solid show.
Don't pass it up (if it is cheap).

Comments:
An excellent sounding bootleg of a complete show from the first leg of the
PopMart tour. first leg PopMart show. Some songs lack rehearsing but most sound
great. I don't like the idea of bonus tracks at the end of the first disc, but
Larry's renditions of the "old Irish drinking songs" are very interesting. The
bonus tracks on the second disc can easily be found on other bootlegs. All pics
are POP-era, but who in the world is "Garry Mullen"?

Comments:
Color cover. Track 2 is not listed on the cover. There is too much echo and
occasional intrusions by the people around the taper. This bootleg comes housed
in a bland double (thick) jewel case. A whole lot better of a performance than
the Vegas show, which was the only concert I'd listened to before this. However,
the quality is a bit lacking, especially when the Sarajevo broadcast is now
easily obtainable. Worth picking up only by the dedicated (hard core) fan.
Pretty good quality overall. According to the guy who sold this to me (usually
quite reliable) there won't be too many of this particular boot released in the
US. Most will be sold in Japan where it was made. The guy who sold it to me said
there were only 100 in the US and he had 80 of them, so I doubt there will be
that many of this particular boot sold here in America. He also said it was
limited pressing of 500 CDs, but we all know how that can change. He's a very
reliable source, so I have no reason to doubt him. Of course, it could always be
reprinted on another label.

Comments:
This is a pretty good bootleg. There is definitely some audience noise present,
but it is not so bad. Several times throughout the show, a woman can be heard
giving her thougths on how "fucking awesome" Bono is. The vocals on some tracks
are a little weak, and "If God will Send His Angels" is very bad. There is no
"Pop Muzik Intro" on this bootleg, so the CD starts with "Mofo." Other than
that, this is a pretty good bootleg of a definitely good show. Additional
comments and info needed on this bootleg.

This is a great CD set. This was pressed in very limited numbers from an
original audience DAT of the show. The band sounds great on this day and Bono
seems to be in good spirits, even though the screen was completely screwed up
from a rain storm the night before. Bono says, "Last time we came to Washington,
I broke my shoulder, this time a monsoon nearly took out the whole telly...
what's wrong with you people!?" (Of course, the "broken shoulder" incident was
on the Joshua Tree Tour, and not the "last time" they were in D.C.) This is a
great CD set of a great show. Get this show on any bootleg CD you can find.

Comments:
The first track is truly fantastic! U2 open the European Music Awards with a
great performance of "Mofo", after a fabulous introduction by Dennis Hopper. The
sound quality is perfect.
U2's performance at The Tibetian Freedom is also excellent. The best part comes
at the end when Bono sings a few lines from Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as a
tribute to the deceased Jeff Buckley. Unfortunately the sound quality is really
bad for a broadcast. There's a lot of annoying hiss on all the tracks and loud
noises are distorted. It sounds as if these tracks were taken from a (crappy)
RealAudio-broadcast on the Internet. Definitely not CD-quality material. The
other half of the disc has tracks from the second Edmonton concert,
uninterrupted from "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" to "Sweet Caroline". For more
information about these tracks, please see AMAZING GRACE. This bootleg is good
if you wanna hear U2's kick-ass performance at the MTV European Music Awards and
at The Tibetian Freedom Concert. Don't buy it for the Edmonton tracks, because
that concert can be found in its entirety, with better sound quality, on AMAZING
GRACE.

Comments:
This is quite a cool CD. Even though the sound is not absolutely excellent,
there are some really rare tracks that U2 didn't play very often on the PopMart
Tour. First of all, the combination of "Please" and "Hallelujah" from the
Tibetan Freedom Concert, which Bono dedicates to the late Jeff Buckley. Other
great stuff is the performances of "If God Will Send His Angels," "Slow
dancing," and "Sweet Caroline." During the Edmonton tracks, a slight hiss can be
heard "above" the recording. This CD is great if you're looking for some rare
PopMart stuff combined with the standard tracks.

Comments:
This is the first Canadian date of PopMart and the first time that U2 has ever
played in Winnipeg. The sound at the concert was a little off and it is a bit
evident on the tape. This concert took place only a few weeks after the Red
River flood was over and Bono made a great, emotional speech about the river and
the people of Winnipeg. This show contains an acoustic version of "If God Will
Send His Angels" which is not only moving, but beautiful. The soundcheck is
great bonus. The band plays such songs as "Mofo", " I Will Follow," and a
interesting jam. The CD-R, must have been produced in Winnipeg. The cover
consists of a picture of the PopMart stage as seen early in the morning on the
day of the show. The book contains pictures of fans, local personalities, and
the band driving into the stadium for the soundcheck. Nice book, about 6 pages.

Comments:
A great show, and a must have for any Canadian U2 fans. Tracks 9 through 21 on
Disc 2 are the soundcheck. This show was recorded with DAT recorders in the
audience, then mastered professionally. Disc one's cover is Bono in front of the
Jumbotron (which is showing Bono) and Disc two's cover show the band emerging
from the lemon for the encore, with Edge just starting down the stairs. There is
another relase of this date, but the quality is far inferior, so beware. The
crappy one has bono on the front (with the long eighties hair) and is on CD-R as
well. There is another CD-R release of this show, but it sounds like it was
recorded on a walkman and released without being mastered.

Comments:
This bootleg is by far the best one from the first leg of the Popmart Tour that
I've heard so far. I'm a bit surprised that with today's technology most
bootlegs recorded during the first leg sound pretty crappy. Luckily this one's
an exception. I can't even tell for sure whether it's an audience or soundboard
recording, although I assume the former. The setlist is pretty standard, as with
most of the Popmart concerts. Bono shouts "Having a ball at the mall, y'all!
Supermarket Superman!" during "Even Better Than The Real Thing". Before "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" he says he would like to see The Edge as
mayor of Edmonton, which draws a big cheer from the crowd. There's a nasty edit
2:20 into the song, but it's the only real flaw I could detect. Bono sings he
feels "like a bird flying high in the northern sky" during "Last Night On
Earth". It's a shame "If God Will Send His Angels" is played without drums and
bass because this way it sounds very boring. A very nice surprise is the
acoustic rendition of "Slow Dancing", which has only been played a few times
before. Bono adds a line about Edmonton to "Staring At The Sun" and The Edge
dedicates his karaoke version of "Sweet Caroline" to "Todd - you know who you
are". "Discothèque" sounds great, along with "If You Wear That Velvet Dress".
During the intro to "One" Bono thanks the Fun Lovin' Criminals, Howie B and
everyone who came out to see them play. He sings a very short part of
"Hallelujah" and dedicates it to Jeff Buckley, bringing an emotional end to a
very good concert.
Eight tracks from this concert - along with the Tibetan Freedom Concert - can be
found on PRISONERS OF CONSIENCE and MYSTERIOUS WAYS, but this bootleg has better
sound quality. The artwork is fantastic, but it's no wonder given the fact that
it was taken directly from the official Popmart Tour Program. My advice? If you
want to buy a bootleg from the first leg of the tour, be sure to get this one.
It's a lot better than all the others I know of.

Comments:
[Original review from Rob]: The sound quality of this CD is not the best.
[New review from Steve]: In respect of the review already included in FLOM, I
disagree about this bootleg's sound quality. In my opinion, it's "very good to
excellent audience". One can clearly hear the audience in between tracks, but
not nearly as much during the songs. Disc 1 starts with "Pop Muzik" fading in.
"Honey, we're home. Where else would you wanna be?", Bono says before "Even
Better Than The Real Thing". During the intro to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For", he thanks the crowd and delivers the speech about eating the
monster before it could eat U2 and about "finding peace in the neon". The song
segues right into "Stand By Me". Unlike during Zoo TV, there are no drums in
this song. As common on the first leg of the tour, "Last Night On Earth" is
played much later in the set than during later legs. Bono's microphone
malfunctions at the beginning of "Until The End Of The World", leaving us
without the first few lines. The Edge plays a little bit of "If God Will Send
His Angels", before changing to "All I Want Is You". The transition sounds
beautiful. "Staring At The Sun" is the acoustic version as U2 will play
throughout the rest the tour. The Edge starts his karoake version of "Daydream
Believer" but he quickly says "I think I'm busted" when The Monkees' Davey Jones
(who originally wrote the song) comes onstage to sing along.
There are two skips during "Please", but I don't know if all copies are like
that or just mine. Bono dedicates "Where The Streets Have No Name" to Allen
Ginsberg, who has died shortly before. He also recites one of his poems,
reminiscent of what he did during the 1989 Dublin shows, after Samuel Beckett's
death. A little girl is bought onstage during "If You Wear That Velvet Dress".
Bono asks for her name and age and then tells about his own daughter(s). It's
such a sweet moment. "With Or Without You" does not contain the "We'll shine
like stars"-part, unfortunately. A short version of "Unchained Melody" ends the
concert. The bonus tracks are from the third night in Chicago. The sound
quality's almost as good as on the Los Angeles tracks. "Miami" is mislabled as
"Please" on the back cover. "Miami" and "Bullet The Sky" are both very nice
additions to this bootleg. AMAZING GRACE, with the Edmonton concert played only
6 days before this one (and also by Kobra Records), offers better sound quality
than this bootleg, but not by much. So you might wanna pick up both.

Comments:
The sound quality is a fair to good audience recording. The quality is similar
to „Pops and Chops“ (Las Vegas). There is about the same bass but the vocals are
a little quiet in some spots. There is less whistling and audience noise than
the Vegas CD. Before I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Bono gives a
speach talking about Pop Mart and comments on the beach balls that were being
tossed through the air. There is a little part of the Doors Break On Through at
the end of Until The End Of The World. During Last Night On Earth Bono adds a
few lines about Madison. This was a great show but not the best recording I've
heard from the Pop Mart Boot Legs.

Sound Quality:
Good to very good audience.
Comments:
A few songs, such as "Hallelujah," "MLK," "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.

Great concert! Bono has a tremendous start. His voice is strong and he talks

which U2 played r "New Years Day." Unfortunately, somebody cut "Gone" from the
original tape. The quality of this bootleg is excellent, and is comparable to

Comments:
This was the first European PopMart show, but this 2-CD set covers both the
entire Rotterdam Show and some highlights of other European PopMart shows. The
PopMart logo is printed on both CDs. On the both the front and inside covers,
there are pictures of out boys taken from the printed PopMart tour program
(which was sold at the concerts). Both CDs feature a very good audience
recording and are very dynamic. The person(s) who recorded this show were in
good position. The sound quality is much better than an average audience
recording ("Discotheque," for example, sounds very clear). Occasionally, you can
hear someone talking, but it is not very obvious at all. The show itself was
great. According to the bootlegger himself, this was the best available sound
recording that was available at the time of pressing. It's not soundboard
quality, but for an audience recording, it is very good. Those folks in
Rotterdam don't seem to miss a U2 beat, as further confirmed by this fine
release. This recording appears to be from a digital audience source. There is
very little crowd noise on this recording (a good example of this is at the end
of "Pride (In The Name Of Love)"). There are no annoying conversations going on
in the foreground, as is the case on some other recordings. The overall balance
is very good also. The bass element is more prominent than the high-end, but I
think this is due more to arena audio acoustics than to poor recording
technique. The band's "Pop Muzik Intro" sounds simply "arena-pounding" and
massive. Depending on your stereo setup, you might need to turn the bass down a
little. It is not distorted, but it is very powerful. Then again, if you don't
mind replacing windows, let it rip. The acoustic version of "Staring At The
Sun," complete with delightful Edge harmonies, is just plain fantastic. Such
delicate songs rarely succeed in "boomy" stadium settings, so either U2's sound
engineer should get a raise, or whoever recorded this deserves a cigar. My
current sentiment is that perhaps both should be commended. The bonus tracks are
also good quality. Disc 1, Track 1 and Disc 2, Tracks 12 and 14 are The Edge
singing karaoke versions of songs made famous by Gary Glitter, Golden Earring,
and The Monkeys (respectively). Especially notable is the cover of Golden
Earring's "Radar Love" recorded on July 25, 1997 at the Werchter, Belgium
Festival Grounds. The "driving" bass on this track is really outstanding. And
even more special is the fact that Edge is on vocals. A true treat. Overall, the
sound quality of this set is not quite as good as the legendary June 11, 1992,
Stockholm, Sweden Globen recording, but POPDREAM BELIEVER FIRST NIGHT IN EUROPE
does not disappoint. Overall, this is a great masterpiece! For anyone who is
looking for a good bootleg of the European shows, I don't think they'll get much
better than this! The crowd noise only comes in when necessary. The sound
quality deteriorates only slightly somewhere on Disc 2 (I heard that the rain
started to pour). Bono's voice is in top shape for this concert and he has no
problem hitting the high notes. Highlights are "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For," "All I Want Is You," and "Staring At The Sun." The bonus tracks
aren't of much significance although "Daydream Believer" has good sound quality.

Comments:
The sound quality on this bootleg is of a great standard and better than a lot
of the popmart boots available. The sound is as good as one can realisticly
expect of a non soundbord boot. I would say that the sound is marginally better
than that of Live at Leeds and obviously not as clear as the Mexico/ Sarajevo
etc recordings. Crowd noise is evidant at times but is just the right level and
does not disrupt the C.D. The karaoke song is I Love You Love which is a Gary
Glitter Cover and the vocals can be heard very clear unlike a lot of the karaoke
songs on the bootlegs. M.L.K is a short version but Rain is full length. The
bonus tracks are nothing spectacular Radar love is a bit clearer than the
version from the other Rotterdam Show but the crowd noise is what makes the
Rotterdam version and this one is not as enjoyable. Black Betty / Whole Lotta
Love is lifted straight from a version of Discotheque and Stand By Me and
unchained Melody are lifted straight from the ends of songs. Daydream Believer
is one of the better sounding boot versions but ends a second or two before it
should. I paid £20 for this double cd (NOT CDR) and was happy with my purchase
and would recommend this to anybody after a good Popmart Audience Boot. M.L.K is
not listed on the back cover but is tracklisted and Rain is listed as RAM. The
front cover is a colour picture of the top half of Bono with his popmart bubble
suit on with his shades on his forehead (I am lead to believe that this cover is
from Leeds Popmart) the inlay features more pics and the back cover is a picture
of Bono raising his arm alongside Adam and The Edge. More cd's are Orange with
Rotterdam 1997 in black text. For additional comments about the sound or the
concert, please see the review for POPDREAM BELIEVER FIRST NIGHT IN EUROPE. As
far as content goes, these two sets seem to be identical. Even the bonus tracks
are the same. The only downfall of this set is the "slim" packaging. There is a
4 panel booket, with the inner pages being a collage of black and white photes.
Deluxe color cover with a picture of Bono giving almost a "Come on, pleeeease?"
look to the crowd. Attractively presented, good sound; my advice - scoop this cd
up the first chance you get.

Comments:
Disc 1, Track 12 is The Edge singling Golden Earring's "Radar Love." You can
hear the instruments and the vocals very clearly. You can only hear the audience
between certain songs and also during the melody of some of the
"softer-sounding" songs. Keep an eye out for this one! Disc 1 is yellow with
black letters. Disc 2 is black with yellow letters. The front cover features a
head shot of Bono smoking a cigarette. The booklet features four pages of Adam,
Bono, Larry, The Edge, and a complete tracklist. The inside back cover features
the complete PopMart tour dates. Overall, a very good CD with good sound
quality, yet compared to other better bootlegs, it is rather soft in terms of
loudness. The cover folds out and one side has the four guys, each in photo by
themselves. Adam's and Bono's have the tracklisting printed over the photo.
These four photos also appear in the '98 PopMart Australian Tour Program -
whether it's the same elsewhere is beyond me. Upon opening the case, the inside
bottom of the CD case lists the tour dates up through September 1997. The songs
themselves are their usual greatness, yet for "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For," Bono begins by singing alternative lyrics really softly. He then
begins saying, "Seems like a long time, from the paradiso and milky way, there's
the milky way. Look. Turn off all the lights will you if you can, turn off all
the lights if you can. Same band, same four fuckers. Still in love with what we
do. Are you in love with what you do? Then you're blessed people. And thank you
for sticking it out with us people over the years. Thank you." [The „Paradiso“
is a famous concert venue in Holland (see the alhabetical list on October 30,
1981). The 'Milky way' is actually the Melkweg (=milky way in dutch), which is
also a famous venue. He refers to these places to indicate that they have made a
long trip to make it so far. On July 18 he also says this.] Pretty
emotionally-charged stuff heh? On "Stand By Me," the crowd sings along. Most
don't know the lyrics and half way through the song they all start laughing.
Happens everywhere. Here's another quote from Bono after he swore, "Don't you
hate it when pop stars swear on stage. I hate them."
[Joel Heersink]: The gig was great; the band looked as if they were really
enjoying it, and so they should've since it was only their second gig after a
month or so off and they did probably the most spontaneous act of the entire
tour - playing a Whole Lotta Love by Led Zepllin. It was Bono's idea, as he
started the thing by whispering with Edge, and the other memebrs followed suit
later. Another highlight was when the ole football chant started after Unchained
Melody, Bono mimed a free kick - much to our amusement! The show was and is
excellent - on of the best quality-wise, as well as having the only perfomances
of Whole Lotta Love and Radar Love (originally by Golden Earring - a dutch
band).

Comments:
Edge has guitar problems on Disc 2, Track 12, and he has synthesizer problems on
Disc 2, Track 13. The recording volume is too low and the bass is slightly too
high. At times, the music drowns out the vocals which make the latter barely
audible. This bootleg is not highly recommended, (although some people do
recommend it) unless for people who must have every PopMart bootleg. The
positive parts are the bonus tracks on Disc 2. On Disc 2, Track 14, Bono lashes
out at PopMart critics. This is a good European PopMart bootleg. It captures the
atmosphere of the Cologne show perfectly. Unlike some other PopMart bootlegs,
this one features a full version of the "Pop Muzik Intro," fading in a few
seconds before it starts. Throughout the concert, Bono mentions the beautiful
cathedral in Cologne and even tries to speak some lines in German. Before "I
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," he sings a bit of "Neon Lights".
Something goes wrong at the beginning of "Staring At The Sun," but when the band
start again; it sounds beautiful. The Edge's karaoke song, "Daydream Believer"
is the same as at the early dates in America. Bono repeatedly sings "Gianni"
during "Miami," since it was only about 2 weeks after Versace's death. Disc 2,
Track 5 is a nice little jam after "Discotheque". "MLK" completes a great
concert. The bonus tracks from Mannheim aren't very interesting since The Edge
had a lot of trouble with his guitar (as noted on the back cover). It's fun
though if you want to hear the band struggle. The Hannover tracks are much more
interesting. The Edge makes a rare speech before his "Suspicious Minds" karaoke,
in which he talks about the negative publicity U2 had gotten during the tour and
he mentions Elvis (the concert took place 4 days after the 20th anniversary of
Elvis' death). The performance of "Wake Up Dead Man," although very short, is
nice to have because Bono only sang parts of it very occasionally. Five of the
tracks from this concert ("Gone" through "New Year's Day") can also be found in
broadcast quality on the FIRST NIGHTS IN EUROPE bootleg. However, the sound
quality on this CD is only slightly inferior to soundboard. The volume is a
little lower than on other boots, but the sound is fairly clear. Some clapping
and whistling can be heard, but the audience noise doesn't take away from the
music at all. The front and back covers are very nice, but the booklet doesn't
offer much, just a picture of a ticket for the concert. Great show from the
Cologne concert and some nice bonus tracks from other German gigs. The sound
quality of the Cologne gig is sadly a bit dull and. The two tracks from Hannover
are better than the ones from Mannheim. The "Whole Lotta Love" jam at the end of
"Discotheque" a highlight of this bootleg. Disc 1, Track 6 is listed as "Last
Thing On Earth," and Disc 2, Track 10 is listed as Track 19. Visually, the
design of the artwork and the CD itself look great. The 'covers' take the
pictures from the popmart program. The front cover is Bono's face from "POP FOR
BOYS", the inside of the back cover is Bono from the center page fold out, and
the borders are from the base of "POP FOR CLUBBERS" (below mr edge and his big
foot). The whole CD sounds a little bit "hollow" and two of the bonus tracks are
marred by problems (as noted). (It's sounds a little bit different, but
problems?) Nice during the concert are when Bono says, "Ich habe ein frage, Wolt
ihr eine gebrauchte Trabant kaufen?" Bono presents U2's PopMart material as "our
neon cathedral." Before "Daydream Believer," Edge says, "OK, enough of this
crap. It's time to Rock!" Overall, best I can say is to make up your own minds
on this one.

Comments:
This bootleg features a pretty standard Popmart show from the first part of the
European leg. There aren't many surprises on this one. During the intro of "I
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" Bono talks about U2's first
performance in Sweden and delivers the speech of how the band got scared of the
corporate monster and decided to eat it before it could eat them. The Edge
karoakes to "Daydream Believer", just like he did on most dates in the States.
"Bullet The Blue Sky" has snippets of "I Wanna Live In America". It's hard to
believe, but the manufacturers not only put "Please" and "Where The Streets Have
No Name" on separate discs, but also cut out the beautiful transition between
the two songs. This is a terrible shame. "Lemon (Perfecto Mix)" and
"Discothèque" are indexed together. The latter has a nice jammy end with
snippets from "Black Betty", "Whole Lotta Love" and lyrics from one of the
"Discothèque" remixes. Bono talks to a girl in the crowd and dances with her
during "If You Wear That Velvet Dress". In fact it's the same girl he invited
onstage during "Bullet The Blue Sky". He also sings snippets of an unidentified
song during "Mysterious Ways". MLK is kept very short, which ends a nice but not
outstanding concert. The sound quality is excellent for an audience recording.
The manufacturers "may" have filtered out the audience noise somewhat, which
makes the sound a little artificial, although this is only an assumption. The
sound is very balanced and in my opinion definitely better than e.g. POPDREAM
BELIEVER - FIRST NIGHT IN EUROPE. All in all this is a good Popmart bootleg, but
only for people who actually went to this show and completists like myself.
There are other Popmart shows (especially from the 4th leg), which feature more
inspired and spirited performances by the band. The bonus tracks are very nice.
All the tracks from the Zoo TV concert in 1992 aren't on the bootleg IS THIS A
PARTY OR WHAT? and thus the two form a nice combination. If you combine the two
bootlegs, only "Desire", "With Or Without You" and "Love Is Blindness" are
absent. Hopefully one day they will pop up in the same sound quality on some
other bootleg. On the back cover it says "Limited Edition of 400 copies", but
since I had no trouble finding this bootleg I don't believe it's that rare.

Comments:
Color cover. Picture CDs. It's a good CD to have. "Until The End Of The World"
is performed great, as is "Please." At the end of the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix)
Intermission," you can hear Bono sing "Lemon breakdown, the lemon's broke.."
It's not the best sound quality, but on a scale of 1-10, I'd give this one a
"7." The cover has a picture of Bono and The Edge playing the guitar over top of
a picture of a newspaper (The review in Norwegian newspapers the day after the
concert). A good CD for a collector, and it's an enjoyable CD to listen to. Not
too much audience noise here. Bono's got a clear voice, the drums sound good.
Edge's guitar sounds a bit distant at times, but all-in-all a very good live
performance, and a good live recording.

Comments:
Deluxe color cover. The front cover features the band in front of the large
PopMart screen. Other pictures include two pictures of Bono and one of Adam. The
sound quality is not bad, but it doesn't sound really dynamic. It's a little
flat and there is a lot of audience clapping and yelling. Disc 1, Track 12
features a Bono doing an Elvis imitation for about 50 seconds. On Disc 2, right
before "Please" is played, Bono yells "Take that laser off my fucking face,
pal!" Additional comments and info needed on his bootleg. I find this recording
is not as good as I thought it was when I bought it. I bought it only because is
was better then the "LAST NIGHT IN EUROPE" set which I also listened to at the
shop. I think the concert is only so-so; nothing special. Instead of what is
stated on the tracklisting, there is no Track 12 (which is supposedly and "Elvis
Medley.") The photo's on the sleeve are nice to see but not very special. Buy
this recording only when you are a completist. I prefer my MISS SARAJEVO. The
discs are not picture discs.

Comments:
This is a very cool bootleg. It's a very strange type of soundboard. It's a feed
from Bono's earpiece, so for the most part Bono's voice is mixed high. Sometimes
you can hear techs talking in it, but it's not at all distracting. Minimal
audince noise throughout the recording. It's fast becoming one of my favorite
Popmart boots (I think it's better than the Mexico City boots). Package is
somewhat lacking, just a color insert and back. Lemon for the most part is cut,
just the last minute of it is in the beginning of Discotheque. The bonus tracks
are nice, since One from Nuremburg is cut off (right after Bono makes a nice
speech), so they added One from another earphone soundboard souce. However it's
not quite as good soundwise. A lot of "cracks" in the recording. The Edge's
speech before Suspicious Minds is GREAT! All in All, I highly advise this set if
you can get it.

Comments:
First off, I HIGHLY recommend this bootleg is you can get it. It was a very
limited run of 100 copies. I myself have #83. You can tell if it's an original
be the matrix numbers. On the back it says " In December 1997 a Soundboard
recording of Leeds Popmart was broadcast on French Radio in error. They meant to
broadcast the Parisian Popmart. This is a recording of that infamous broadcast."
The title isn't as rude as it sounds, as a "Cock Up" is an English slang for
screw up or mess up. In the beginning you hear a French DJ announce that they
will be broadcasting Paris Popmart. Then at the end of Rain you hear him talk
for about a minute. At the beginning you hear some French person say something
like "This is U2 live at Paris". When the track changes or "breaks", you can
hear for a brief 1/4 of a second a gap. No big deal. Lemon has been edited, so
you can only hear the lemon moving. For more info on the show, see the reviews
of "Live at Leeds". In this bootleg, Mysterious Ways was not included. That is
because of the French so that they wouldn't get into copyright trouble (because
Bono was singing snippets of "Something"). In my opinion, highlights include:
Mofo, Gone, Last Night On Earth, Singing In The Rain, Miami, Where The Streets
Have No Name, Discotheque, HMTMKMKM, and Rain. The insert (one page) and back
look like they were printed off a color printer. If you can get a copy of this
bootleg, it's worth it!

Good to very good audience. See comments.
Comments:
Color cover. Picture CDs. The sound is good for an audience recording, thanks in
large part to the powerful PopMart sound system. Bono chats to the audience on
various things, most notably former Beatle George Harrison's snotty comments
about U2 that summer. Before "Even Better Than The Real Thing," Bono
sarcastically tells the fans, "Good people of Yorkshire, you made a terrible
mistake- George Harrison says you shouldn't be here. It's all big fucking hats
and lemons and air." Bono lets loose a more powerful satiric tear at the
ex-Beatle when he includes a snippet of Harrison's most well known Beatles'
contribution, "Something," near the end of "Mysterious Ways." A marvelously
improvised (or seemingly so) 2 minute version of "Rain" closes the show,
probably as much for the Beatles as for the reported rain that night. Bono
reminisces with the crowd throughout the night, telling them before "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," "We've been coming here for a long
time-going right back. Last time was the best- the time we spent here at
Roundhay was the best concert of our tour, last year- last time." He then
jokingly adds, "Of course, tonight is crap." He digs deeper back than Zooropa:
"Going back to Tiffany's...Tiffany's with those fucking palm trees. We brought a
few palm trees with us, you'll see a little later- and a 40 foot lemon, of
course." Bono's jocularity recurs throughout the night, with statements like,
"Anyway, I hope you like all this shit because...you paid for it." At the
beginning of "Staring At The Sun," Bono begs Leeds not to laugh at his guitar
playing. The highlights of the evening, beyond the George Harrison bashing are
Bono's reflections during "Bullet the Blue Sky," when he asks, "How much do you
want for your soul?" and the moment when Bono begins singing Led Zeppelin's
"Whole Lotta Love" at the end of "Discotheque" and heavily distorted Edge plows
ahead with him, playing the well-known riff. On Track 5, before the encore
begins, the audiance begins spontaneously chanting, "How long to sing this
song." In all, this is a good show- the band obviously have a good rapport with
the audiance. The front cover attractively mimics the Who's classic 'Live At
Leeds' album. The back cover has a faint picture of Bono taken from, I believe,
a Spin or Rolling Stone article earlier in the year- April or May. The liner
notes contain an essay poking fun at the band poking fun at themselves, as well
as a complete tour itenerary containing some never performed concerts. The
picture CDs are pink and blue (for "Miami," perhaps?) and both include the
cartoon of Bono which was included in Rolling Stone's March, 1997 review of Pop.
Not a bad bootleg. There is a bit too much clapping in the vicinity of the
taper. Not very much bottom end. Certainly not the best recording or performance
from the tour, LIVE AT LEEDS should satisfy the hard-core completist but very
few others. The best thing about this set is the cover which is attractive only
for ist simplicity and novelty. But where The Who's 'Live At Leeds' was one of
the best live performances ever recorded, this is not event the best U2
performance - not even close. Disc 1 is purple and white. Disc 2 is blue and
white. The sound quality is good, but in many songs the crowd (with talking and
hand clapping) overrules the recording equipment that was used. Inside the
cover, you'll find the complete PopMart tour dates and the following review of
the show from New Musical Express (NME) by Simon Williams called 'Notorious Big
Show!'
"...It isn't called PopMart any more. No sirree. For us Blighty bleeders who
don't, like, comprehend the whole bally Yankee supermart/ market concept, U2
have craftily updated their whole touring promotion and, according to the legion
of posters smeared across the derelict pubs and shops lining the route to
Roundhay Park, rechristened it PopSport. Oh, and there's a bloody big football
on the posters as well, just in case we haven't noticed just how adroitly
they've transferred their cultural allegiances from the US of A to the U of, uh,
K. So there's this huge lemon, right. And the yellow skin peels away to reveal a
sort of vast silver citrus-shaped disco ball. And then the ball trundles along
this catwalk into the audience and then it stops and the top half sort of slowly
lifts off and U2 are standing there and this metal ladder appears and the band
walk down and all this equipment has suddenly appeared at the end of the catwalk
and the band sort of launch into 'Discotheque', like, in the middle of the crowd
and it's just the start of the encores and, no ociffer, I'm pot nissed, it
really, really did happen... As did many other things tonight, not all of them
quite so jaw-droppingly amazing, but still pretty damn saucy. See, from the
moment they dramatically appear stage-right and stride along an alleyway through
the sodding audience to a final, carefree version of 'Rain' just over two hours
later, U2 pretty much blow every conception of live performances and their
alleged limitations out of the water. Light years ago, their cursed Red Rocks
farrago (remember the white flags? The mullets? The manic bleat preaching?!
Lawks!) catapulted the freaky foursome into the shameful realm of the rawk
arena. Over a decade on, we have our own new generation of big stage bastardos,
with Oasis, Blur, Radiohead and The Charlatans already booked into suddenly
credible binocular-friendly venues before Crimbo. And rest assured that none of
them will provide entertainment on a scale anywhere near as staggering as this.
The plot is pretty simple: for the old crowd pleasers (see 'I Will Follow',
'(Pride) In The Name Of Love', 'New Year's Day') the theme is stripped down and
euphoric; for the later efforts (see the majority of the quite literally
tune-unfriendly 'Pop' album) the spectacle is all and, more often than not,
utterly spectacular. And here's the rub. U2 used to be more substance than style
Now they're more style than substance and represent older men getting to grips
with younger people's dance-dazzled sounds. Somewhere in the middle you'll find
PopSport in all its awesome, gizmo-grinning glory. "George Harrison says you
shouldn't be here!" yells Bono, a man who obviously snorts the tabloids. "It's
all big fucking hats and lemons!" It is, too, courtesy of The Edge's camp cowboy
attire and one large bright yellow bugger stage-left, but when U2's retort is
the gentlest of touches of 'My Sweet Lord' at the close of 'Mysterious Ways' you
realise just how much they're enjoying this whole supposedly hard-nosed
corporate touring fandango. The highlights, then: Bono doing his traditional
dance-with-a-girlie- from-the-audience act during a bionic 'Miami', and offering
her a cigar; the cloud-bursting lasers for 'Bullet The Blue Sky'; the way in
which Bono subverts all the Big Rock bollocks by dragging the crowd down into a
'Radio Ga Ga'-style mass clapalong; a stack of screamingly familiar songs which
we haven't got time to detail because our minds are too busy being boggled by
the cheeky, funky things in U2's life. And oh yeah, one other small-but-rather
significant bit: somewhere in the middle of the set Bono and The Edge are at the
far end of the catwalk with their acoustic guitars, duetting on 'Staring At The
Sun'. Bono has already beamingly ordered the crowd not to laugh at his
fretboard, uh, dexterity. In a few minutes The Edge will be striding solo on
that same catwalk, bellowing 'Singing In The Rain'. Throughout the entire
experience fans will be waving flowers. Dads will be shouting along. Geezers
will be hugging each other. Mothers will be clapping. Small girls will be
quivering. And small boys? Hey, we all know about small boys and their jiving,
jumpers for goalposts, right? Yes. U2, then. Loaded, daft, dizzy, and, quite
literally, Pop sports for all..."

Comments:
There is a persistent high-pitched hiss or squeak, but it doesn't detract too
much from the sound. Generally speaking, it's a worthwhile investment. BUT, Disc
1 has a length of 74:55 and that doesn't agree (or at least their style of
recording that length) with some CD players. Disc 1 skips a lot, meaning I've
only listened to half of it. Disc 2 is well behaved and has no problems what so
ever. The entire show is present, except they cut a bit of crowd noise out
before the encore, which is slightly annoying. Disc 2, Track 8 was dedicated to
Princess Diana, who had died earlier that summer. Disc 1, Track 12 is a karaoke
version. The sleeve has pictures lifted form the 'Achtung Baby' and 'Zooropa'
sleeves, and the front cover is of one of the promotional pictures for 'Pop.'
Nowhere on the sleeve is there mention of where the main recording is from,
though I am certain, without a doubt, that it is Paris. All told, this quirky
bootleg is a bit of a risk to buy.

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.

Comments:
Color cover. Not the best performance I've heard of the band, but it is still
good. It is kind of funny when they play "Macarena;" they get booed. Oh well, I
enjoy it. The packaging is superb; probably one the best packaging of any of the
bootlegs I own. The cover has 14 small pictures of the show and a picture of the
ticket. The inside has a couple of great shots of the show. All in excellent
quality color . The inside back has a great shot of Bono. The first disc is red.
The second disc is yellow. It's not one of the best PopMart shows, but it is
good all the same. Very easy to listen to and you are not distracted by the
audience. Great bootleg , it would be crazy to pass it up.

Comments:
One of the better shows from the PopMart Tour. Bono's voice cracks up a bit, but
the band makes up for it. This is one of the nicest bootleg I've seen; it's
almost perfect! The concert is very emotional. You definitely feel that playing
Sarajevo was very important to the band. Highlights include "Gone," "Sunday
Bloody Sunday," "Where The Streets Have No Name," "Miss Sarejevo," and "One."
This is the best version of "One" I've ever heard; Edge's guitar is blistering
and Bono's speech in the end ("To be united is a great thing, but to respect
differences perhaps an even greater thing. So for the city of the future,
Sarajevo! City of the Future! Sarajevo! City of the Future!") always gives me
goose bumps! Bono's voice breaks after about 6 songs, but it holds up through
the show except for "With Or Without You," when he really struggles. The whole
band plays incredibly well, and Bono makes up for his lack of voice with emotion
and intensity. You really feel for him, because you can tell how frustrating it
is for him not to be able to give Sarajevo his best. The crowd helps him out
though; singing along with (and for) Bono when he can't throughout the entire
show. In fact, determination and the crowd's generosity end up creating an
atmosphere probably more intense than it otherwise would have been. This is a
beautiful concert and will definitely stand as one of the most memorable in U2's
career. This CD has front and back inserts. The liner notes feature a Reuters
report of the event, with a brief history on Bono's promise to go perform there
and complete '97 PopMart tour dates. The booklets features lots of Pop-era
pictures. Clever use of colors and design makes this 16-page booklet well worth
looking. Both CD's have cool graphics on them. The packaging is extremely well
done, it might as well have been an official release. Considerable time has been
spent on layout, graphics, text and photos. It really is beautiful. At Sarajevo,
Bono may have lost his voice mid-way through, but U2 have found theirs. Relying
on a bedrock of older concert pleasers, The Edge's guitar shines through and
Larry Mullen drums even sound heavier. As Bono predicted after the lame start of
the Pop Mart tour, U2 need a warm up period to get their act together and this
evening's song selection bears that out. They've strategically placed all their
new 'Pop' sounds in-between old songs. Opening the show with a recording of "Pop
Muzik" segueing into their live rendition of "Mofo" then hotfooting to the
safety of "I Will Follow" gives the new songs a foundation. "Staring At The
Sun," the best tune on 'Pop,' is played acoustically to emphasize melody and is
then followed immediately by an acoustic version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," with
The Edge singing and playing it solo. The crowd enthusiastically joins in. The
other high point of is when Bono sings snippets of Talking Heads' "Life During
Wartime" (with a terribly relevant lyric "This ain't no party, this ain't no
disco, this ain't no foolin' around") inside U2's "Discotheque" makes an
immediate connection with the crowd. And when the show slacks with a tediously
slow "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" from the new album, U2 know how to salvage
proceedings when The Edge's guitar lines lead into "With Or Without You." They
also come away from Sarajevo with their rep intact but probably less wealthy
than before. U2 spent $1 million to set up their mega show far he Bosnians and
charged low ticket prices to attract the 50,000 crowd. Bono has been using U2
concerts as far back as the Mac Phisto (Zooropa) shows to attack the West for
failing to stop the Bosnian war. When he tells the crowd he wrote "Miss
Sarajevo" for them, they scream gratefulness. PopMart has been about
caricaturing the commercialism that's prevalent in pop by being a megahype
itself and finally U2 have managed to stand inside that market and yet to be
untainted. At least their rock 'n' roll attitude is intact, if their new music
is less exciting. When they close the show with "One." U2 are at their bravest
("Have you come here for forgiveness?... Have you come here to play Jesus?")
making clear their uncertainty, but also connecting with their Christian roots.
It's a reminder that their music has always stood for something. Whoever chose
the title for this bootleg has shown that bootleggers can get straight to the
heart of the matter. Throughout their recent shows, U2 have been fighting to
stay relevant and DISCONNECT is anything but about their failure to communicate.
The way DISCONNECT has been recorded, with the crowd noise always engaging in
the mix, makes this a happening event despite Bono's voice breaking at times.
Probably the most relevant U2 gig in recent times and the one to get for a taste
of PopMart '97. A nice bootleg.

Comments:
Another copy of the Sarajevo show. Despite Bono's voice during the show it is an
amazing set-very good versions of the Popmart album. The renditions of earlier
songs are also incredible-Mysterious Ways and One both being enhanced from the
Zoo TV tour. This particular copy is for the most part excellent, however there
are slight skips in the songs during "Until The End Of The World" and "Bullet
The Blue Sky". The sound quality is excellent-almost as good as Zoo Europa. It
is a great show to have to see the other members of the band pull Bono
through-Edge especially with his amazing guitar playing and very strong vocals.
It does a great job capturing the feeling of the show and the night. The
packaging is very nice but looks homemade. The jewel box had fallen apart when
it was delivered. Due to various complaints that reviews from Danyel Ramelo (AKA
POPclerk) were not impartial (since he manufactured them himself), all of the
comments that he submitted for his CD-R bootlegs have been removed. If you own

Comments:
Very good, expressive show and recording. Broadcast on the radio and copied onto
CD. Of course, it's a pity that Bono's voice is pretty bad, but the band play
very good to compensate. The best track is the acoustic version "Sunday Bloody
Sunday" sung by The Edge. "Miss Sarajevo" (with Brian Eno) is also quite good
too. The bonus tracks are all The Edge singing karaoke songs, and are pretty bad
in sound quality (compared to the rest of the tracks on this bootleg. There is a
slight "volume-adjustment" problem in beginning, but it's solved after the first
2 or 3 tracks. This is definitely one of the best shows of the PopMart Tour! It
is very obvious that Bono feels very passionately for the Sarajevo crowd. He
apologizes for his hoarse voice numerous times throughout the show. The bonus
tracks are OK; a good run-down of what songs the band used for their "Karaoke
gimmick" throughout the tour. They are not the best quality, though. Kristoffer
Meinert contributed to this review.

Comments:
This is the monumental Sarejevo concert where Bono's voice isn't up to par, but
still sounds great. The front cover is a great picture of The Edge playing away
with a spotlight glaring and a "leg" of the arch in the background. The back
cover features the tracklisting, a PopMart logo, a picture of Bono in his "Miami
garb" next to a spotlight, and two blurbs: "Bono keeps U2's promise to Sarejevo
and returns when it's safe!" and "Our apologies for the split second loss of
signal on tracks 1, 5 & 6. This demonstrates a common problem for radio type
recordings." Although this statement is false, there is a mistake on Track 10
and a few others. Also, "Until The End Of The World" (Disc 1, Track 6) is
labeled as "Do You Feel Loved?" and the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission"
(Disc 2, Track 3) is labeled as "Instrumental" and (FINALLY), "Miss Sarejevo"
(Disc 2, Track 6) is labeled as "Here She Comes (Song For Sarejevo)". Overall, I
enjoy this set. The CD-Rs are black with white lettering and PopMart logos in
the middle-right margin. They were recorded on green CD-Rs.

Comments:
This is a good bootleg. "Until The End Of The World" and "New Year's Day" are
especially good. Some tracks have minor flaws (buzzing, recording levels to hot,
etc.) but in general, this set is great. Disc 2, Tracks 10-15 range in quality
from fair audience to good soundboard recordings. Not the greatest-sounding
bootleg from the infamous Sarajevo show, but it's not a bad buy if you come
across it. Don't expect crystal clear sound. The bonus tracks are nice, but they
sound like a guy put a tape recorder outside his car window when driving past
the concert.

Comments:
This CD is like a "best of" the Sarajevo radio broadcast. Some tracks are listed
incorrectly (Track 5 is listed as "Last Night On Heart" and Track 11 is listed
as "Bullet In The Blue Sky"). REVOLUTION IN SARAJEVO is a good bootleg for
someone who is simply looking any PopMart Tour bootleg, but it simply doesn't
offer the complete show. The Saravjevo show was the only PopMart date that the
band performed "Miss Sarajevo."

Comments:
This bootleg is an very good broadcast recording with some low "hiss" during
"Please." It is an excellent concert that begins with a solid version of "Mofo."
It could have been one of U2's best concerts if Bono did not lose his voice half
way through. His voice is strong until "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" but then it
falls apart. If it were any other show the concert would have been cut short.
Although Bono's voice is not great, it is still an excellent concert. The music
is solid , while Bono tries to sing with a softer voice. The acoustic version of
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" is sung by The Edge for the first time on the tour here.
It is simply outstanding. During "Please," Bono compares the people of Bosnia to
the those of Ireland "just a little." This will most likely be the last live
performance of "Miss Sarajevo" (on which Brian Eno makes an appearance).
"Mysterious Ways" begins with a chorus of Madonna's "Get Into The Groove."
Overall, an awesome concert. Bono talks more than usual. Just remember, Bono's
voice is rough, but still sounds better than most other vocalists.

Nice bootleg, with a cover and a couple of tour pictures inside (but none from
Sarajevo). The cover represents a window of Sarajevo's newspaper stands. The
back cover consists one photo of Kosovo Stadium, one photo of Bono (not from
Sarajevo), and track listing. Has color CD label on each CD-R and uses artwork.
This concert was broadcast worldwide. At the beginning of "I Still Haven't Found
What I'm Looking For," Bono tries to speak like the locals by stating "Svirati u
Sarajevu je Vas poklon nama." This means "Playing in Sarajevo your gift to us."
Miss Sarajevo is not printed on tracklisting. It features a guest appearance of
Brian Eno. This is an Italian bootleg.

Comments:
This historical concert was broadcast live over the radio. U2 had been wanting
to play Sarajevo ever since 1993 and it shows! An over-enthusiastic Bono loses
his voice early on in the show, but the people in the crowd sing for him. He
mentions Sarajevo and its people in about every song. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" was
played acoustically by The Edge for the only time on the European leg of the
tour and it sounds beautiful. This live version can also be found on the "If God
Will Send His Angels" 4-track CD single. The performance of "Miss Sarajevo" is
very unique. It's the first time they played it as a band. Brian Eno came
onstage to sing along, while Pavarotti's voice was played from a recording.
Although this concert comes from a radio broadcast, the quality isn't what it
could (or should) have been. Maybe the reception wasn't perfect or else the
recording volume was set too high, because the loud sounds are distorted. During
the concert, an announcer of "Forces Radio BFBS" comes on four times. Luckily,
only in between songs, but it's still a bit annoying. The indexing of the tracks
could have also been better. It's a shame the transition between "Please" and
"Where The Streets Have No Name" was cut up between discs. They should have put
"Please" on Disc 2. There are no bonus tracks which makes Disc 2 a bit too
short. Apart from the front cover, all the pictures look a bit grainy. There
must surely be better recordings of this unique concert, but I got it pretty
cheap (about $27 US), so I'm not complaining too much. This concert included
great versions of "Gone" and "Please." "One," "Discotheque," and "If You Wear
That Velvet Dress" were are also really good. Bono definitely gives this crowd
everything he's got.

Comments:
A subpar copy of the Sarajevo broadcast. The "Pop Muzik Intro" is barely
present, so Disc 1 essentially begins with "Mofo." The sound represents no
improvement over a standard radio broadcast; some static and distortion is
present throughout. The biggest drawback to this bootleg, however, is the
conspicuous absence of "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me," which was obviously
performed at this concert. Not recommended at all.

Comments:
When I bid for this show on Ebay, I thought it would be a clear recording. I was
the only one to win the auction of a quantity of 10. When I recieved it, i got
original covers and two CD-R's in a normal sized case. The two CD-R's have pink
stickers of a pig with sunglasses on them and are clearly unidenified (which
made me wonder if they could be two of the same discs). This show is obviously a
radio recording that went bad since the Popmusik intro is gone and the volume is
turned up to a point where its overmodulated and you can hear the radio static.
This disc also includes a radio interview that Bono had on the phone of a radio
station of the situation in Kosevo and why it was so difficult to play there
during the ZOO TV tour. The show is great altogether but I hope to trade for a
better copy of the show.

Great show. The sound is not as clear as I would prefer on the high end, the
bass is great though, ist a nice boot. This was the night after the last of the
Toronto shows, and Howie B. was detained at customs so he was unable to mix
before the show, at one point Bono says, "Viva Minneapolis, Viva St. Paul, Viva
Howie B., Viva St. Patrick, Viva Bono!" at the start of „Even Better Than The
Real Thing“. Before „I Still Havent Found What I'm Looking For“, Bono talks
about how they remember a club called "Uncle Sams" (now First Ave.) and how they
wrote two songs off the second album here: "I Threw a Brick though a Window" and
"Stranger in a Strange Land". He goes on to say, "from the second record... this
is like a long time ago!" Bono also says, "Things have gotten pretty strange
since then actually, I think the rest of the band has really gotten very
strange, but I think I have really held on to... ya know... (laughter) I'm
really the same man" During „Until the End of the World“, you can hear a girl
yelling, "wooooo!" during a couple parts of Edges solo, you can also hear her
and some others during other parts, mainly the slower songs. The part I think is
the craziest is at the end of „Wake Up Dead Man“, Bono says, "Thank you, good
night, fuck off!" I guess the reason for this was something having to do with
the roadies or truck drivers and some union stuff. Now, thats just what I have
heard. All the songs are the same as most of the other shows from this part of
the tour, so its not as if you NEED to have this, but just the little things
make it a interesting boot.

Comments:
I was at this show and it was an amazing performance by the band. This recording
has quite a bit of audience noise and people singing along with the band, but
it's still a great show. Discotheque is a real highlight of the show, includes a
verse of The Fly at the end, very well done. Sound is good.. not the best
audience popmart recording I've heard, but it's certainly far from the worst!
Definately worth getting if you went to the show. Due to various complaints that
reviews from Danyel Ramelo (AKA POPclerk) were not impartial (since he
manufactured them himself), all of the comments that he submitted for his CD-R
bootlegs have been removed.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
I think that the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission" is missing from this
bootleg. Another bootleg of the Mexico City show. The front cover is a picture
from the "Staring At the Sun" picture shoot with the guys standing around. The
back cover is a black and white picture of Bono from 1987 with his red guitar
and leaning down holding up microphone (a common picture I've seen many times).
This is a must have! The sound is beyond excellent. The only quip is the show's
fault. Bono's microphone goes out for like a second and a half during "With or
Without You." The back incorrectly lists "Staring At The Sun" as "(Edge Solo)".
The overall performance is great, with soaring versions of "Mofo," "Last Night
On Earth," "I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (which features a
fantastic intro speech by Bono "Thanks for sticking with us. I know it gets a
bit tricky, but we're restless! Aren't we The Edge!? If it keeps us interested,
we promise it won't be bullshit for you."). There are also great versions of
"All I Want is You (which features snippets of "Never Tear Us Apart"), "Bullet
The Blue Sky," "Discotheque," "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me," and One
(which was dedicated to Michael Hutchence. Edge's solos throughout all the songs
are extended and the band is in top kick ass form. Perfect sound, perfect sound
quality. Oh well. Buy it. Additional comments and info needed on this bootleg.

Comments:
This is the best recording that I have heard from the last tour; much better
sound than the Sarajevo broadcast (soundboard) recording. Also the band is in
great form, better than at some of the shows I saw personally. Everyone is very
energetic and Bono's voice is strong and clear throughout the show. Of the
broadcasts from the PopMart tour, this is by far the most preferable. The
Sarajevo show was marred by Bono's throat problems. The Mexico City show has
been bootlegged under many different titles, no doubt due to the broadcast's
extensive worldwide coverage. The Thunderball release offers very attractive
artwork and excellent mastering making it the one to seek out. It comes with a
12-panel insert and tray liner card. The graphics are unusual in that the track
listing appears on the front and not the back. (For all you "bootleg buffs" out
there: the Thunderball (as a James Bond fan might deduce) label is the new name
for what used to be the Moonraker label.) A great bootleg. One of the best U2
PopMart shows in existence. The band is really on top form. Bono talks to the
crowd a lot (especially at the beginning of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For"). This show has one of the best acoustic versions of "Staring At
The Sun" that I've ever heard. It's as good as (if not better than) the official
live version on the 'Popheart' live EP. Edge sings "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Bono
dedicates "One" to Michael Hutchence. The show closes with an excellent
rendition of "Wake Up Dead Man." Overall, this 2 CD set is a must-have for any
collector. The packaging is superb (very professional-looking) with pictures of
the band during the PopMart tour. There is a mini bio of the band in the insert
but some of it is cut off, making it a bit hard to read. Also included in the
insert is a speculative write-up on how U2 got its name. This show was also
broadcast live via satellite Showtime in December of 1997. I predict this show
will also be heavily bootlegged like the Sarajevo show.

Maybe a standard PopMart show, but those Mexicans sure know how to cheer! It's
truly amazing how much cheering was recorded without taking away anything from
the sound quality. The sound is absolutely tops! It really sets the atmosphere!
One big surprise is "Sunday Bloody Sunday" which U2 only did at their Sarajevo
show. The version of "Mofo" from MTV Europe Music awards is introduced as a
boxing match by Dennis Hopper ("Get ready to ruuuuumble!!!!!) and truly, get
ready to rumble with this bootleg!

Comments:
Great recording of a very good show. This is a must have for the PopMart fans.
Sound quality is excellent. Bono's microphone fails a couple of times during
"With Or Without You," but this is only a minor detail. In my opinion, this
recording is much better that the Sarajevo concert since Bono does not lose his
voice here. This show contains great renditions of almost all the songs. My
personal highlights include "All I Want Is You" (including Never Tear Us
Apart)," "One," "Wake Up Dead Man" (dedicated to Michael Hutchence; very
emotional), "Staring At The Sun," "Until The End Of The World And Last Night On
Earth," "New Year's Day" (echo on the piano intro), "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss
Me, Kill Me" and "Mysterious Ways." All the other songs are great too. Like I
said, this is a great recording of a very good show, a must have. One of the
better PopMart shows I've bought. The sound quality is great, especially when U2
are play, but when there's a pause in their program, the audience is really
loud. Sometimes it takes moments before they calm down. Anyhow, this CD is good,
so if you get the chance, buy it! If you are looking for a great sounding
recording of the PopMart Tour, or not to mention any U2 concert, you will love
this 2CD set. It was recorded from the Showtime broadcast so the sound quality
is near perfect. Besides the quality of the recording, the music is also at its
best, and the crowd is really into the concert. I highly recommend this 2cd set.
CDs come in a slimline double jewel case. The front picture of Bono wearing a
Mexican hat. Disc 1 is black with silver U2 MEXIMOFO on it. Disc 2 is silver

But ... every single track has a 2 second gap between the next. This is

performance and bootleg. Get Meximofo, or another very good Mexico boot, there

Comments:
DO NOT BUY THIS SHOW FROM THIS LABEL! There are some outstanding pressings out
of this cd, but they weren't made by KTS. KTS has put out some very fine
material in the past. A couple of years ago, I would have highly recomended
Outside Broadcast among other KTS produced CDs. This was a great CD (maybe one
of the best off of the Zoo TV tour for sound quality), but since that CD was
pressed, I have heard that KTS has changed hands. IT SHOWS! The sound in this
concert is way off. The base is way too high, and everything is completely flat
and artificial. You might be able to do something with this if you had an
equalizer, but that's about it. I know that other labels have done this CD and
have done it well. Buy this terrific concert from one of those labels. For a
very simular review on another recent pressing by KTS that was again from a
*BROADCAST* show that didn't turn out well at all, see Kevin Vigil's review on
the January 31st, 1998 Sao Paulo, Brazil show.

Comments:
The package lists that Disc 1 has 16 songs, it has 15. The "Pop Muzik Intro" is
omitted. "Bullet The Blue Sky" and "Please" have some sort of tape "skipping"
sound on them for about 30 seconds each. It was the original tape, not the CD.
"With Or Without You" breaks up a bit, but that was due to Bono's microphone.
All the songs are off by a little bit. Whoever put this together didn't know
where to separate the songs. The sound quality is BY FAR the best I have heard
on any U2 boot. If you listen to the whole thing all the way through, this is
great. Skipping to songs is a bad idea though. This is NOT the best Mexico
bootleg to get.

Sound Quality:
Very good television broadcast.
Comments:
This was the show that was broadcast on Showtime in the US. This bootleg appears
to be very low-budget. The cover and back are cheap paper, and the pictures must
be off a computer printed with a laser or inkjet printer. The discs are also
CD-Rs, a further indication that this set is most likely a low-print run and
cheap production. However, this bootleg is recorded right from the broadcast and
there are very few soundboard or broadcast PopMart shows on the market right now
(mostly just Mexico and Sarajevo broadcasts have been bootlegged many times).
This show is complete, and it is a damn good one! There is some static on a
number of the tracks (which can be a bit annoying), but this was most likely due
to the transmission and the reception of the broadcast. For the most part, the
sound is clean, the bass is good and heavy, and Bono is really "into" the show.
The static may bother some people, but given the proliferation of audience shows
(albeit there are some great ones) this is still a broadcast show and its an
energetic performance; the crowd is very much "into" it as well. I would
recommend this bootleg if you can find someone to make you a CD-R copy, but
that's about it.

Comments:
Overall, a good bootleg. The sound is really good with the exception of the bass
being almost non-existent and a few echoes because of the venue. Bono is in top
form. His voice doesn't miss a beat. A very emotional and high-powered set as it
was the last US show. You can hear the people around the recorder, but they're
really not that annoying. A great show if you were there. The only
disappointment is "Mysterious Ways" because of the bass problem. Other than
that, the show is amazing ... Bono misses a verse in "Until the End Of The
World" and the band has a few close in totally screwing up a few songs. But
being the great musicians that they are, they pull threw it and give an amazing
show ! The bonus tracks on this CD are both live. "Love Is Blindness" sounds
exactly the same as the one from the "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" live format
single. I have no clue as to where „MLK“ is from.Due to various complaints that
reviews from Danyel Ramelo (AKA POPclerk) were not impartial (since he
manufactured them himself), all of the comments that he submitted for his CD-R
bootlegs have been removed. If you own this CD-R set (like it or not), please
send in a review. Additional comments and info needed on this bootleg.

Comments:
I'd rank the sound quality to be equal to the San Diego show. There is very
little bass and a lot of audience noise. On Disc 2, most of the "Lemon (Perfecto
Mix) Intermission" was edited out. The track listing on the sleeve does not
exactly match the description on KTS's web site. Apparently this bootleg
contains a lot of "hiss." A better bet might be SAO PAULO or SAO PAULO, both
from unknown manufacturers. Additional comments and info needed on this bootleg.

Very good to excellent television broadcast.
Comments:
After playing Sao Paulo, the Edge told a reporter that this was the best show U2
played in South America, and I have to agree that this is a great performance.
All the songs are performed well, but a few stand out, such as: "Mofo," "Gone,
and "Sunday Bloody Sunday." "Where The Streets Have No Name" is super; my
favorite piece is a new and very cool bass line Adam plays during the chorus.
"With Or Without You" is amazing, and "Mysterious Ways" has a new, keyboard
heavy opening which takes the funk/pop theme even further. My absolute favorite
is "40". It's sung beautifully by Bono over a simple interpretation of the song
by the Edge alone on guitar, where he plays the bass line and melody at the same
time. There is a lot of emotion in the song, and one of the nicest renditions
ever. No offense to anyone that was there, but it's much better than the Seattle
version. The sound quality is very good, although there is a little crowd noise
during some songs, more than you'd expect from a broadcast. The editing is
somewhat homegrown; the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission" is edited out, as is
most of "Pop Muzik," and rather than fading in and out, the sound is simply cut
off. Other than that, this is a great bootleg, and an awesome concert. A nice
recording of a very good show broadcast by MTV Brazil. The sound quality is very
good, but not as good as the Dublin 1993 radio broadcast or the Mexico 1997
television broadcast. An interesting thing is that keyboards are mixed very
loud, so You can hear some sounds you've probably never heard before. A must for
all collectors, but if you are looking for only one good PopMart recording, you
should buy a boot from the Mexico 1997 broadcast (best sound) or from the
Santiago 1998 broadcast (best setlist). By the way, this boot is said t have
better sound quality than KTS Records' BRAZIL. This boot is often referred to as
a soundboard recording, but it is really recorded from the MTV broadcast on
Brazilian television. The sound is a bit flat and the acoustics of the stadium
give this recording a sort of echo sound that can be annoying at times. This is
especially noticeable when the crowd is clapping. This boot is one of the few
PopMart recordings that has "40" so in that regard, it is a bit of a rarity.
"Discotheque" includes part of "Staying Alive." This CD set comes in double
slimline jewel case. The front cover features a picture of Bono. The booklet
contains a few PopMart concert pictures. The CDs are yellow with big green "U2
SAO PAOLO 1998" letters on them. Since the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission"
is omitted, so after Disc 2, Track "unlocking" of the lemon is heard, and
"Discotheque" is played. Before "Staring At The Sun" is played, Bono wishes the
Brazilian soccer player "Romario" a happy birthday.

Excellent broadcast.
Comments:
U2 makes quite a good show in Sao Paulo. Bono talks a lot to the audience,
mostly in Portuguese. The CDs comes in very very nice packaging; a double
digipack with "flipout" cover. There are some mistakes in the indexing, though.
On Disc 1, "Pop Muzik" and "Mofo" are listed as separate tracks, but they are
indexed together as Track 1. "Last night on earth" and "Where The Streets Have
No Name" are also erroneously indexed as two tracks each. On Disc 2, Track 3 is
listed as "Encore One: Lemon Perfecto Mix (1997 edit)," but this track has for
some reason been cut from the recording. Also, the outtro from "40," is listed
as INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart," but it is not present here. Still, the CDs are
a very good buy, with stunning packaging and excellent sound. If you are looking
for an ABSOLUTELY complete PopMart show, then this might not be for you.

difficult (if not impossible) to find outside of Argentina and that they were
released by the very radio station that broadcast the concert! If this is the
case, these CDs (or CD-Rs) probably have great sound quality. This show was
broadcasted by the local radio station. I first listened to the broadcast and
ten months later bought these CD´s. But, they are not the radio broadcast. I
also got the video of that show copied from a master copy. Both the video and
the CD´s have the same sound errors. My theory is that these CD´s were taken
from the video (typical VCR noise can be heard) and then masterized in some way.
The broadcast sounded great, this bootleg does not. It has a lot of volume
fluctations, low frequency distrotion on some songs and some noticeable hiss and
strange clicks in the higher frequencies. Well, till now it´s the only copy
around that I know. Hope to find a better one.

This is very, very cool show! The band pulls off a brilliant performance.
"Mothers Of The Disappeared (incl. El Pueblo Vencera)" is an outstanding and
rare performance on PopMart in which Bono as introduction talks to the former
Chile dictator Agosto Pinochet. During the song the actual mothers of
"disappeared" children talk about when and where they lost their children. One
disappointment though: at the end of "Where The Streets Have No Name," the song
fades and cuts out the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission" to "Discothèque." The
Santiago crowd is very enthusiastic and help make this show very memorable.
Their shouting and cheering doesn't take away from the quality of this bootleg.
One of the best concerts from the PopMart tour captured in the absolute best
form I have heard. The sound mix is near perfect. A stunning performance, with
the first performance of "Bad" on the PopMart tour. The sheer power of "One" and
"Mothers Of The Disappeared," with the Mothers coming up on stage with the band
is overwhelming. "Staring At The Sun" is not complete. Do not pass this one up!

Comments:
This is an awesome boot. Apparently recorded from a radio broadcast, these two
CDs offer excellent sound quality. However, I must also state that there are a
few negative comments about this boot. Most important is the fact that the first
half of Staring At The Sun is missing, as is the end of Where The Streets Have
No Name (the Playboy Mansion part)! Staring At The Sun begins halfway with
"Intransigence is all around...". This is a real pity since the performance
sounds exceptional. The same holds for Streets, where it seems as if Bono is
singing something different during the ending (but then the song fades away).
There are at least superb and complete versions on the Popheart EP, but it is
still unfortunate that are missing here. Edge's 'wailing' guitar during Gone is
also mixed too far to the back, but this seems to be a mistake from the mixer in
the stadium, not of the bootlegger. At least we can hear Bono playing rhythm
guitar clearly! So far for the negative comments. The concert is ace. U2 was
certainly on it that night. Every song sounds fresh. When listening I discovered
many little variations in the performance (extra keyboard sounds during Mofo,
slightly different sequencer during Bad, etc.). Bono's voice was in exquisite
shape. There are no other words to describe the performance. Emotional high is
the last song, Mothers Of The Disappeared, when the Mothers appear on stage.
Chilling!Track 13 on Disc 1 is just a small snippet of the song, like Bono
performed often during the Zoo TV Tour. The last track on the first disc is the
solo-version by The Edge. Track 7 on Disc 2 is the the crowd noise during the
two songs. I can recommend this boot to everyone. It easily beats POPDREAM
BELIEVER (the other Popmart boot I have) in both sound quality and performance.
Find it, buy it and you won't be disappointed.
[Steve]: This CD set is simply *fantastic*! It's one of the very few Popmart
bootlegs which has the full "Mission Impossible" and "Pop Muzik" intro. It's
great to hear the crowd's excitement building up to "Mofo". Bono makes a lot of
references to Santiago and Chile during the first few songs and mentions Amnesty
International before "Pride (In The Name Of Love)". He asks the people of
Santiago to light a candle for the mothers (of the disappeared) during "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". It's the first of some very emotional
highlights. "Bad" makes a very rare appearance in the Popmart setlist and it's a
very beautiful live performance indeed. "All I Want Is You" is very short and
linked to "Bad". Due to commercials on the television broadcast the first part
of "Staring At The Sun" isn't on the CD. Together with the fade-out at the end
of "Where The Streets Have No Name" it's the only minor flaw on this bootleg. A
wonderful version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is dedicated to Joan and Victor Jara
and sung solo by The Edge, as usual on this tour. "Discothèque" is indexed
together with "Lemon (Perfecto Mix)" and has snippets of "Take Your Partner By
The Hand" (by Howie B) and "Stayin' Alive". Between "With Or Without You" and
"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" images of an important soccer match Chili
won to qualify themselves for the World Cup are shown on the huge screen.
Listening to the last two songs will tear your heart out. Bono talks about
Chili's future and troubled past during "One", while Las Madras (the mothers of
the people who disappeared during Pinochet's reign) come onstage, holding up
pictures of their missing family members. The next song is dedicated to all the
missing people and Bono asks the mothers to come up to the microphone and tell
about what happened to their children. They do so while Edge starts playing
"Mothers Of The Disappeared". Bono then sings the lyrics and adds "El Pueblo
Vencera", which is eagerly picked up by the crowd. Then more mothers come
forward. After they're done Bono wishes the crowd goodnight, ending an amazing
concert. The sound quality is incredible, even for a broadcast. There's
absolutely nothing negative to say about it. I wish all bootlegs could be like
this one.

Really good show, sounds like some audience clapping has been cut between songs,
but not sure. The organization Mothers Of The Disappeared are at the show and
are on stage on the last track.
Overall great show, very emotional with the mothers being there ... Bono is
really into the cause and makes a great speech about the missing children. Due
to various complaints that reviews from Danyel Ramelo (AKA POPclerk) were not
impartial (since he manufactured them himself), all of the comments that he
submitted for his CD-R bootlegs have been removed. If you own this CD-R set

Comments:
This is a great show and under a great label (from what I've read of other
people's comments on other CD's put out by Thunderball -- I only own this one by
Thunderball). The concert itself is very good. The audiance is quite into the
show, but the audiance sounds DON'T take away at all from the music. The
recording is clear and sharp from the broadcast performance. The band is playing
extremely well. I would highly recomend this show over the Sarajevo show. Bono's
voice failed him and listening to that show is like riding in a car with only
three wheels. This show, Bono's voice is very strong and all four of them seem
to be very 'into it'. The set list is very good and they do some quite
interesting versions of some of the old songs, and give new life to the new
songs. I especially liked the versions of Sunday Bloody Sunday, Last Night On
Earth, Staring at the Sun (even if it's the condensed version), Bullet the Blue
Sky and Please. If you get only one show from the POPMART tour, get either this
one or a GOOD version of December 3rd, 1997 show in Mexico City.

Comments:
Although it is stated that the Sao Paulo concert was the best in South America,
this recording is much better (I own both). This was also an MTV broadcast. And,
it is a complete concert (unlike Sao Paulo). The version of "Bad" is Unlike most
recordings during the ZooTV tour, because this version is very close to the
original. "Discotheque" adds some verses from Talking Heads (I can't remember
the song title - "No HeeB GB's, no CB GB's...") and ends with a few lines from
the Bee Gees "Staying Alive." Finally, the packaging is fantastic (although the
case mislabels the last track as "Mothers Of Destruction"). It is said that this
concert had the best tracklisting of all the PopMart shows. I highly agree.

the smallest concert the band have performed on the Pop Mart tour - playing to
13,000-16,000 people in an indoor setting. Perth features the only Australian
performance of "Wake Up Dead Man." Bono inserts snippets of "Whole Lotta Love"
(Led Zeppelin) and "Black Betty" into "Discotheque" and lines of "Never Tear Us
Apart" (INXS) into "Bad" and "I Want To Live In America" into "Bullet The Blue
Sky." Additional comments and info needed on this bootleg.

Sound Quality:
Good to very good to audience.
Comments:
The instruments are very clear, meaning you can easily distinguish one from the
other (unlike some really "muddy" bootlegs out there) although there is a little
lack of midrange. The cymbals aren't exactly super crisp (I'm talking bootleg
standards here) but are very listenable. The vocals are ever-so-slightly a bit
low side but maybe that's how the acoustics of the stadium were that night. The
sound is a bit on the flat and artificial side as there seems to be a lack of
the audience and stadium atmosphere. Crowd noise seems to be like random
clapping instead of a real stadium audience thus making it "artificial."
Overall, this boot is among the upper echelon of PopMart audience boots and is
recommended. What sets this boot apart from the other audience PopMart bootlegs
is the PopMart version of "Bad," with snippets of "Never Tear Us Apart," "Walk
On The Wild Side" and "All I Want Is You." During "Discotheque," Bono sang
snippets of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive." This was the second Australian
PopMart show. This came from an audience DAT recording. The front cover is taken
from a mini-poster sold with the Australian 'Mofo' remix single CD. The back
cover has pictures of Bono, Adam, and the arch behind a tracklisting. The inside
covers feature scans of a newspaper review of the concert, a newspaper
advertisement for the show, a concert ticket and a "working personnel" ID pass.
Some audience noise is prominent between songs, but does not distract from the
music. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the acoustic version sung by The Edge.

Comments:
The main flaw here is the bass which is really muddy and low. Bass sound as no
clarity, so if you adjust the equalizer to increase the bass, you ill just get
random "booms" that are quite muddy and muffled. The gitar sound clarity here is
awesome. Impressive clarity in the intro to Where The Streets Have No Name" and
the acoustic set has near-'Popheart' larity. Drums are also excellent in detail,
with nice cymbal clarity. However, the sound quality of the boot is not
consistent as there seems to be some dropouts in the recording. The muddy bass
sound and the inconsistencies are the only "flaws" in this boot (I don't blame
the taper, it was raining that night). So, I'd pick Melbourne bootleg over this.
However, if you can find someone who can tape CD-Rs for you of some songs, you
can never go wrong with the acoustic set of this Sydney bootleg (Staring At The
Sun, Desire, and Sunday Bloody Sunday). It is simply awesome. The title says it
all. It rained. From an audience DAT. Additional comments and info needed on
this bootleg.

[Adrian Elmer]: It's nice to have a soundboard recording of the final night of
the PopMart Tour, after so many audience bootlegs from the tour. This concert is
perhaps not quite as emotional as I was expecting from a concert that is the
last of a 2 year tour, in a country that has meant so much to U2's politics in
the past, and in which they are playing for the first time, but is still a great
performance and memorable concert. The sound is clear well mixed and the
audience is not overpowering (as is the case with some Sao Paolo soundboard
recordings from PopMart). The set list is fairly standard for the PopMart Tour,
though does include 'All I Want Is You' and '"40"', two tracks added late in the
tour. The version of '"40"' features only electric guitar from Edge and vocal
from Bono. Overall, Bono in particular sounds tired, but uses the melancholia to
good effect at times. If you're after only one PopMart bootleg, this is probably
not the one, but it rates fairly highly. Gatefold packaging. Picture CDs. CD is
a limited pressing of 500.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
Unlike the vast majority of the bootlegs recorded from the television broadcasts
on the fourth leg of the Popmart Tour, this one has pretty bad sound quality.
There's a predominant hiss on every track and it's especially annoying during
the quieter parts. Also, the band sound rather tired and relieved that the tour
is finally coming an end. There's a weird edit in "Pop Muzik". The song fades
out and then fades in again during another part. "Gone" is dedicated to Michael
Hutchence. Bono shouts some stuff in a South African language (don't know which
one) during "Even Better Than The Real Thing". He sings about the last night of
Popmart and the new South Africa during "Last Night On Earth". "I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For" features a reflective Bono, who thanks the men and
women who took the tour around the world (the Popmart crew), Adam, The Edge,
Larry (for letting him be in their band) and Paul. He then talks about
Archbishop Tutu and president Mandela, two amazing personalities in the new
South Africa. "Stand By Me" is linked to the song. Unlike the track list on the
back, "All I Want Is You" is indexed together with "Stand By Me". The former has
snippets of "Never Us Apart" (by INXS). "Please" is introduced as "an Irish
prayer for peace" and dedicated to Liz, whoever that may be. Snippets of "We Are
Family" show up in "Discothèque". Bono says goodnight to everyone during "With
Or Without You" and calls out the technicians' names instead of the band
members' in "Mysterious Ways". He talks about the new South Africa again during
"One" and wishes everybody well for the future. A very peaceful "40" ends the
concert and tour. I don't know if "Mofo (Phunk Phorce Remix)" was actually
played through the PA after the concert, or whether it's the single track with
audience noise mixed in.
I only recommend this bootleg to people who went to this particular show and to
die-hard collectors. For the others: buy a bootleg of the Mexico City, Sao Paulo
or Santiago show instead. They offer much better sound quality and a more
spirited performance by the band. However, in the future this show will
hopefully pop up on another bootleg with better quality.

B) Similar Recordings (Related Sets Or Almost Exactly The Same, Cd-To-Cd):
These CDs are not sets, but are related in one way or another. Because of this,
I have grouped them together under a common, logical heading. An explanation of
each heading can be found just before the reviews themselves. This "grouping" of
CDs will make much more sense after you read each explanation. None of the
following reviews are that or "regular concert recordings". These are
collections of live, studio songs, b-sides, demos, remixes, etc.

These 10 CDs, all put out by an unknown manufacturer contain a lot of U2's
released (yet somewhat hard-to-find) singles, B-sides, and remixes. The quality
is very good throughout, with the first volume being primarily mastered from
vinyl, and the remaining 9 CDs being mastered primarily from the CD singles from
which they can be found commercially.

This CD contains the old singles and most B-sides up to 1987 (although the
"Where The Streets Have No Name" B-sides have been omitted). The A-sides which
appear on albums have also been omitted (even though some of these singles were
different from the album versions). A good CD for someone who can't get ahold of
the early singles. Deluxe color cover. Picture CD.

Comments:
Yet another ULTIMATE 7" & 12" COLLECTION, but this one is a bit different. It is
a CD-R that has been pressed before an actual "regular CD" like all of the other
ULTIMATE 7" & 12" COLLECTIONs. I guess the bootlegger got tired of waiting for
the manufacturer of the other ULTIMATE 7" & 12" COLLECTIONs to press some new
volumes, so he decided to press this one himself. This is a pretty good
collection. Sleeve and artwork are professionally-designed and printed. Picture
CD-R. No annoying 2-second gaps between songs. Additional comments and info
needed on this bootleg.

Very good to excellent. A little bit of a hiss on one or two songs, but overall
it is very enjoyable to listen to.
Comments:
Most of this stuff was released at sometime, but is no longer available without
paying large amounts of money. Nice to have it all on one CD.

Comments:
Of all the discs in this 4 set collection, these are probably the easiest songs
to find because they are the most recent, but to buy them all on their own would
cost a small fortune, as some of them are guest appearances on other CDs.
Because the quality is excellent, It is well worth having.

REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA (KIWI, MANGO, MELON, MORE MELON, ETC.)
These are ALL BOOTLEGS, no matter what you think or have heard. 'MELON REMIXES
FOR PROPAGANDA' was originally released by U2's official fanzine 'Propaganda'
back in 1994. Only subscribers of the magazine received this promotional CD,
which was packaged in a CARDBOARD SLIPCASE. Since then, MELON has been widely
bootlegged, and appears now in a traditional CD JEWLCASE. In other words, if you
bought Melon in a jewlcase, it is a BOOTLEG, not the original. Over the last few
years, bootleggers have capitalized on the MELON "craze" by putting together and
manufacturing bogus "...REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA" (i.e. KIWI, MANGO, MORE MELON,
ETC.). Don't be fooled by the slick packaging and clever technology used to
create the illusion of an "official" 'Propaganda' product. These CDs were, are,
and always will be BOOTLEGGED CDs. All are reported to have terrific sound.

This boot is similar to THE REMIXES (FOR DJ PROMO ONLY) and also any of the
various "REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA" CDs, which are all, indeed, BOOTLEGS. The front
cover features a picture of a yellow/green banana, and the back cover features a
fake "MELON-type" logo saying "BANANA - REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA". The back cover
is printed in "MELON-style". Deluxe color cover. Yellow banana picture CD.

Comments:
Unlike many of the fruits, which contain unofficial remixes and re-edits, Kiwi
is made up entirely of officially released remixes. This is nice as many of the
original CD singles are almost impossible to get a hold of now, and here many of
the best ones are found in one place. It does tend to jump around in style,
making it a collection of tracks rather than a cohesive album, though. The
'Hollywood Remix' of 'Hallelujah, Here She Comes' does sound remarkebly the same
as the original version from the 'Desire' single, and I am dubious as to whether
it is actually a remix at all. It is still a great track though. Nice packaging
with, yes, a Kiwi on the front. Like MANGO, this will probably only appeal to
those who are remix happy or haven't already picked up the singles where these
tracks first appeared.

Comments:
[Adrian Elmer]: A fairly good CD as far as the fruit bootlegs go. The tracks run
fairly smoothly, considering the different styles of 'remixing' applied to
tracks of the 80s compared to those of the 90s. Perhaps a simple swap between
tracks 9 and 10 ('Mysterious Ways' and 'When Love Comes To Town') would have
improved this even more. All of these tracks are either officially released
versions or very slight re-edits of official versions, so the quality of the
remixing is high.Track 1 ('Lemon - Oakenfold Jeep Mix') is only otherwise
available on the incredibly rare Australian release of the Lemon single. Track 2
has been mistitled 'Mysterious Ways - Ultimate Mix', it should read 'Mysterious
Ways - Ultimatum Mix', another Australian only release which was available for a
brief time on a bonus disc that came with the regular 'Mysterious Ways' CD
single, and is also now very difficult to find a legitimate copy of. The two
other remixes of 'Lemon' ('Version Dub' and 'Momo's Reprise') can only be found
legitimately on vinyl, the 12" version of the 'Lemon' single (the 'Oakenfold
Jeep Mix is also available on this 12"). 'Momo's Reprise' has the faintest of
vinyl crackles, whilst 'Version Dub' could pass as having a CD source (is there
an official CD source that I am unaware of?). Both 'God Part II' and 'When Love
Comes To Town' are different to the versions found on the 'When Love Comes To
Town' CD and 12" single. 'God Part II' contains an extra 2 minutes not found on
that single, whilst 'When Love Comes To Town' has an extra 20 seconds. These
additions appear to be more edits - 'When Love Comes To Town' has some extra
sampled speech in the middle section, whilst 'God Part II' merely seems to be
longer, without being drastically different to the official releases. Of all the
tracks on this compilation, only 'Mysterious Ways (Ultimatum Mix)' is currently
available on other fruit bootlegs. The rest are unique to this collection.

It had to happen. Here it is, the world's first bootlegged 'Melon'. The
packaging is simply a color photocopy of the official release, with publishing
data conveniently obscured. I haven't actually heard this CD; for all I know, it
could contain just about anything, but if it looks like a duck... I'm sure this
is but the first of numerous bootlegs of U2's generous Christmas gift to follow.
Incidentally, if you ever see 'Melon' advertised by CD distributors, chances are
it's a bootleg, and not the real thing. The original (official) 'Melon' CD came
in a cardboard slipcase, not a standard jewel case, as is the case with this
bootlegged 'Melon'.
[Adrian Elmer]: This is the original 'Fruitleg' and the best. As it was
originally put together by the band, some thought has been put into the track
listing and order, rather than just throwing together a random collection of
remixes. And the band was very generous in their track selection as well. Of the
nine tracks, only four are available on regular CD singles (and one of these,
'Numb (The Souls Assassins Mix)',only became available on the 'Last Night On
Earth' CD single, released three years after 'Melon'). 'Lemon (The Perfecto
Mix)' can be found on the 'Stay (Faraway, So Close) - Swing Format' CD single
and 'Salome (Zooromancer Remix)' can be found on the 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild
Horses' remix CD single. 'Numb (Gimme Some More Dignity Mix)' can be found on a
compilation CD called 'Special Brew', but the version here features an extra few
seconds of sound right at the beginning. The track is a slow, funky workout that
is very impressive. 'Mysterious Way (The Perfecto Mix)' can only be found on the
Australian only promo release which was available for a brief time on a bonus
disc that came with the regular 'Mysterious Ways' CD single, and is now very
difficult to find a legitimate copy of. 'Stay (Underdog Mix)' is unique to this
compilation and lightens the mood of the original without taking from its
impact. 'Mysterious Ways (Remixed by Massive Attack) is also unique to this
compilation and is very beautiful, combining the best attributes of both groups.
'Even Better Than The Real Thing (The Perfecto Mix)' is found on the 'Even
Better Than The Real Thing' remix CD single, whilst 'Lemon (Bad Yard Club Mix)'
is only otherwise available on the 12" vinyl single of 'Lemon' but here is found
in perfect CD quality as it has been mastered from the original tapes. The album
flows together very smoothly, with the bulk of the tracks in the middle of the
CD having a steady groove, as opposed to the pounding techno of many remixes
(there are some of those featured here as well). A highly recommended
collection.
This is one of four of the original pressings on this label.

Comments:
This is a fair collection of remixes. The opening track is just awesome, with
Bono's voice sounding amazing, almost acapella in parts. This mix uses the same
basic vocals track as the version found on the 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild
Horses' remix CD single, but the music is quite different. This track is
mastered from a vinyl source, though the slight pops and crackles are only
noticeable in the quietest sections and do not detract from the overall sound,
which is great. 'Numb (Perfecto Remix Edit)' is also great, but is unfortunately
quite short. The track is taken from a promo CD for 'Numb', and apparently goes
for longer on that promo (though I have not heard it to confirm this). 'God Part
II (Hard Metal Dance - Extended Mix)' is approximately 2 minutes longer than the
version on the 'When Love Comes To Town' CD and 12" single, though is built
around the same basic tracks, and does not sound noticeably different. It is
mastered from here, though the very slight pops and crackles do not detract from
the sound quality. 'Mysterious Way (The Perfecto Mix)' can only be found on the
Australian only promo release which was available for a brief time on a bonus
disc that came with the regular 'Mysterious Ways' CD single, and is now very
difficult to find a legitimate copy of. Tracks 5-9 could be more adequately
described as re-edits rather than true remixes. 'Night And Day' combines
sections of the original mix with pieces from the 'Steel String Remix' version,
without actually taking the song to any new places. 'Salome' is just the
original 'Zooromancer Remix' from the 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses' remix
CD single, but cut up and pasted back together in different ways, often quite
noticeably, and kills a lot of the dynamics of the gradual build that makes the
original version so great. The ending sounds quite good though, with the sound
of the vinyl being stopped mid song. 'Lemon' is just a beatmixed pastiche of the
'Perfecto Mix' and the 'Trance Mix', both from the 'Lemon' 12" single, with very
noticeable changeovers which kind of flattens the whole thing. 'Even Better Than
The Real Thing' suffers the same kinds of problems, whilst 'Until The End Of The
World' doesn't even sound like a dance song, it is a re-edit of the album
version which does nothing to improve the original. Most of these edits can also
be found on a number of the other 'Fruitlegs'. The sound quality of all the
tracks is high, and it's a good collection if you don't have many other fruit
bootlegs which already contain these tracks.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Osborne. Tracks 5 and 10 are remixed by "The Ultra Hot Razor Crew". Track 7 is
remixed by "911". Track 9 is remixed by Paul Barrett. Track 11 is remixed by
Youth. Track 12 is remixed by David Morales. This boot is similar to THE REMIXES
(FOR DJ PROMO ONLY) and also any of the various "REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA" CDs,
which are all, indeed, BOOTLEGS. While there is some overlap among the discs,
overall the series is a decent collection if you like to dance to U2. Most of
these tracks are not really official remixes and some, I highly doubt, exist.
This compilation is not too bad. There are some keepers (Tracks 1 and 8, among
others) but there are some real bombs on here too. Track 2 is a decent remix,
but the sound quality is inconsistent with the rest of the disc; it appears to
have been copied off an LP. Some of the tracks are edits, thus only giving you
some of the song. Finally, the most embarrassing moment of this bootleg is Track
7. The purpose of a remix is to offer a different interpretation of a song. This
mix is not only not a mix, but it makes the song unlistenable by taking parts of
Edge's guitar licks from the front end of the song and repeating them over and
over and over, and then moving on and repeating. 911, whover you are, you should
not be allowed to "remix" a song as good as "Zooropa" and get away with it! This
compilation is not perfect, but it makes a good addition to the superfan's
collection. The front cover features a picture of a yellow / green banana, and
the back cover features a fake "MELON-type" logo saying "ORANGE - REMIXES FOR
PROPAGANDA". The back cover is printed in "MELON-style". ". Deluxe color cover.

but the two last songs are live. This CD is great. If you like a kind of funky,
disco-like "Discotheque," or an unusual "Numb," you should buy this. I don't
care that much for remixes, but the mix of "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" is really
great! These remixers are professionals. The "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" version
on this CD is better than the version from 'Zooropa.' The CD is in a special
digipack, with a front cover picture of the four U2 members in a hair salon. It
is a fancy cover, with pictures from the 'Pop' album booklet. Not much else to
say about this CD.

Comments:
In my opinion, this CD is a real treasure for all the U2 fans who can't afford
buying expensive promo remixes, because all of these remixes are available on
promotional records and CDs except the "DMC Megamix" and "The Unforgettable Fire
Propyro Mix" which have nothing to do with U2, I think. But it's not an official
release, it's a bootleg! I encourage this record company to do other CDs like
this one, it's really more interesting than THE ULTIMATE 7" & 12" COLLECTIONs!
As for the the originality of the songs, I think only Tracks 1, 2, 3 and maybe 5
(which is a combination of the Perfecto Mix and the Sexy Dub mix) are in their
official remixed form on this bootleg. "The DMC Megamix" (last track) is also an
official remix, done by the DMC (Disco Mix Club) label. You have to like those
80's remixes in which the songs sequence into each other in order to appreciate
this track, though. But since the other songs are edited by the mysterious
"NARF" and are very different than the times of official remixes, I think the
bootleggers have made the remixes themselves just to fill up the disk. I got
mine for not too much money and was thus worth it, but if you are only looking
for U2 originals, aviod this disc.

This is not a U2 bootleg disc. This is basically a "pseudo-official" CD of
remixes done by DJ's. All songs were remixed by Steve Smith and/or John Pillin.
"Until The End Of The World" is basically a long, remixed version of the
soundtrack mix from the 'Until The End Of The World' movie soundtrack, which
loops around and around. Pretty cool. The CD also contains cool remixes
(unavailable anywhere else) by artists such as Peter Gabriel, Tears For Fears,
Jesus Jones, Erasure, Thompson Twins, Prefab Sprout, Romeo Void, Electroset,
Tone Def, and The Cure.

Comments:
A collection of mixes, some of which are readily available elsewhere and some of
which are hard to find. Track 3 is listed as being taken from the "rare Promo
only White Label". This mix is indistinguishable from the 'Zooropa' album
version, however. Track 8 is a 12 minute mix which "joins all the classics
together". This track combines "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Pride (In The Name Of
Love)", "New Year's Day", "Two Hearts Beat As One", and "Gloria". Track 4 is an
extended mix of the 'Achtung Baby' album version which varies too little to
justify its 10 minute length. Overall, this collection offers little in the way
of anything new, and is probably only desirable for the U2 fan who wants
everything. Not to be confused with any other ULTRA REARE TRAX ENTRIES.
This is the original pressing on this label.

ACOUSTIC-TYPE BOOTLEGS
These are collections of songs which are primarily "acoustic" in nature.
ACOUSTIC TV and ZOOCOUSTIC (both pressings) are basically the same exact CD,
with the exception of one or two songs (see tracklistings). JESUS WAS A COOL GUY
reports to be the follow-up to ZOOCOUSTIC. The songs on these collections range
from soundboard to terrible audience, but the songs themselves are songs which
U2 use as "filler" for their sets, and that in itself makes these recordings
somewhat "rarely heard". Admittedly, these collections are pretty interesting.

Comments :
An interesting collection of acoustic performances from various locations
throughout the ZOO TV and Zooropa Tours. Track 2 performed with half of ABBA.
Track 8 is with Daniel Lanois. Track 14 is performed with Axl Rose, although
it's a bad recording of an even worse performance.

Sound Quality:
Varies from not-so-good audience to good soundboard.
Comments:
The pictures range from the 'The Joshua Tree' to the 'Zooropa' era. This disc
claims to be "the follow up of the widely acclaimed Vol. 1: U2 ZOOCOUSTIC (OCTO
148)". Oxygen rates the sound as 3 stars (out of 4). It claims to be all
soundboard (see above). The quality isn't as good as DUETS but still better than
ZOOCOUSTIC. I'll have to listen to these discs more closely if you want comments
on the sound. A good collection of tracks from over the years. Most of these
tracks can be found on many different boots, but this is a good disc to own for
all you completists out there, or if you are looking for some rare performances
of some terrific tracks! 73 minutes of music is quite a lot for the money, a
good choice. The CD is made in Czech republic. This has also been sold as a 2CD
version with an untitled CD as Disc 2. The untitled CD is actually DUETS. Seem
as if Oxygen might be trying to dump off some extra copies of it. This bootleg
covers shows from Rotterdam to Los Angeles to Hamburg to Australia and almost
everywhere in between, this CD is only of average quality because of the lack of
bass and over-enthusiastic treble on most of the tracks. It is listed as a
soundboard recording but, as one would expect, about 70% of it is from audience
recordings. There is a bunch of audience screaming and "hooting" on a lot of the
tracks on this CD. On some tracks, Edge's guitar is too loud and at times, and
irritatingly screeches. I guess this comes from the bootlegger standing too
close to the speakers. One of two tracks that does make this a good buy (if you
find it cheap) is the first track - "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)." Recorded in
Leeds on August 14, 1993, it is of excellent quality and I prefer it to the
original version on 'Zooropa.' The second interesting tracks is a very good
acoustic version of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." The CD sleeve also
offers some good pictures of the band from the ZooTV Tour. Oxygen gives it 3/4
for quality but I beg to differ. I give it only 1.75/4. For being 73 (albeit
poorly recorded) minutes of U2, it still make an interesting item for collectors
and those who want to learn a couple of old Irish songs as sung by Larry and
Bono.

Comments:
This is one of several compilation CDs to come out in the past few years. It is
a decent collection of acoustic songs. The Dalton Brothers songs from LA, 1987
are quite good (and funny!) The guys talk in a country drawl and say that they
play 2 kinds of music:country AND western ... The demo version of 'First Time'
is quite rare and a nice addition. And the last track is quite interesting; in
the middle of Love is Blindness, Bono starts reciting "All Along the
Watchtower". The sound quality is about 1/2 soundboard and the others are very
good to excellent audience recordings. I can't think of a single track that is
very bad recording.

Comments:
A (mostly) acoustic collection, but with some outstanding tracks that aren't
easy to find. Personally, "Dancing Queen", "Springhill Mining Disaster",
"Lucille", and "Lost Highway" are the highlights. Track 8 is listed as "Whiskey
In The Jar". I'd strongly recommend picking this up, should you happen upon it.
Even if you don't like it, it is strong trading material.

Comments:
THE ULTIMATE ACOUSTIC COLLECTION has a variable cornucopia of great U2 songs and
snippets from around the world. "Dirty Old Town", "Whiskey In The Jar", and
"Wild Irish Rover" are sung by the "the man who gave us all our first job",
according to Bono, "Larry Mullen, Jr." "Springhill Mining Disaster" was recorded
on Irish TV, the Late Late Show, and is understandably of excellent sound
quality. Track 12 features the famous recording of "One" with Michael Stipe at
the MTV Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC "Wild Rover" is listed as "Irish
Rover", which is another song. I see this CD as a collector's item, but due to
the sometimes poor quality, not much more than that. There are some tracks with
fairly good quality too. I haven't seen the ultimate U2 all-acoustic disc yet.
In fact, I haven't seen any all-acoustic U2 discs yet. As with all the rest of
the acoustic compilations, this one stretches the definition of "acoustic."

Comments:
This bootleg contains some rare tracks but the overall sound quality leaves a
lot to be desired and it's a shame that this wasn't improved upon. The version
of the Dylan song Chime's of Freedom is fantastic and the only things letting
down Whiskey in the jar is the sound quality and this is the same case with
Gloria, I have never seen these songs on any other bootlegs before (and would
apreciate any more information concerning these three) It is more than possible
than Chimes Of Freedom was recorded for the Conspirecy of Hope tour. The covers
for this CD-R are done with an Ink jet colour printer as is the label for the
CD. I would also add that this CD-R will not play properly through my cd player
and has a continual clicking noise I have managed to get around this by playing
it through my CD ROM drive which plays it no problem ? This CD is deffinatly a
case of try before you buy as regards the quality and whether the thing plays
properly at all.

"A very wise old man told us that the money was to be found in country western
music. So we are going to leave the rock and roll industry and become a country
western band called 'The Dalton Brothers.'" Track 19 is from the 'Rattle And
Hum' film premiere in Dublin. Some of the venues might not be correct.

Also, there is not enough bass on some of the songs.
Comments:
Track 5 is with Michael Stipe (of R.E.M.) on lead vocals. Track 6 is with Bjoern
and Benny (of ABBA). Track 10 is with Daniel Lanois. Track 16 is with Axl Rose.
Almost the same as ACOUSTIC TV. It is an interesting collection of acoustic
performances, BUT the sound quality is too bad, so it is a waste of money. There
are also many tracks from the August 28, 1993 Dublin show, you can find on KTS
Records' ZOO EUROPA, etc. Many of the recordings on this disc can be found on
Teddy Bear Records' ACOUSTIC TV.

Comments:
Color cover. This bootleg is a collection of recordings from other CDs and LPs.
The sources of the song were poorly printed and are very hard to read (light red
on red print). The cover features a picture of Bono sitting in a chair with a
guitar in his hands. On the back is a picture of Bono in his Mac Phisto look.
The CD is a black picture CD, featuring Bono coming out of the dark and the word
'SOLO' in big orange print. Inside are many pictures of Bono from past to
present. "Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad" has a live intro in what can be
termed as "Vegas-style" with Bono stating, "Hello Los Angelos..." The version of
"One" is very cool, with Bono singing with Michael Stipe of R.E.M.. "Give Me
Back My Job" is from Carl Perkins' 'Go Cat Go' and features Carl Perkins, Johnny
Cash, Willie Nelson, and Tom Petty. Overall, a nice CD.

Comments:
Tracks 1 and 9 also feature Robbie Robertson). Tracks 2and 10 and feature many
other artists. Track 3 features Willie Nelson. Tracks 4 and 5 feature Luciano
Pavorotti and Brian Eno. Track 8 features Sinead O'Connor. Track 11 features
T-Bone Burnett. Most of the other tracks feature the entire band also. This is a
nice collection of tracks by one or more members of U2. I don't know why this
compilation is called BONO THE COMPLETE SOLO PROJECTS VOLUME TWO. In my opinion,
a better title for this CD would have been: U2 - DUETS II. The entire band is
involved on all but three tracks of this CD. Most tracks are easy to find on
official CDs but it's nice to have them all together so you don't have to buy an
entire album for only one or two U2-related tracks. This is still an
excellent-sounding collection of U2 (and-U2 related) tracks for the people who
do not yet own all of these tracks. It's a nice CD with some music that you will
only find on tribute albums or compilations. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
have a barcode or manufacturer. There are some slight errors on the
tracklisting, but the above should be correct.
This is the original pressing on this label.
EARLY U2 DEMOS
These CDs offer the chance to hear U2 before their first album, 'Boy', was ever
released. Some of these songs were never officially released, but most made
their way onto 'Boy'. All of these CDs are mastered from vinyl, thus some "pops"
and "ticks" can be heard. All things considered, these CDs are quite
interesting, even if the sound is "less than par". Most of these tracks were on
U2's original CBS demo tape, which landed them their first recording contract.
Interesting, but the CDs vary in content.

Comments:
This is a great collection of early studio recordings. Some of these recordings
are from the actual studio source tapes for their early releases, in particular
Tracks 1 and 2 are from the "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" single, Tracks 5-7 are from
the "U2-3" EP, Tracks 3 and 10 are from the "Another Day" single. The 'War'
demos are not radically different from their final versions, but the sound
quality is excellent (I've been looking for these on CD for ages - this is the
only pressing of them I've ever found.). Track 18 is live, not a demo.

All tracks on the album sound great, except Disc 2, Tracks 4-6 reveal some
recording flaws when listened to with headphones. For best effect, listen to the
album on speakers. The demos are especially satisfactory (note, though, early
demos are usually of lower quality than most other portions of a bootleg).
Comments:
If you are looking to add a Zooropa bootleg to your collection, this is it. The
company is very generous, as exemplified by the amount of music available on
these 2 CDs. The Zooropa concert is smooth. If you want to hear Bono's act and
him talking, then you will be disappointed. I you just want to hear continuous
stream of U2's more recent songs, you will definitely be pleased. The demo songs
are great too, especially if you like the 'Boy' songs. Tracks 12 and 15 are
mislabeled "No Man's Land" and "City At Night". The origin of Disc 2, Track 7 is
not clear. Some claim that it is the unreleased Track U2 recorded at a Long
Island studio in mid-late November, 1981.
This is the original pressing on this label.
PIRATED "BEST OF" COLLECTIONS
What could be said about these? How about "DO NOT BUY THESE"? These CDs offer
nothing more than the exact same versions of U2's songs direct from the official
CDs. These are 100% ILLEGAL. These CDs are produced in eastern Europe and Asia
primarily. These have no real place in this guide, but we decided to include
them to discourage everyone from buying them. Please save your money, and do not
rip off the band by purchasing these. You have been warned.

Comments:
This is nothing more than a pitiful attempt at a "Best Of U2" CD. This CD, and
CDs like THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, are a blatant attempt to rip off the band.
There is nothing new, live, rare, or unreleased here. Every single song on this
CD is taken directly from the albums which are available everywhere. I would
STRONGLY discourage anyone and everyone from purchasing this type of bootleg. If
you want a real "Best Of U2" collection, buy all of U2's CDs and make yourself a
"mix" tape, don't buy shit like this. Be on the lookout for this type of bootleg
CD, and don't waste your money. This review is here for informational purposes
only.

Comments:
All tracks were taken from official releases. This is not bootleg CD, it is a
pirated CD. Beware of it! The cover has a four-sided inlet, and the cover
picture is a color group shot from 1987. The red "The Best Of U2" inlet shows
all of the covers of the official U2 releases. It has a colored back sleeve with
white background. The CD itself is is a silver with black and red printing and
Japanese lettering. It is listed as made in Japan 1995, but seems to be a
European CD, printed in 1996.

Comments:
Do not buy this CD. I found this disappointing work at a local shop and expected
to have a pretty good boot, but as fate would have it, it isn't U2 at all. I
have no idea who it is singing, but it definitely is a cover band. They drop all
pretension when it comes to Track 4 and bring in a female vocalist to do the
Berlin cover. Some of the music almost sounds as if it is produced with a MIDI
program rather then the actual instruments. The cover is black with a photo from
the Joshua Tree on the front, and a Live Aid picture of U2 on the back. No need
to get this one unless you like curiosities.

Comments:
This CD is nothing more than a collection of earlier officially-released
material. The only special thing is that it's sound is excellent and very
dynamic, even the older tracks. The CD comes in a jewel case and the front cover
features a picture of a back street in a oriental country with Bono in front of
it. Nothing is printed inside the sleeve. The CD itself is yellow with two big
"U2" letters printed in black. Under the letters "U2" are the words "Greatest
Hits '97." For the sound quality it's a good CD, but for the material here you'd
better buy another one than this pirated CD.

Comments:
This is a melting pot of very different studio materials, including an
interesting accoustic version of "Everlasting Love", as well as a minimalist and
beautiful "Satellite Of Love" cover. The Hollywood remix of "Desire" is at least
as good as on the Rattle & Hum album. Less guitar, more drums, and Gospel-like
background vocals. Sound is perfect (Studio), with very different mixing
qualities, due to various origins of the material, but always top quality CD.

the same exact thing. They are both highly recommended.

October 14, 1992. Houston, TX. Houston Astrodome. (Most likely.) This is a
bootlegged copy of the Island Records promo CD ZOO RADIO TRANSMIT.
Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard. Comparable to ZOO EUROPA or any commercial CD.
Comments:
This is a terrific disc, combining live versions of songs performed on the ZOO
TV Tour with various soundbytes, chatter, skits, and interviews with the band.
Sort of the audio equivalent of the ACHTUNG BABY video cassette. I've only seen
this for sale once (the time I bought it!), so don't pass it up if it happens to
cross your path. OUTSIDE BRODCAST and ZOO RADIO LIVE IN THE USA were assumed to
be bootlegged copies of the Island Records radio promo "Zoo Radio Transmit".
This is not exactly true. The official 'Zoo Radio Transmit' contains only one
(true) live song, a BRILLIANT version of "Slow Dancing". There is also a very
rough version of "Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad", which was recorded on an
airplane. I happen to know that there were actually two versions of 'Zoo Radio
Transmit' produced. The first one was scrapped after the band decided that they
weren't happy with it. The person who produced it, Bill [last name withheld],
gave a copy of the scrapped version to a person who worked for the BBC. Then
this BBC person got ahold of some live tracks and booted it. I know this because
I used to work with Bill [last name withheld] and he told me the story. OUTSIDE
BROADCAST and ZOO RADIO LIVE IN THE USA contain the same "filler", but have
different tracklistings, as far as songs go. A true collectors item. Hope this
helps!

The original, but unreleased version of the Island Records promo CD called 'Zoo
Radio Transmit'. The exact locations of the live tracks is unknown.
Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard / studio.
Comments:
This is almost exactly the same as Nikko Records' OUTSIDE BROADCAST. Most tracks
are live, but unlike the OUTSIDE BROADCAST disc, this CD adds the two studio
tracks. Also, like OUTSIDE BROADCAST, it contains many sound bites and
interviews with the band as well as interviews with The Disposable Heroes of
Hiphopcricy and Public Enemy. A great CD, better than OUTSIDE BROADCAST, in my
opinion. OUTSIDE BRODCAST and ZOO RADIO LIVE IN THE USA were assumed to be

is not exactly true. The official 'Zoo Radio Transmit' contains only one (true)
live song, a BRILLIANT version of "Slow Dancing". There is also a very rough

Comments:
Track 1 could be a raw form of the US Mix of this song. The guitar is very
heavily distorted. Some keyboard and percussion is included. Track 2 features a
totally different keyboard part by Wally Badarou, which sounds strange but
interesting. Tracks 3 and 4 are from U2's debut on the long running TV rock
show. Tracks 5, 6, 8 are GREAT! I have never heard these songs in such an
amazing stereo quality. The quality of Track 7 is slightly worse than tracks 5,
6, 8. It includes the English words instead of the "mystic" German part. Track
10 is the ONLY time this song has EVER been played live. Track 11 seems to be
live, though no crowd noise can be heard, but Bono announces the song somehow.
Track 12 is a horrible country song, but a nice unplugged performance of it. On
tracks 13-18, the guitar sounds HORRIBLE! It is a nice performance otherwise.
"Exit" is without the "G-L-O-R-I-A" part from the version on the movie 'Rattle
And Hum'. They totally fuck up on 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)'. All I have to
say about tracks 19 and 20 is. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???". The cover says, "L.
Mullen solo. Aussie Radio, November 14th, 1989." This is really a weird thing!
Does anyone know something about these? "Twist And Shout" sounds exactly like
the Beatles' version, only very fast. Is Larry only drumming? Is he also
singing? I don't know. Tracks 21 and 22 are from the 'Rattle And Hum' outtakes
videos. These are raw versions with a Hammond organ and female background choir.
"Can't Help Falling In Love" is performed by Bono WITHOUT his falsetto voice.
Hope that helped! Nice collection. The cover features an early shot of the band
imposed on black and white brick path with purple lettering. Bootleggers have
been compiling U2 stuff of late with B-sides, duets, covers, dance mixes and a
whole series of MELON remixes. FOUR WILD IRISH ROSES concentrates on broadcast,
studio recordings and live rarities. The main attraction here are the four
unreleased pre-Boy songs from 1978. They all carry with them the influences of
the period, a hard rock beat, chunky guitar solos and a macho Bono voxing away.
U2 had still to learn how to dramatize with punctuated guitars and quiet
elegance. "The Dream Is Over," with The Edge indulging in an echoey style is
worthy of release on a future box set. The '81 broadcast sessions, with Kid
Jensen and the Old Grey Whistle Test might bore you with their faithful copy of
"11 O'Clock Tick Tock" and "The Ocean." The alternate take of ""October" has a
beautiful Wally Bararou keyboard sequence. Two Larry Mullen radio sessions
covering "Twist And Shout" and "It's All Over Now," from Australian radio 1989,
sound like karaoke to me. Awful. The Belfast concert has one highlight in a
version of Neil Young's "Southern Man," all earthy and raw with great guitar
from The Edge. Otherwise the show is pretty tame with U2 sticking close to the
three-minute-limit song. The 1987 Sun Studio sessions, "Trip Through Your Wires
/ She's A Mystery To Me" and "Can't Help Falling In Love," have seen better
days, in the sound department, elsewhere. FOUR WILD IRISH ROSES PART 1 had four
takes of "Two Hearts Beat As One" while FOUR WILD IRISH ROSES PART 2 opens with
yet another take. Those with a brave heart should pick up the TWO HEARTS BEAT AS
ONE bootleg for the complete 13 takes in excellent sound quality. But otherwise,
like this compilation, the music hardly moves you.
This is the original pressing on this label.
U2 COVERING OTHER ARTISTS' SONGS
These CDs are basically the same, disc-to-disc, yet they do vary slightly in
their tracklistings. These CDs offer the chance to hear U2 performing some songs
by other artists, songs which are sometimes used as "filler" for U2's sets. Some
of these songs are rarely played. The songs range from soundboard to terrible
audience. Interesting collections, yes, but "must haves"? That remains to be
seen. Check them out for yourselves.

Comments:
This is exactly the same as COVERING 'EM, except for the title. My girlfriend
bought it for me in Italy, so I imagine it's simply a European issue that hasn't
ever made it to the States. There's nothing special about this that would make
someone want it more than COVERING 'EM. The packaging is okay, but nothing
flashy; two of the photos are taken straight off the 'Achtung Baby' cover. There
are some errors in the track listing: Pete, Seeger is listed as the writer of
"Disaster"; ABBA is listed as having written "Unchained Melody"; "She's A
Mystery To Me" is listed as "Mystery Girl"; and "Slow Dancing" and "She's A
Mystery To Me" are listed as written by Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison,
respectively (these songs were written FOR them, not BY them. "One" is the
Automatic Baby version with Mike Mills and Michael Stipe (on vocals).

Comments:
The left two-thirds of the cover has a picture of Bono in his Fly gear singing
(with a Trabant behind him) and Adam in the background. The right third is white
with the title. The back has the track listing and a picture of The Edge with
his ski roll cap on playing guitar. The inside has recording locations (some are
incorrect), and another track listing. Nice, but hard to listen to all the way
through, because just about every song is from a different venue. However, I
(and many people I have talked to) buy bootlegs of U2 (and others) to get odd
and off-the-wall recordings of songs not played at every concert. If you are one
of these persons, buy this record immediately.

Sound Quality:

Comments :
Tracks 1-4 are from a television special tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis. American
disc jockey Dick Clark does introductions. Jerry Lee Lewis (piano and vocals),
Keith Richards (piano and vocals), Mick Fleetwood (drums), and Gary Busey
(vocals.) Keith sings along with Jerry on 1, 2, and 4. Gary Busey sings #3. Dick
Clark asks Keith if it is ok if they do a Hank Williams tune and Keith answers,
"I can get behind that." Tracks 5-7 are from Richards' film tribute to Chuck
Berry as best as I can determine although the tracks sound like they were taken
from a well used video tape. Tracks 8-9 are from the television show Saturday
Night Live. Tracks 10 and 11 are with U2 and can be found on other U2 boots such
as Duets. Tracks 12-16 include Bob Dylan, Dave Edmunds, Jack Bruce, Phil
Manzanera, Robert Cray, and Keith Richards. This is a great compilation if you
are a Keith Richards fan. The Jerry Lee Lewis session can also be found on Beau
De Cologne; but the sound quality here is better. Four of the five Sevilla
tracks are on another Richards bootleg One More Offence. But you get all five
here. The cd is obviously not a must for U2 collectors.

This is a great CD. One of my favorite boots. The sound is great and the track
listing is very likable. This was made by the same company that made ZOOCOUSTIC.
In fact, there is an ad for it along with some other CD's from various groups in
the liner notes. The artwork is nice, except that on the inside sleeve Peter
Buck and Mike Mills are mislabeled as each other (Whoops!). Bought this one in
Utah and I haven't seen it since. I have been trying to get another copy of it
but no one can order it for me. This is not a U2 bootleg, but rather an R.E.M.
bootleg. Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Appear on Track 15, along with
Michael Stipe on lead vocals, along with Peter Buck on acoustic guitar and Mike
Mills on acoustic guitar and backing vocals. It is the infamous "Automatic Baby"
performance of "One".

this is an exceptional track. Bono is an incredible singer but Stipe takes this
track into the stratosphere bringing the entire crowd and (perhaps the
President) singing along with him. I believe Bono himself was quoted as saying
it was flattering to have the song interpreted by "a real soul singer like
Stipe". In addition, Mills sings an entire new background vibe that is
breathtaking and too hard to explain - buy it and listen. Sound is fair to good
and if available is well worth any price just to hear Stipe sing "One".

Source:
The original Negativland CD-Single, 'U2' from SST Records. This is a pirated
copy.
Sound Quality:
Excellent studio.
Comments:
This is not a U2 bootleg. It is a pirated copy of a 'Negativland' CD. This is a
bootleg copy (I believe) of the original CD single. The group is called
Negativland and the title of the CD single is U2. The featured song is "I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", but it's mainly Negativland doing parodies
of the U2 song. The original CD single was yanked from store shelves shortly
after its release, mainly because the package made it appear that it was a new
U2 CD single with a song called "Negativland". The cover shows a U2 spy plane
flying across a very large "U2" that takes up almost the entire cover. Under the
"U2" is the bands name, hence making the CD look like a U2 CD called
'Negativland'. The first track has direct samples of the U2 song, and after you
hear Bono sing a line, one of the members of Negativland repeats the line in a
very over exaggerated voice. At the same time, he pokes fun at the lyric. This
mix is not all that interesting. The second, and last, track is the famous one.
This "Special Edit Radio Mix" features the famous Casey Kasem of "America's Top
Ten" (the 80's countdown show) fame. In this mix, Negativland has added a tape
that they discovered where Casey is "going off" uncensored about having to read
a story about a person's dog dying after an "up-beat" song. That up-beat song
is, you guessed it, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

Every U2 fan should at least have a tape of this recording, just to see what all
the fuss was about! Hearing Casey Kasem blow his stack cracks me up every time!
The printing on my CD artwork is a bit too blurry, which makes me think I may
have a boot. Unfortunately being effectively a counterfeit CD, rather than a
boot, all of the catalog info on the CD and artwork is a replica of the real
thing.

TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE DEMOS
Essentially, these two discs are the same exact thing: 13 different demos and
takes of the song 'Two Hearts Beat As One'. That's it. The exception is that in
TWO HEARTS AND OTHER STRANGE THINGS adds approx. 20-30 extra minutes of Bono and
the Edge practicing some songs at a Long Island beach house, back in 1987. This
is the only difference between the two CDs.

Sound Quality:
Excellent studio.
Comments:
The quality here is consistent with that of the bootleg TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE.
While the sound quality of these recordings is excellent, the thirteen different
versions of "Two Hearts Beat As One" vary so slightly as to be almost
negligible. All are almost identical in length, with occasional differences in
the effects used on each instrument (including Bono's voice). Where the titles
come from is unclear. Track 14 is from a Long Island recording session that
Bono, The Edge, and Jimmy Iovine had during the 'Rattle And Hum' recording
period. It is also available on the CD ENJOY. It is also available on the
'Rattle And Hum' outtakes videotapes.

doesn't make up for the poor musical content!

INTERVIEW CDS
Exactly what the title says: interviews. There is no music on CDs such as these,
and most of these can be bought through regular channels, as most (but not all)
of them appear to be legal. Some of these are rather interesting to listen to
every once in a while, but know what you are getting yourself into before you
buy CDs like these.

Comments:
This is an abbreviated version of the first interview on the LIMITED EDITION
INTERVIEW DISC with a slightly grainier sound quality. The most notable aspect
of this CD is the hologram on it. It appears to depict someone's idea of a

Comments:
This is not a bootleg. It is a "legitimate" interview CD, featuring U2. There is
no music on this CD at all. Whoever taped this must have put a recorder in their
hotel room. More than just Bono talking, it sounds like Larry, Adam, and maybe
others. Must have taken place sometime after 'The Unforgettable Fire', since
some tracks are discussed. The group discusses topics such as group background,
public image, weaknesses of Bono (by himself), etc. The discussion varies from
deep discussion to the ordering of room service. Since it was most likely
recorded on a generic hand-held tape recorder, the audio from those further away
is lower, and harder to hear at times.

Sound Quality:
Good private interview. Background noise makes it sound as if this was recorded
in a restaurant or diner.
Comments:
This is not a bootleg. It is a "legitimate" interview CD, featuring U2. There is
no music on this CD at all. This interview is almost exclusively with Bono,
although Adam chimes in for a few seconds. Bono talks about his theory of "THE
song", song impressions, the whole songwriting process, etc. Next, he talks
about working on the 'The Unforgettable Fire', and the "new" ('The Joshua Tree')
songs. The interview next moves on to Bruce Springsteen comparisons, and the
whole "rock and roll star" status symbol. After Adam buts in for a second, Bono
shares his thoughts about Adam, before ending the interview by talking about the
"arena" stage of the band, and finally, Bono shares some thoughts on Brian Eno.
It starts right in the middle of the interview, also ends that way. Good thing
about this is that it is a one-on-one interview. The interviewer is very
knowledgeable of their music which takes interview to a more than superficial
interview. Overall it's not that bad cool picture CD not too much overall. Good
collector CD.

Comments:
The first of these two interviews is available on the video 'The Interview
Sessions" and tape copies of the second are readily available as well, but this
is still one of the rare interview discs that is worth the price. Larry is
positively loquacious in the first interview, talking about starting the band
and the Irish music scene. (Bono actually has to struggle at one point to get a
word in.) The second interview is the semi-famous 1987 interview in which Bono
and Edge talk about the decision not to make JT a double album. (This interview
starts at the (29:10) mark). This CD was included with a "Limited Edition"
CD-sized book by Mark (of "Out Of Control" fame) Taylor, allegedly a 120 page
book, but the copy I bought was missing 25 pages. The book is published by
Carlton Books (ISBN 1 85868 134 0). The first interview is also available on ALL
I WANT IS... and both interviews are available on WORDS ABOUT MUSIC. This is not
a bootleg. It is a "legitimate" interview CD, featuring U2. There is no music on
this CD at all. The CD is a picture disc featuring a famous picture of Bono
which is also featured on the cover of THE ULTIMATE 7" & 12" COLLECTION CDs. The
cover of the CD has the same picture as the CD itself.

Just as the title implies, this is indeed a recording of a U2 press conference.
It's relatively short and only Adam Clayton appears to have been present
although from the sounds of the question the proverbial other three may simply
have nodded off from sheer boredom. No major insights or revelations. This disc
is a picture disc with a photo of Bono from the R&H era. Distributed by

Comments:
Discs like this exist solely as warnings to deranged completists (like me). It
consists of an English-accented man asking questions and then inserting
"answers" from other interviews. As if that weren't bad enough, the
"interviewer" consistently refers to Bono as "Bow-No." For all I know, the boys
rattle off their cellphone numbers at the end but I couldn't listen to more than
5 minutes of this drek. This disc isn't worth a penny. A picture disc with a
photo of Bono in a JT era ensemble playing the guitar. This is not a bootleg. It

Interview 2: Excellent broadcast interview. Very clear.
Comments:
This is not a bootleg. It is a "legitimate" interview CD, featuring U2. There is
no music on this CD at all. Both interviews basically feature the entire band.
The first interview is conducted in front of some sort of studio audience. A
recent 'Rolling Stone' poll is discussed, as well the origins of the band (the
early days, etc.). The early sound of U2, the structure of U2 songs, and Bono's
voice and accent are discussed next. A "question and answer" session with the
audience members is next, before the band move into such topics as Phil
Leonard's passing, their Live Aid performance, and Bono's collaboration with
'Clannad.' The first interview ends with a discussion of the "freebie" surprise
gig at Croke Park the previous year, and talk of the next album, 'The Joshua
Tree.' The second interview also features the entire band, but the sound quality
is remarkably clear. During this interview, the band discuss gearing up for the
release of 'The Joshua Tree', and basically what 'The Joshua Tree' is, and what
it stands for. The band talks about the "double album" possibilities, and the
"new sound" of U2 for 'The Joshua Tree' as well as the focus of the album. Next,
the band discusses the writing of "In God's Country", and choosing "With Or
Without You" as the first single. Next, the discussion moves on to cover "I
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and finally "Red Hill Mining Town"
(both the song and working with Neil Jordan on the VIDEO).

Comments:
Where this CD comes from is something I don't know, but it sounds fantastic. I
have several bootlegs (contract demos, shadows and tall trees etc.) containing
the old A & B-sides, but these recordings all have very heavy noise and music
which 'shivers'. On this one all the music sounds great. The cover claims
original vinyl was extensively remastered using the professional ProTools III.
Whenever available CD sources were used, but where they did get the original New
Year's day edit from CD I don't know. The CD-R has got a neat sticker accurately
placed onto it and a very neat back and front cover. Apparantly it was made in
Holland, since it contains a 28 page booklet with an extensive chronology of
U2's history from the early days to 1983. It even has a chronology from the
members before they entered U2. Again, I'm very glad I found this one, I'm going
to throw away the others which contain these songs!

Sound Quality:
May be good audience.
Comments:
While the CD case clearly says "Recorded at the Houston Astrodome, etc...,"
there are several clues which indicate to me that this show is actually from the
Silverdome, Detroit, September 9, 1992. First, during "Zoo Station", Bono at one
point sings "...Detroit City tonight..." and later, during "The Fly", he yells
"Achtung Motown." Pretty obvious... A more subtle clue occurs before "Even
Better Than the Real Thing". The channel hopping sequence contains the famous
MTV Music Awards conversation with Garth (Dana Carvey), which definitely
happened at the Detroit show. This is also definitely not a soundcheck show.
It's hard to tell whether it's audience or soundboard. The audience is there,
but you don't hear the kind of noise one normally associates with an audience
show. At the same time, the instrument mix would indicate that this is probably
not a soundboard tape. Overall, the quality is quite good. The only gripe I have
is that the guitar level is too low at times, most notably during "Zoo Station",
"Desire", and "Sunday Bloody Sunday". All in all, this is a very listenable CD.

Various. Most of the sources are U2's CD singles (see below).
Sound Quality:
Very good studio quality but...
Comments:
[Original Review]: Where to start? Well, many of these songs have never been
played live so it's amazing how Allen Records got U2 to perform for them
exclusively. I have one word for this: Bogus! Many of these tracks are taken
directly from B-Sides with crowd noise overlapping the tracks. Avoid this one at
all costs. You have been warned. Track 18 is listed on the CD cover as "Night
And Day", but the actual song on the CD is "Running To Stand Still". This track
is also one of the best versions I have heard. For the record, I have heard four
different live versions. The songs that are actually live are from the 1993
Dublin broadcast.
[Zem's Review]: Firstly, the live songs are not from the 1993 Dublin broadcast,
but from different 1992 Outside Broadcast shows. Do you remember the U2
Thanksgiving Special that was aired on TV around the world at the end of 1992?
It had live stuff, Interference, documentaries, interviews, shash and Zoo TV. It
was centred around Outside Broadcast, and this CD surfaced soon afterwards, and
the Thanksgiving Special is the source of the live tracks. In fact, many of the
live tracks are cut where David Saltz (the Zoo TV reporter) was talking, or
where the whole song wasn't played Streets). Secondly, there is a gem on this CD
which I think the original reviewer overlooked. Track four is listed as Wire,
but it is in fact a remix of Wire. I don't know what the remix is titled. I have
never heard it anywhere else, nor heard of it. But it is definitely worth
listening to, and expands on the original. That song alone makes this CD worth
having. Another reason that this CD is worth having is the fact that the live
tracks that haven't been uncut are very good performances. After all, these are
the ones U2 chose to be shown on the Special. In particular, Mysterious Ways,
Until the End, Bullet and Running are all amazingly good renditions, and
soundboard recordings.

Comments:
Track 16 on Disc 2 features B.B.King. This is packaged in a big, very
good-looking, silk box. It says "PURE SILK LINE Copy No 2114". There are a lot
of Japanesse letters on the cover. The covers says: "Various songs recorded
during the 80's", and that's exactly what this is. The songs vary in both sound
quality and performance. The overall balance is good, however, and I am glad I
own it.

Sound Quality:
The recording speed of the studio demos is too fast and there is some hiss. The
singles have excellent studio and soundboard sound. The sound quality of the
others varies a great deal, from audience to soundboard. Most, if not all of the
tracks are mastered from vinyl resulting in some ticks and pops.
Comments:
This is not a very good bootleg. The studio demos are available with much better
sound quality on CONTRACT DEMOS, SHADOWS AND TALL TREES, etc. Almost all of the
tracks from the singles are easily obtainable on Island CD-singles with much
better sound. This would only be worth for some of the not-so-frequent live
tracks like "Tomorrow" and "Womanfish". The track editing is also very bad (i.e.
Track 2 ends at the beginning of Track 3, etc.). The radio show tracks have
little pieces of interviews with the band at the beginning and/or end of each
song. There were also some errors on the track listing.

Sound Quality:
All of the songs are almost excellent quality (as one would guess) because they
all seem to be taken from professionally recorded and produced material. There
were no skips in any of the tracks, but you can hear an hiss or light pop
(usually only when the music is fading in or out) occasionally.
Comments:
I really enjoy having all the early songs on one CD. Although every song has
been released by CBS or Island, they are all out of print and very hard to find
(not to mention very expensive). In my opinion, it was well worth the $20 to
have the 20 songs ($1 per song is pretty darn good!). Although it's not original
digital mastering, the quality is at least as good as that of a vinyl copy in
excellent shape. I like the song choices and how they are arranged. It seems as
if a bit of thought went into making the arrangement of this CD flow smoothly. I
certainly don't regret having it and can't imagine anyone being disappointed
with it.

Comments:
Track 1 is incomplete. Apparently, this is the first soundboard bootleg from the
PopMart tour. The sound is awesome. A great bootleg to have if you're looking
for live, perfect-sounding PopMart tracks. The very first part of "Gone" has
been cut off (a German presenter was talking over it) and "Please" lacks its
intro as well. Nevertheless, the transition between the Cologne and Rotterdam
shows is perfect. U2 were in great shape both nights and it shows! Tracks 1 and
12 are studio songs, but they make a nice addition to the live material. This is
a really good CD! A bit disappointing that "Even Better Then The Real Thing
(Perfecto Mix)" and "Pop Muzik (PopMart Mix)" are studio versions and are not
live. All in all a very good CD, but if you've already got POPDREAM BELIEVER,
there's no real need to buy this. The sound quality is extremely good! The live
recordings must be remastered or something, because the crowd noise is virtually
gone. You can only barely hear the crowd at the end of each track you can hear
the crowd. The cover is white with a yellow lemon in the middle with "U2" and
"FIRST NIGHTS IN EUROPE" printed in red. Inside the cover is a black and white
photo of the band from the PopMart-era. On the back of the inlay is another
black and white photo. Inside the tray liner is a black and white photo of Adam
with his mouth wide open. The back cover features a color photo of the band,
sitting on a couch, in front of a palm tree. The CD itself is yellow with green
psychedelic rings on it, and the words "U2 FIRST NIGHTS IN EUROPE" (also in
green). Vicente Fortea and Kai H. Braekke contributed this review.

improved (say chronologically), but this collection speaks for itself - If you
want these songs together, here they are. No surprises.

Probably soundboard. It is an excellent recording. It's comparable to the live

Comments:
This disc may be a collection of the very best recordings made through the
early-era shows, especially the version of "40". It is very good (and long,
6:30). The crowd just doesn't stop singing, "How long, to sing this song...".
Then Larry makes an extra drum solo, and two minutes after, the music finally
fades out. Unfortunately, the artwork is poor. There is only one photo on the
cover of Bono's face. He's wearing a hat and standing in front of a microphone.
Nice, but not enough. This CD is a good start for fans that don't have early
shows recorded (like me when I bought it). Since the tracks were taken from
other boots, though, big collectors may already have all of them. There are
other boots containing the December 6, 1982 recordings. See also: AN ELECTRIC

The sound quality varies from average audience recordings to excellent

Bono. Unsure of the price, as it was a gift. Excellent, excellent, excellent
investment! Bono is very talkative on almost every track. On the last track he
explains why, how, and when he wrote the song. Vverall a great album if you
forget about tracks 14-17, I have no clue where the radio recordings came from.
The alternate versions of „I Will Follow“, „Sunday Bloody Sunday“, „The Ocean“
and „Surrender“ are amazing, as a matter of fact I prefer them over the reg
versions. The '78 outtakes are awesome.

"One Tree Hill" is above excellent. The CD itself is quite nice-looking, with a

Disc 1 is really fantastic. It spotlights the energy of the band in 1982 and
1983 during the 'War Tour' (most of the songs come from London, England,
December 6, 1982 and Boston, MA, May 6, 1983), and you can find some
lesser-heard songs like "A Celebration". Disc 2 is also very good, and contains
some songs are not heard often as well, such as "She's A Mystery To Me" and
"Slow Dancing". Most of Disc 2 was recorded in Rotterdam at the very beginning
of 1990. This CD comes in a beautiful black velvet box, with U2 written in gold
letters, really nice!

Comments:
Overall, the sound quality of the 'Rattle And Hum' video tracks is excellent,
while the other tracks sound not so good. However, it would take a hardcore U2
fan to notice that the 'Rattle And Hum' tracks were recorded too fast (meaning
the tempo is faster than it was on the video), but a casual listener wouldn't
notice it as much. For example, "Bad" on the video is (8:13) while in the CD, it
is (7:45). "Running To Stand Still" finishes at (3:50), while in the video it
was longer. This means that the recording was too fast. The sound quality is
easily one of the best among an 'Joshua Tree'-era recordings, but it does not
live up to the great sound of the video. It lacks that "surround feel" and
Bono's vocals sound like a tape played in Dolby NR. It lacks the extra depth
(meaning you can't hear his breath). The other tracks are not that interesting
except for "Maggie's Farm." The "Springhill Mining Disaster" has a lot more hiss
and static that the other April 29, 1987 bootlegs I have heard. This might mean
that this was taken from a second source or from a vinyl source. "October,"
"Gloria," and "40" are "so-so" because the recording levels change in the middle
of each song. The volume gets louder and softer at times. Overall, this is a
good bootleg to buy if you just want to listen to the 'Rattle And Hum tracks or
want to hear a near- perfect, pristine-sounding live U2 recording. However,
hardcore fans who have a good feel for U2 will have to bear with the ever-so-
slight faster tempo of the songs. It will probably go unnoticed to some. It is a
great recording off of the video but it could have been better (tempo, recording
level, and mixing wise). One more thing: at the beginning of "Running To Stand
Still," you can slightly hear the voice of Edge talking about "I Still Haven't
Found What I'm Looking For" (the part where he was sitting by the wall on the
video). Since, I still Haven't Found was the track after Exit/Gloria in the
video). I assume that the bootlegger faded out "Exit (incl. Gloria)" after the
song while beginning "Running To Stand Still" thus the weird sound of The Edge
talking in the background. "October" was also from the April 29, 1987 Chicago
show, but and it is only a very good audience recording (like "Springhill Mining
Disaster") because of the hiss. "Gloria" is also taken from the same concert.
"Maggie's Farm" must be the version from the concert where Bono forgot the
lyrics because it seemed to be a very improvised and quite a long version
(around 6 minutes). There is a portion of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," probably
lasting for a second or less, where the left speaker goes dead and the sound is
kind of "deaf". This only lasts for a second or less, but considering this was
supposed to be recorded straight from the video, it kind of left me disappointed
with the recording. Color cover. Picture CD. This bootleg is quite disappointing
and not recommended. First of all, there is just too much hiss in the sound thus
implying that it was taken from an analogue source (probably VHS to DAT to CD).
Secondly, the recording speed is way too fast! The songs are simply going too
fast (another way to support my theory that the source of this all is analog,
and that the boot must have just been high-speed "dubbed" in a faulty way). This
also shows in the slight hiss. The other tracks are nothing worth noting. The
Chicago tracks are lifted of the more inferior Chicago boot of `87 (therefore
not ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET but maybe from NEW HORIZON). The other bonus tracks
are simply "good audience" except for the "Maggie's Farm" song which may
actually be "very good the excellent soundboard. It is also worth noting that
the bootleg is exactly 74 minutes long. Thus, there may be another theory that
the R&H tracks were conveniently edited (meaning making them play a lot faster)
so that they will be able to be crammed to the 74 minutes. I personally would
have preferred more 'Rattle And Hum' tracks rather than the weak tracks chosen
to fill up this CD. There could have even been less tracks chosen so that the
tempo of the 'Rattle And Hum' tracks could have been kept intact.

Comments:
Listed as "Philadelphia Spectrum 1990", but this is definitely wrong. Judging by
the set list, this looks suspiciously like an edited-down version of the New
Year's Eve 1989 concert from Dublin, Ireland (although I've never heard this
CD), available in its entirety on HAPPY NEW YEAR, etc.

Comments:
Very good disc indeed with colorful photos. The sound quality of the the Cologne
broadcast is perfect, and the band was also in great form. The first bars of
"Gone" are cut off, and the end of "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" fades out
halfway through with some German DJ speaking. The Rotterdam portion is recorded
from the TV special and the sound quality on these tracks is notably poorer, but
still good. The version of "Please" is raw-sounding and more energetic than the
album version. "Miami," on the other hand, is the poorest track on this CD. It
is actually the album version with Allen Ginsberg speaking over the lyrics of
the song. It was recorded shortly before his death. Track 12 is listed as "If
You Want That Velvet Dress." I consider it a very good purchase, with the
version of "Discotheque" being worth the price alone. It contains a snippet of
that "That's The Way I Like It." This is still an excellent disc, especially the
Cologne part. Buy this if you happen to find it!
[Adrian Elmer]: The version of Pop Muzik found on this CD is claimed on the back
cover to be a demo version. The version is quite interesting when compared to
the version released on the various "Last Night On Earth" singles. This version
contains vocals that sound like Bono double tracked singing in two different
octaves, with the original vocal by Robin Scott (the vocal used on the version
played at the PopMart concerts) also possibly mixed in. The full on drums found
on the single version never appear, so this version sounds a little flatter, but
still very enjoyable and definitely interesting.

Very good broadcast. Unfortunately this CD was mastered from vinyl. As such,
pops and ticks can be heard.
Comments:
An energetic performance, although the CD could have been longer. Tracks 1-11 on
PRESIDENT are the same as tracks 1-10 on PHILADELPHIA CREAM. Both were mastered
from vinyl, but PHILADELPHIA CREAM has a better sound than PRESIDENT. I spotted
this when I was looking for a nice live version of "Two Hearts Beat As One" to
put on a mix DAT. I noticed that Bono's comments were similar and I grew
suspicious. Each track is the same. Standard fair for U2 live. Interesting only
for the songs U2 doesn't play that often, such as "Two Hearts Beat As One",
"Rejoice", and "I Fall Down".

Digital audio copy of the 'Rattle And Hum' movie CD-I.
Sound Quality:
Excellent professional recording.
Comments:
This CD is the same as the 'Rattle And Hum' movie CD-I. Both CDs are the same
picture, that of a famous 1987 black and white photo of Bono singing to the
crowd. The front and back covers are also the same as the released video.
Inside, there is a big photo of Bono and B.B. King. The text on the back cover
reads: "A concert movie on an unprecedented scale, Rattle and Hum captures U2
-On and of stage - during their triumphant Joshua Tree Tour. From the giant
Technicolor stadium celebrations to the black & white intensity of the indoor
shows, this is U2 at their best. Follow the group across America, exploring new
influences, playing with the legendary B.B. King on a journey which takes them
from Dublin to Graceland, from San Francisco to the streets of Harlem, from The
Joshua Tree to Rattle and Hum." Overall, this is simply an audio copy of the
movie, but features digital sound. There is no distortion to the audio, but as
is a flaw with audio from a CD-I source, there is slightly too much treble and
not quite enough bass. A simple (and slight) equalizer adjustment is all you
need to really get your money's worth. This is hardly noticeable, and the sound
quality overall is superb. This is a welcome collection item.

Comments:
This CD-ROM comes in a jewel case, with an 8-panel booklet, with many beautiful
pictures of the concert. This release is divided into a video CD-ROM track
playable only on computer systems. The second track is the audio portion which
is playable on audio CD players and is of very good quality. Unfortunately,
Moonraker has not indexed the audio-only portion of this disc - something that
they've done on other enhanced CDs. This means that if you are buying this only
to play on your audio CD player, you can only get minimal use and you can't skip
or program tracks. The visual part is excellent. When started, a movie clip of
Pop Muzik is played for about 30 seconds with great audio. After that, a full
screen color menu appears, with 4 pictures on it. When pointing on a picture
(Bono), a short intro of "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" is heard. When clicking
on it, the movie clip starts, and the song is played. All of the movie clips are
of great quality. The visual material was professionally shot. Great! The
minimum computer requirements are: Windows 95 or better, 486/25 or better, 4x
CD-ROM drive, Quicktime for Windows, sound card, 640 x 480 monitor resolution,
8-bit color, and 8mb of RAM. Also playable on Macs.

Comments:
Well, here it is: the world's first U2 karaoke CD. This is NOT a bootleg, it is
a legitimate "release" from a very reputable US karayoke company, The Singing
Machine. There are really only 8 songs on this CD, but each one is on the disc
twice. The difference is that Tracks 1-8 only feature "backing vocals" on each
track (much like the backing vocals that The Edge sings on the songs). The
"backing vocals" are OK, and they help a lot in trying to remember where you are
(if indeed, you are really trying to sing along to the music). Tracks 9-16 not
only feature the "backing vocals", but also "guide vocals". These "guide vocals"
are a bit of a pain because not only can the guy not sing very well, but the
"guide vocals" are very prominent on regular (non-karaoke) stereo systems, and
they only appear on one channel (the right, I think). The "guide vocals" are
just like someone else singing along with you. The music is NOT performed by U2,
but whoever did do the music did a pretty good job, in my opinion. I bought it
two years ago for about $20 (US) from the company directly. If you really want
to annoy your friends, rush to the phone and order this CD. I would recommend it
for any U2 fan who wants something "different", or for "the fan who has
everything". Not for everyone, but overall, a pretty good CD. For more
information on this and any other karaoke CDs, contact The Singing Machine at
Direct Media Marketing.

Comments:
The packaging says, "Recorded live in Sydney 10th October 1984". Don't believe
it. In truth, most of you will already be very familiar with this boot, because
six of the Track (3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11)sare the same as on the 'Under A Blood
Red Sky' album, and "Seconds", "New Year's Day", and "October" are the same as
on the 'Under A Blood Red Sky' video. (What clued me in, by the way, was: Bono
introducing "Sunday Bloody Sunday" with "There's been a lot of talk..."; a
hauntingly familiar insert of "Send In the Clowns" during "Electric Co."; Edge
making the same mistake during "Party Girl" and Bono calling him "Guitar hero!"
here again; and Bono yelling, "This is Red Rocks!" during "Gloria".) These
versions of the songs are unedited, however, so they weren't taken directly from
'Under A Blood Red Sky'. There's more crowd noise, too, but it doesn't detract
noticeably. What's truly annoying isn't so much that this show isn't really from
Sydney, but that it's not even the real Red Rocks show. The recordings from the
other concerts on 'Under A Blood Red Sky' are on here too. Anyway, buy this
bootleg only if it's especially cheap or you have plenty of money to burn. It's
good, but most of it's available on the commercial releases. The liner notes
feature an essay by some Irish journalist who went to Mount Temple High School
with Bono and The Edge, which is interesting, but it'd be nice if we knew who he
was.

Comments:
This is a great CD of B-sides for those of us who are still collecting the

hear, and LOVE the B-side songs. The CD itself is black and silver. The
packaging makes this bootleg look like something official. The left disc insert
photo and says "thanks to J.C. and Sean for their contributions to this
compilation of lost treasures." This CD is brand new and professionally packaged
in shrink wrap. This is not a homemade CD-R. The sound quality is excellent.
Full color cover. Picture CD. These are B-sides from various singles from 1979
to 1997. All of them are studio quality since they were recorded straight from a
CD. I do not know which version of "Holy Joe" is on this CD. My only gripes are
that they left out the b-sides from "With or Without You," and all the times
listed on the back cover are incorrect. John Boshears contributed to this
review.

Comments:
This is from various locations, as the sleeve states: "This CD offers a trip
through twelve years of hits and hymns in small clubs and huge bowls".
Nevertheless, this it what I've been able to come up with. On Track 9, Bono
yells "Statue of Liberty" just before the opening riff. On Tracks 1 and 11, Bono
demonstrates how the opening riff of "Angel Of Harlem" sounds like "Suspicious
Minds". Later on, he introduces B.B. King as "blues monster, Mr. B.B. King", and
during his rap says that B.B. King is "the same age as my old man, but he's a
lot cooler than my old man, and he can kick ass better than I can ....". The
"feel" and quality of Tracks 15, 16, and 17 suggests that they're all from the
same concert.

[This CD, most likely, does not exist on the Montana label. For all intents and
purposes, I left this review in just incase. If this CD actually DOES exist, it
is nothing more than an exact copy of the other ULTRA RARE TRAX VOLUME 2 from an
unknown label (URU2122). Many people from Europe have told me that it simply
never was released, but that Montana DID release ULTRA-RARE TRAX NO. 1 and
ULTRA-RARE TRAX NO. 3. If someone finds out otherwise, please let me know so I
can correct it.] An excellent CD, just for the rare live performances of
"Hawkmoon 269", "Spanish Eyes", and "Mothers Of The Disappeared". "Womanfish"
and "Sun City" also made the CD worth getting. Track 18 is taken right from the
single, and is not a live performance. This CD is also known as Disc 2 of the 3

Comments:
This is a fine CD for those who want a 1CD boot of the PopMart tour. The sound
quality is very good. The cover pictures and the pictures inside the sleeve are
of the band doing a soundcheck at an unknown stadium. The disc itself has a
picture of Bono singing to the empty crowd. Nice collection of songs, especially
with "Holy Joe" from the PopMart press conference at K Mart. An absolutely
brilliant album! Almost like a "greatest hits" album of the European leg of the
PopMart Tour.

Comments
On "The Fly", the treble is recorded at a higher level than the bass and Bono's
voice seems to suffer from excessive distortion. Surprisingly, "Surrender" is an
excellent recording with the near perfect sound. "I Will Follow" is the worst
sounding-track on the CD. The tracks are mixed together to try and give this CD
the appearance of being one concert. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if it had
been done better. The end of some tracks are cut and most of them "run-in" to
the next track, a combination which can be annoying at times. I haven't heard
any of these recording before so I have been unable to pin down the exact
locations and dates. "Where The Streets Have No Name" does however, sound very
similar to the version in 'Rattle And Hum'. "With Or Without You" includes "Love
Will Tear Us Apart". Bono introduces "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For" by saying, "We've been coming over here for a few years now. Traveling from
city to city. It's only these last few years though, when we went to Chicago, we
discovered the blues. Went down to Memphis, saw Sun Studios, where Rock and Roll
was invented. Got to Graceland. Rooting through Elvis Presley's record
collection. In there amongst the Rock and Roll records we found these old gospel
records. This is a sort of gospel song, I suppose...". This is one in a series
of 'World Tour In Concert' CDs that were released in Japan. The others contain
other artists and groups like Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Prince, etc.
I can't remember exactly, but I think they all have the same picture sleeve.

Comments:
Anytime I see on of these "ZOO TV compilations", I always wonder to myself, "why
release partial shows and not the whole thing?" Well, needless to say, I would
not recommend this one. Get the actual shows from Dublin, Ireland and Sydney,
Australia instead, you'll do yourself a favor.

Sound Quality:
Very good to excellent audience recordings. There is some hiss audible in the
background. The crowd noise is almost non-existant during the performances of
the songs. The entire bootleg sounds like one LONG concert (to me, at least),
there's little change in sound from location to location. The recording level is
a bit low.
Comments:
It comes in a slimling 2CD jewel case, with a picture of Bono as "The Fly" on
the front cover. The back of the CD has "U2" taking up the back with track
listing. The track times listed are taken from the printing (so they might not
be totally accurate). The length of each disc is from what my CD player
indicated. The intro is a song by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy,
"Television, The Drug Of The Nation", from which the title of this bootleg came.
Tracks 1-7 of Disc 1 took place on Bono's Birthday, with The Edge singing on 3
and 4. The Mac Phisto calls vary from funny to wasted space (he does talk with
Salman Rushdie, as well as Rushdie appearing on stage). "Bullet The Blue Sky"
has the anti-US (as well as most of Western Europe) tirade. If you're looking
for a "best of" from the Zooropa Tour, this should be considered. No need to go
after a dozen or so boots to find particular rarely-played songs, this bootleg
has many of them. The consistently good to excellent recording makes the entire
bootleg listenable and enjoyable. At the very worst, the volume may need minor
adjusting as the bootleg switches between venues. It's consistency is great. The
performance of "Bad" has L. Shankar on violin, a real treat and change of pace.
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" has the crowd get into the
performance, while Bono adds additional verses. A performance of "With Or
Without You" is noticeably missing. The performance of "One" is a
disappointment, Bono missed out on the first few verses (for whatever reason).
Why this performance was included on the boot is beyond me, except for the
possibility that it leads into "She's a Mystery to Me" (rarely played live). The
Mac Phisto-sung versions of "Desire" and "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" can be
somewhat annoying to those used to just plain Bono. The bootleg uses the 2
CD-in-1 jewel box. I find it annoying and flimsy.

The first "unauthorized" U2 CD-ROM. History in the making. This disc is awesome!
I highly recommend it! The interactive part has the ZooTV Phillips / MTV / FOX
special and 'Zooropa' interviews. There are also parts of what could have been
the actual videos for "Zooropa" and "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car",
from the ABC In Concert specials from the Zooropa Tour. This is a great addition
to my collection. The CD also has a section called ZOO RADIO which was broadcast
in Dublin. It has music and interviews. There are also 100 concert photos on the
CD. Most of these have been unavailable. Finally, the CD has a link to many U2
sites on the Web. You really get a lot of bang for your buck with this CD!

Comments:
This really isn't a good boot. The sound quality has its moments, but is
generally not that good. The editing of the parts isn't very smooth, and it's
not a complete show. The packaging is nice with a picture disc and a spiffy
case, but it isn't worth it. I also think that this bootleg is a copy of another
bootleg which I can't remember, although I could be wrong. For some reason, they
list the songs starting with "Intro - George Bush Rap" instead of listing it as
Track 1, which is how it is indexed on the disc itself. Track 8 is with Lou
Reed.

Comments:
Disc 1: The Red Rockers appear on Track 15. "Bad" was played after "A Sort Of
Homecoming", but has been edited out. "Gloria" was played (again) after "40",
but it too has been edited out. These edits were probably made in order to allow
this performance to fit onto one disc. The CD itself is a picture disc. This CD
is also sold separately. See also: FOUR AT FOUR, and PEACE UNDER A CHICAGO SKY.
Disc 2: This is a picture disc CD. It is also available separately.
Disc 3: B.B. King appears on Tracks 12 and 13. This picture disc CD is basically
an edited down, one disc version of the same performance that was issued on the
double CD, FREEDOM OF THE SPIRITS. This disc is also available separately.

THE FLYING TIGERS BOX SETS
Flying Tigers has released a set of four different box sets, THE NEW WORLD -

(1988-1993), and RARE TRACKS - VOL. 4 (1979-1993). All have gotten good reviews,

Comments:
Disc 1 through Track 3 of Disc 2 labeled "The Unforgettable Fire Tour". Tracks 4
through 6 of Disc 2 labeled "The Amnesty International Tour". Disc 2, Track 7
through Disc 3, Track 10 labeled "The Joshua Tree Tour". Tracks 11 through 15 on
Disc 3 labeled "Impromptu Tour". Worth every penny I paid. The sound quality on
most of these tracks is amazing. This boxed set is basically a combination of
ROCK'S HOTTEST TICKET (Chicago) and THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT (see those for their
respective reviews) as well as parts of ROCK & ROLL STOP THE TRAFFIC and RAIN ON
YOU. Check out all of these reviews to get an idea on this one. Overall, this
bootleg arguably has the best sounding and performance of tours from the 'The
Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree' eras. "October", "Gloria" and "40"
have been omitted from the Chicago performance (most likely due to lack of disc
space). Bono goes into "Do They Know It's Christmas?" during "40". The Chicago
performance of "With Or Without You" includes the extra verse and a snippet of
Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". "Love Rescue Me" is the same
performance as the one on the "Angel of Harlem" CD Single. Each CD is in its own
jewel box. The booklets have the same cover but inside each one are different
pictures of the band. The box cover shows the actual Joshua Tree in a purple and
red atmospheric background (kind of like 'The Joshua Tree' meets 'The
Unforgettable Fire'). My copy will not be for sale anytime soon. Not to be
confused with KEEPING THE FAITH VOLUMES 1 & 2. This is the second of four boxed
sets in the Flying Tigers series, comprising THE NEW WORD - VOL. 1, KEEPING THE
FAITH - VOL. 2, THE FLY - VOL. 3, and RARE TRACKS - VOL. 4.

Comments:
Indeed a worthwhile effort by all collaborators on this one! Disc 1 is an
exceptional take. The highly energized opening of "Sympathy For The Devil" and
"God Part II" sets the pace for the first three songs (very good live versions
of each one too!). The pace slows a little as U2 goes into "All I Want Is You",
"Where The Streets Have No Name", and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking
For", but the atmosphere is perfectly created. "Where The Streets Have No Name"
was dedicated to Samuel Beckett, who passed away that week. Bono says, "It's
kind of sad he never made it home, but he dreamt of other lands, of another
home, Where The Streets Have No Name." Then, in " I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For", Bono says (of playing back in Dublin), "We've been playing in all
these BIG places, so we thought we like to play a small place again...It's nice
to be home." Disc 2 begins with the continuation of the Point Depot concerts.
Tracks 1-5 are the "post-card" to the European nations, as Bono wishes
Czechoslovakia, Romania, Germany, etc.. a very happy new year. The tempo speeds
up again as the highly charged "New Year's Day" takes the stage. This was the
concert that was broadcast live to Eastern and Western Europe, so undoubtedly
the emotional implications of the ending cold-war heightened the adrenaline
flowing through Bono's veins at this point. Tracks 6-8 are a cut from some leg
of the ZOO TV Tour. Not much to say here other than U2 did an interesting
combination of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with "Stand By Me".
Tracks 9-14 are from the worldwide broadcast of the August 28, 1993 from Dublin,
Ireland. It continues on Disc 3. Nothing new as far as the Zooropa Tour goes. If
you've heard these songs as part of their tour before, you've heard them on this
disc. The sound quality is quite exceptional for a bootleg, with very little
interference or that sort from the audience. In all, I would highly recommend
this set to anyone who can get their hands on it. It was a little pricey if I
can remember right, somewhere around $90CA, but worth it. The only downside is
that there are no liner notes. There are only a few pictures (some of which
aren't bad) that have been collected throughout the tours. Enjoy!
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
If you want early rare U2 tracks, this is the CD boxed set to buy. Songs like
"The Fool", "Tomorrow", "Tonight", and "Inside Out" are ones you don't hear of
often... if ever!!! Track 9 is labeled "False Prophet", but I've seen it
frequently referred to as "I Realize", but I'm not sure of the real title.
"Exit" and the "small crowd version" of "Springhill Mining Disaster" both have
great sound. Songs like "Spanish Eyes", "My Hometown" and "Womanfish" are the
same on ULTRA RARE TRAX VOLS. 1, 2, and 3. Disc 3 features some good cuts of
songs from various albums. Disc 3, Tracks 9-16 are from the SALOME "Axtung
Beibi" outtakes. Disc 3, Track 8, "One", is the acoustic "Automatic Baby"
version. This is the last of four boxed sets in the Flying Tigers series, THE
NEW WORD - VOL. 1, KEEPING THE FAITH - VOL. 2, THE FLY - VOL. 3, and RARE TRACKS
- VOL. 4.

Sound Quality:
Excellent studio. This is not direct from DAT, though, some static is present.
Comments:
This seems to be a Korean-produced version of the SALOME outtakes. This set is
not mastered directly from the original DAT tapes, though. The titles I have
used here match those found in the Salome "pseudo liner notes" (I'm not sure of
the author of that document, but it can be found at several U2 WWW sites. Quite
interesting.). Many of these songs are early versions of 'Achtung Baby' tracks,
while others are unique and unreleased songs or musical "ideas". The material is
somewhat repetitive (nine versions of Salome), but provides interesting insight
into the development and evolution of the songs. I don't know of any bootlegged
'Achtung Baby' session material which does not appear on this recording.

Comments:
This infamous bootleg of the 'Achtung Baby' sessions. Unlike the majority of the
numerous other CD pressings of this material, this was mastered directly from
the DAT's that U2 produced as working tapes during the recording sessions. As
such, the recording quality is outstanding. The titles I have used here match
those found in the Salome "pseudo liner notes" (I'm not sure of the author of
that document, but it can be found at several U2 WWW sites. Quite interesting.).
Many of these songs are early versions of 'Achtung Baby' tracks, while others
are unique and unreleased songs or musical "ideas". The material is somewhat
repetitive (nine versions of Salome), but provides interesting insight into the
development and evolution of the songs. I don't know of any bootlegged 'Achtung
Baby' session material which does not appear on this recording. Earlier
pressings have Tracks 9 and 10 on Disc 1 indexed together. There are no titles
anywhere on the packaging. The back cover simply lists the length of each track.
Discs 1 and 2 are listed as having only 11 tracks each.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
This 6CD set is a must for any U2 collection. Contained within, almost 7 hours
of 'Achtung Baby' demos and rare tracks. Part 1 is 3CD's-worth of the
"lengendary" lost demos from 'Achtung Baby', recorded in Dublin during mid-1990.
Hear U2's original studio demos for 'Achtung Baby' favorites, such as: "Who's
Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", "The Fly", and "Even Better Than The Real Thing".
Also non-LP tracks, such as: "Lady With The Spinning Head", "Where Did All Go
Wrong" and no less than 23 takes of "Salome" [see below for details], many
incomplete and rough "first run-through" versions and some more reminiscent of
the finally-released version. More importantly, however, at least another 5-10
songs from these sessions wich have still yet to appear in any other shape or
form, most in their near completed stage. Part 2 of this set is 3CD's-worth of
remixes and rare tracks from this all-important period. Featured are all the
extended dance mixes of all the singles released, and many rare tracks, also.
Some brilliantly-clever U2 medleys complete this set. So sit back and enjoy what
most critics and fans would have to agree is not only the band's most important
and musically diverse period, but undoubtably the band's best. Also included is
a 28-page full-color booklet (11"x 11"), containing many rare photos, stories,
and fantastic reproductions of some of the different "Achtung Baby" album
covers. This set comes in a gold-colored flat tin, with "U2: Sessions" embossed
on the front. This is like sitting in with the band as they reinvented and
created their new sound. The outtakes seem so personal, almost as if you
"borrowed" their diary. The remixes and "rare tracks" are pure U2, that make the
originals seem like different songs. I would give it an "A+++". The discs claim
to be "24kt gold-plated, Computer Enhanced-Digitally Remastered" (whatever that
means). This set might also go by the name of THE ACHTUNG BABY OUTTAKES, REMIXES
AND RARE TRACKS. This is supposedly a limited-edition of 1.000 copies. This is a
UK bootleg.
[Note: All of the song titles for Disc 1-3 correspond to the "Fan Working
Titles" (FWT) for the 'Salome' Liner Notes (included with the Chronological
Version of this guide). The actual titles will never really be known for sure,
and the titles listed on this particular bootleg will be different than the
titles listed above (for Discs 1-3 only). Disc 1 consists of 23 snippets
(tracks) of the 9 original actual takes which can be found spread over the
original 3CD SALOME - THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES, from Jewels Records. So,
although Disc 1 is indexed for 23 tracks, there are actually only 9 takes of the
song "Salome" on Disc 1.]

Comments:
Disc 1:
A lot of these tracks are the same as the ones on the SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI]
OUTTAKES 3CD set. The live tracks are not the greatest sound quality, but are
very interesting. (i.e., Larry on vocals, Axl Rose, etc.). This CD is also known
as Disc 1 of the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE TRAX. The set is actually numbered
and only 1000 were made.
Disc 2:
An excellent CD, just for the rare live performances of "Hawkmoon 269", "Spanish
Eyes", and "Mothers Of The Disappeared". "Womanfish" and "Sun City" also made
the CD worth getting. Track 18 is taken right from the single, and is not a live
performance. This CD is also known as Disc 2 of the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE
TRAX.
Disc 3:
A very interesting collection of live tracks, including a number of unreleased
songs (Tracks 9-12, 16). Track 16 is introduced by Bono as listed, but the song
is the same as "The Dream Is Over", (see CONTRACT DEMOS, BEFORE THE LEGEND
STARTED, ZOOMERANG IN ADELAIDE, or SHADOWS AND TALL TREES) but with different
lyrics. Track 8 is performed with Bob Dylan. This CD is also known as Disc 3 of
the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE TRAX.

Comments:
The Miami parts of the discs are the same as WELCOME TO ZOO TV. Bob Dylan joins
U2 for "I Shall Be Released" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". Tracks 12 and 13
of Disc 2 are not done by U2, but they have Bono singing backed by an all star
band consisting of: Dylan, Carlos Santana, Mick Taylor, Ian MacLagan, Greg
Sutton, Collin Allen, Leslie Dowdell. Both Dylan and Bono take turns singing
lead. The packing of this set is far superior to WELCOME TO ZOO TV. The CDs are
in a box, along with a 12 page booklet and a color poster. Inside the booklet,
there is a commentary about the show in Miami in both English and Italian and
numerous pictures from the ZOO TV Tour. Unlike the "crunched" style of WELCOME
TO ZOO TV, the CDs come with two separate jewel cases. Yeah! Both CDs are
picture discs, showing a map of Southern Florida and the cars which were used as
props during the tour. Quite a wonderful box set, and the first bootleg I ever
bought. It cost about $48 back in 1992. The quality, in retrospect, lacks
compared to the DAT tapes that I now trade. The mics at the show sound like they
were not of the high end (Shoeps or Neumann's) but did give a wonderful insight
into a band that I loved at the time. I don't think that I have listened to the
CDs (until today) in over a year.

Comments:
[This CD, most likely, does not exist on the Montana label. For all intents and
purposes, I left this review in just incase. If this CD actually DOES exist, it
is nothing more than an exact copy of the other ULTRA RARE TRAX VOLUME 2 from an
unknown label (URU2122). Many people from Europe have told me that it simply
never was released, but that Montana DID release ULTRA-RARE TRAX NO. 1 and
ULTRA-RARE TRAX NO. 3. If someone finds out otherwise, please let me know so I
can correct it.] An excellent CD, just for the rare live performances of
"Hawkmoon 269", "Spanish Eyes", and "Mothers Of The Disappeared". "Womanfish"
and "Sun City" also made the CD worth getting. Track 18 is taken right from the

performed via satellite for The 1992 MTV Video Music Awards. This boxed set
comes with two 12-page booklets with ZOO TV pictures, etc. Also, comes with a
cool poster of the cover of the box. On Discs 1 and 2, the crowd is a bit on the
noisy side but the overall sound is very crisp. Of the three versions I have
heard of the Houston show, this is the best.
This is the original pressing on this label.

E) The 'Achtung Baby' Demos
The intent of this section is to try to clear up any confusion as to what
exactly „Salome“ is, and primarily on what different bootlegs the Achtung Baby
Demos can be found. Included in this section also are the somewhat „official“
Salome Liner Notes, which have been circulating on the internet for quite a
number of years and have found a new home now at
„http://members.home.net/sira/u2.htm“. Following these comprehensive notes are
full reviews of each of the different CDs on which the Achtung Baby Demos (or
„Salome“ as they are affectionately known) can be found. The 3 and 6 CD sets
contain all of the demos (there are only 3 CDs worth of material, the 6CD set
only offers 3 additional CDs comprised of some B-sides and remixes as "filler").

U2 - The „Achtung Baby“ Working Tapes
In the winter of 1990, U2 were hard at work in Hansa Ton recording studios in
Berlin, Germany. The ultimate result of this effort would be the November 1991
release of their next album, „Achtung Baby“. However, in December 1990 that
album was a great ways off, because U2 (unlike most other bands) entered the
studio with very few lyric or song ideas. Instead, U2 came into the studio to
create as well as record. Here they sought inspirations for songs from playing
together. They would „etch“ out ideas while improvising around some basic idea
or riff. Since all this „jamming“ was taking place in a recording studio, even
the simplest of ideas was captured on tape. The highlights of these tapes were
then edited down and compiled into „working tapes“' recorded onto DAT (Digital
Audio Tape) cassettes. Tapes of this nature were used to hold possible song
ideas, as well as a means for Brian Eno (and others) to hear the band's progress
and make suggestions about the music. In April of 1991, it was announced that
such tapes had found their way into the hand's of bootleggers. Since then, the
U2 „working tapes“ have been pressed in a variety of forms.
May 1991 - THE NEW U2: REHEARSALS AND FULL VERSIONS
The debut pressing of the sessions. Available on vinyl only, as two separate
double album packages. The covers were identical except for the colors of the
lettering. One cover featured silver lettering, while the other had gold. In
this pressing both LP's of the silver lettered album proved to be identical.
This resulted in four LP's being released, but with only three LP's worth of
material.
June 1991 - THE NEW U2: REHEARSALS AND FULL VERSIONS
It was widely rumored that the set had been pressed again, but this time without
any duplication between the LP's. If true, this meant that there were now four
LP's worth of material available.
Nov. 1991 - THE NEW U2: REHEARSALS AND FULL VERSIONS
This time the pressings were released as a boxed set of 5 LP's. Surprisingly,
there was no duplication within the set. All of these LP's were pressed on
translucent vinyl, in either blue or green (pink pressings have also been
rumored). There were now 5 LP's worth of material available, which came to a
staggering total of 3 hours, 27 minutes and 28 seconds.
Feb. 1992 - SALOME: THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTAKES
This was the release that had been deemed „too hot“ to ever be pressed. The
complete three and half hours worth of material were now available as a triple
compact disc set. Since these CD's were mastered from the original DAT
recordings, there's no quality loss between the original working tapes and these
CD's. Thus the sound quality is far superior to the LP's. The title „Salome“ is
believed to have been a working title used during the „Achtung Baby“ sessions,
but it's not clear which song it was referring to.
With these releases U2 found themselves in the dubious position of being „the
first major band to have studio sessions released before the finished product
was either released, abandoned, or the group broke up“. U2's manager Paul
McGuiness reacted to the bootlegs by releasing a press statement accusing the
bootleggers of cheating the fans by passing off inferior material. He also
stated that the finished product had evolved by leaps and bounds from what was
being illegally circulated. Regardless of the superior polish of the finished
material released as „Achtung Baby“, the material found on the bootlegs is
fascinating in and of itself. The most compelling aspect about the bootlegged
material is that, rather than offering slightly alternative versions of tracks
found on the finished record, they instead reveal the songwriting process
itself. Familiar solos, bass lines, bridges and riffs abound, and there is also
a host of interesting songs that didn't find their way onto „Achtung Baby“.
What follows are pseudo „liner notes“ for the „Achtung Baby Working Tapes“. For
the purpose of these notes, Jewels' SALOME: THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTAKES triple CD
set is used as the source of reference. Due to the nature of the recordings, the
actual titles of the songs are unknown. This makes discussions of the material
very difficult unless you happen to have the CD's available for play at the
moment of conversation, or are able to remember the running order of each disc.
Therefore, „Fan Working Titles“ (hereafter referred to as FWT) have been
created. These are only meant as an aid when discussing and digesting this
material, and do not represent what U2 might have actually called the songs.
FWT's also help keep a lineage evident as a song evolves.
These „notes“ attempt to describe the songs musically and provide an audible
association with the FWT's. These are followed by one or more „sound bites“ of
lyrics from Bono. These „sound bytes“ further aid in the identification of the
track for conversational reference, and are labeled with the approximate time of
their occurrence in brackets. The quoted material under „Bono-“ are silly and/or
amusing things Bono says (as opposed to sings). ENJOY!

Version 1.00 on July 13th, 1992 (c) Copyright 1992 (sira-vista@home.net)
The Achtung Baby Working Tapes - http://members.home.net/sira/u2.htm
Disc 1, Track 1 (5:59)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: This song must have been the most painful to evolve, since there are more
takes of it than any other on SALOME. You can virtually sing the words to
„Salome“ (from the CD single of „Even Better Than The Real Thing“) to this take.
Perhaps it's title here still should be „Got To Get Together Now“, but it's
„Salome“ for identity purposes. The bassline leads one to believe this is an
early form of „Zoo Station“". Later takes also support this theory.
WORDS:
„Love, baby please don't go“
„We got to get together now ... break!“
Disc 1, Track 2 (4:11)
FWT: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
NOTES: Here, all four members of U2 keep up a frantic pace resulting in a fast,
hard driving song that sounds GREAT! It's very repetitive, but that's the hook.
It's all four members of U2 moving pretty fast. The music „skips“ at 2:21.
WORDS:
„Did you want it?“
„Did you get it?“
„Did you feel it?“
Disc 1, Track 3 (3:44)
FWT: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
NOTES: A much more catchy version with a cool, albeit out of place, bridge.
WORDS:
„Did you get it?“
„Did you need it?“
„Did you really get what you wanted?“
Disc 1, Track 4 (6:48)
FWT: Heaven And Hell
NOTES: U2 playing the same instrumental backing as „Doctor Doctor“, but with
Bono singing completely different words. A great slow song with a nice „fat“
organ sound.
WORDS:
„Nothing's feels like this before now
Your heaven and hell
Baby, you're heaven and hell
Heaven and hell“
„Oh, heaven and hell
Anytime
I wanna chance to hold you
I wanna chance to kill you
I wanna chance to keep you awake at night
When the sunlight bursts through the room
But you can't always get everything you want
You take cards from all under the table
You're heaven
Heaven and hell
Baby you're heaven
Heaven and hell
Yeah, you're heaven
Heaven and hell“
Bono- „The organ, just organ“ [4:24], the band stops, organ picks up, and then
band comes back in. „Organ“ [5:36], the organ cuts in beautifully. „This time
when we come in, I want it quietly. Not the drums but everyone else.“ [5:44]
Disc 1, Track 5 (2:36)
FWT: Doctor Doctor
NOTES: U2 playing the same instrumental backing as „Heaven And Hell“, but Bono
singing completely different words. The music „skips“ at 1:47, fades out at
1:51, and back in at 1:55, and then back out again at 2:35.
WORDS:
„I can't hold you back“
„Doctor, Doctor
Tell me what to do
I got heartbreak in my pocket
I got sunlight next to you
Doctor, doctor
Will the difference be adjourned?“
Disc 1, Track 6 (3:57)
FWT: Jitterbug Baby
NOTES: This song fades in with a bouncy guitar riff and Bono singing in a low
voice. There's plenty of reverb on Bono and plenty of Edge „cutting“ to ensure
this song being scrapped early on. The words are quite lost in the mix.
WORDS:
„Jitterbug Baby“
„Ahhhhhaaaahhhh
Ahhhhhaaaahhhh
Jitterbug Baby“
„Jitterbug, I got my high heeled shoes“
„Ooohhhhoooooh
Ooohhhhoooooh, ya!“
„Jitterbug Baby
Out love is bad
When the sun is burning
And our love comes to
I got my high heel love
??
I am running to
My little Jitterbug Baby
Ahhhhhaaaahhhh“
Bono- „Ok, here we go!“ [2:28]
Disc 1, Track 7 (9:16)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: A real bridge take. You can hear U2 take a song that wasn't working for
them and change it drastically to try and make something out of it. The change
was for a slower „less crowded“ sound which results in a bored sounding band.
Towards the end of the take you can hear the familiar „Zoo Station“-ish sounds
coming forth in bursts. At (5:31) Bono sings something that prompts Larry to
drum a little faster, this in turn has The Edge (around 6:40) changing his
guitar melody. It changes the whole sound quite a bit! At (7:00) Bono
re-introduces lyrics from the beginning of the song (why?), but soon calls out
„We're going into the F, going down to the F“ which brings them into some place
completely different. „E minor“ from Bono changes the sound of things even
further. It seems something happens on the spur of the moment that changes the
song more than the simple chord changes. At (7:37) things really start coming
together, so much as to prompt Bono to say (at 7:55) „That's really great stuff,
Larry Mullen.“ Further toying with the song ultimately wears them down, and at
(9:10) the steam runs out very suddenly.
WORDS:
„We got to, got to get it together ...“
„Oh, honey child, oh honey child, honey child.“
„I like when the hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-lights burning“
„I feel this love is getting higher“
Bono- „Chorus! Ah, la la got to get together now.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Ya got to get together now - stop! Two, three, four.“
Disc 1, Track 8 (5:37)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: The beginning sounds almost like a „remixed“ version of the song. U2 seem
to be taken by the idea of radically changing the songs in an effort to spur
creativity. There's a great deal of „production“ on this take, plenty of
assorted effects and sound loops. The vocals can be heard, but it is difficult
to understand much of what is being said. This songs later evolution into „Zoo
Station“ is most evident in this take, especially toward the end (i.e. the fuzzy
booming sound at 3:14). The familiar „Zoo Station“ loop of clanking bells can be
heard throughout the song.
WORDS:
„Well, you're high as a kite
Burning with all your might"
Disc 1, Track 9 (8:49)
FWT: Sunset In Colors
NOTES: A loose melody, mostly instrumental with a very bright sound. A very good
song consisting mainly of The Edge on lead guitar.
WORDS:
"Here comes the sunset, it comes in colors ...
Don't change it."
„I'm lost and I'm wasting all your time.
Here comes changes, coming all the time.“
Bono- "I still can't hear my voice. Can you turn it up? Yeah, nice ... A little
reverb ?“
[Editors note: On the Salome CD, the following track is erroneously indexed as
part of track 9 at (8:52). Therefore, what is discussed here as tracks 11 and
12, are indexed as tracks 10 and 11. For the purpose of these notes, the
indexing error has been ignored in an effort to correspond with corrected
pressings in the future.]
Disc 1, Track 10 (6:08)
FWT: Chances Away
NOTES: Demo sounding with only few words from Bono (though he seems to know the
music). Bono sings bits of „Take Your Down“, another song from these sessions.
This is an early form of „Until The End Of The World“. The familiar riff is
heard at the end of the choruses (indexed: 4:14, non-indexed:10:22)
WORDS:
"Don't hide away ... you've got to take your chances."
Bono- „Adam go around until you can hear the drums. You know the chords by now.
It's the same thing." [indexed: 3:16, non-indexed: 12:08] "Okay, it's the verse.
Okay, verse- one, two, three" [indexed: 5:20, non-indexed: 14:12]
Disc 1, Track 11 (1:40)
FWT: Chances Away
NOTES: Fades in for short while and then back out again. Odd. Perhaps there is
something in this short clip that U2 wanted to keep for future reference.
Disc 1, Track 12 (6:35)
FWT: I Feel Free
NOTES: Both Bono and The Edge sing vocals on this track, making it sound more
planned, rather than the brainstorming session we heard in „Chances Away“.
Almost immediately we hear the familiar riff from „Chances Away“, only this time
it is the basis of the song instead of the second half of the chorus. This is an
early form of „Until The End Of The World“.
WORDS:
"We shadow down, shadow down by the water"
"Don't lock me down, lock me down.
I feel free. I feel free.
And I Feel Free. I Feel Free."
"Iiiieeeee feeeeeeeeeeeel freeeeeeeeeeee yeeaahh!"
Disc 2, Track 1 (4:31)
FWT: I Feel Free
NOTES: A fantastic shriek from Bono at beginning. The „Until The End Of The
World“ guitar riff is the basis for the whole song. Vocals are mostly Bono, but
The Edge provides backup. This take is much more free-form than Disc 1, track
12. This is an early form of „Until The End Of The World“.
WORDS:
„Where did you go ?
Where did you go ?
I'd really like to know.“
„I ... I ... I ... feel free ...“
Disc 2, Track 2 (2:02)
FWT: Sweet Baby Jane
NOTES: Bono sings the first verse acapella (and stammers on a word) in a thick
"Bongloese". The Edge follows him with guitar, then they both join up.Adam comes
in later. No Drums.
WORDS:
(This was only attempted because the first verse is just Bono with no backing.)
„And I'll come in to say good-bye
Took in sergeant maims my b-bye
More than dreams and the bottom'll come
When she would encumber writing well"
(Good luck on further figuring out what he's singing)
"And if you catch me I'll take your time"
"Sweet baby Jane, sweet baby Jane.
Sweet baby Jane, sweet baby Jane."
"And if you call, I'll come running'
And if you ask, I will be given.
And if you need me, I will be here."
Disc 2, Track 3 (5:35)
FWT: Morning Child / Don't Turn Around
NOTES: This song is an early form of „Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses“. Bono
sings „sweet morning child“ a few times then later sings „don't turn around“ to
the same melody. Bono asks for lyrics! Bono tells Edge [4:17] "Say 'don't turn
around' over and over again." and The Edge creates instant backup vocals. The
audio cuts to silence for about one second at 4:48. When it returns Bono says,
"Try not to do that". At the end of the take Bono says "That all right mates?",
someone replies, "Yeah, that was real perfect."
WORDS:
"Baby sweet talking baby
Around..
Don't turn around and see
Don't turn around.
We're suffering the same.
Don't turn, we'll break."
"Don't turn around, don't turn around again"
"Don't turn ... Caledonia,
Caledonia, Caledonia ... Don't turn around"
Bono- "I don't know too many words"
"Is this the chorus?"
"It's the verse again?"
"This is the chorus, yeah ..."
"Sing 'don't turn around' over and again so I can keep singing" (and The Edge
sings backup)
Disc 2, Track 4 (4:00)
FWT: Morning Child / Don't Turn Around
NOTES: This song is an early form of „Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses“. In
this take you can really hear the acoustic guitar. The bridge here is similar to
how it turns out on the album (only better in my opinion; Bono barely sings at
all during this bridge). Bono starts singing "morning child" towards the end of
the take.
WORDS:
"No, don't ... ask why. Oh, no don't ask questions."
"Morning morning morning morning child.
Oh, lonely child."
Disc 2, Track 5 (5:09)
FWT: Morning Child / Don't Turn Around
Notes: This song is an early form of „Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses“. Bono
sings "don't say good-bye" several times in the same melody as he sings "morning
child" and "don't turn around". Bono goes for some vocal calisthenics toward the
end of the take.
WORDS:
"I've been down there, been down
I've been down, I've been down there ...
I've been down there, oh, I've been down there."
"Don't you turn around, don't turn around."
"Oh, in your eyes an angel dies
Love in the shadows and in December rain"
"Oh, don't say good-bye, don't say good-bye ..."
Disc 2, Track 6 (6:29)
FWT: Take Today
NOTES: Nice instrumental song with harmonica and horns.
Disc 2, Track 7 (4:51)
FWT: Even Better Than The Real Thing
NOTES: This is pretty much an instrumental version of "Even Better Than The Real
Thing". You can practically sing along with this one. The crescendo ending is
fantastic, much better than the commercial version.
Disc 2, Track 8 (7:44)
FWT: She's Gonna Turn Your Head Around
NOTES: This "version" sounds very little like what it later evolves/changes
into. The vocals have a heavy, plate sounding reverb. The audio is quieter than
other tracks. It fades out early. Bono sings "she's gonna take her chances,
gonna take her chances" to what will be the melody of "She's gonna turn your
head around" He also sings some other stuff to the same melody. Bono adlibs
though much of the song. Doesn't Larry ever get tired?
WORDS:
"How does it feel when you're letting go?"
"How does it fell when you're out of control?"
"Is anybody calling? Is anybody home? Is anybody Home?".
"I'm calling out for love. Is anybody home?"
"Sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane,"etc.
"Midnight is when the day begins. Midnight."
Bono: Sounds like a lot of improvisation here.
"Just drums." (2:55), the band cuts to just drums for a bit.
"Edge- dooh dooh dooh" (7:11) The Edge follows Bono's vocals with guitar.
"Doo doo dooo dooo dooo" (7:37)
Disc 2, Track 9 (7:38)
FWT: She's Gonna Turn Your Head Around
NOTES: There is now much less echo, more song structure, and a normal volume
level. The chorus, "she's gonna blow your house down, she's gonna turn your head
around, she's gonna blow your house down", is now consistent now. This take
KICKS!
WORDS:
"She's gonna blow your house down, she's gonna take your head off, she's gonna
take you down"
Bono -"Bridge! How does it feel when you've gone into the Bridge now? How does
it feel when you're in the Bridge? Bridge, in the bridge, in the bridge, and
Chorus! She's gonna blow your house down, take your head around, she's gonna
blow your house Down."
"Let's do the bridge again"
"Bridge. Dah, dah, dah, dah ... AND INTO THE CHORUS!"
Disc 2, Track 10 (5:33)
FWT: Back Mask U2
NOTES: This is an early form of "So Cruel". The connection becomes more evident
later on. There's plenty of percussion playing backwards behind the band. The
sound is slow and depressing. Bono mumbles through most of the song (a la "Elvis
Presley And America"). Toward the end it becomes mainly instrumental, although
at x:xx we hear a line we know from "So Cruel".
WORDS:
"And the day is dry.
And there's no water.
And you can't see the road ahead,
You can only see her."
"Woman ... Woman ..."
"A promise comes to this house,
Where no one can sleep."
Disc 2, Track 11 (7:41)
FWT: She's Gonna Turn Your Head Around
NOTES: Bono says "wake up!" a lot. The melody has changed a little bit. Bono
sings, "better wake up, better wake up tonight, better find a new plan, better
wake up tonight." to the melody of "She's Gonna Turn Your Head Around" chorus.
Bono sings in a very high pitched voice towards the end, "she's gonna blow your
house down, she's gonna turn your head around, she's gonna take you down". It's
as if he finally figured out the chorus!
WORDS:
"How does it feel when your head is full of soul?"
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
Bono - "Here comes the chorus" (0:27)
"Better wake up, wake up tonight. Better sing a new song ... so long." (4:29)
Disc 2, Track 12 (6:32)
FWT: Take Today
NOTES: This version has Bono singing, and The Edge doing backup. Sounds sort of
"family" like. The audio cuts to silence for about 1/10th of a second at 5:14.
Another drop out is heard at 6:28.
WORDS:
"And you know
And you know that's going to be all right
No one's gonna tear
No one's gonna tear us apart
Every summer
Every summer's gonna be all right
I'll come by
At July
Yeah, come by in July
Every summer."
"If you want to take tomorrow,
Then you've got to take today."
Bono -"You're on the air ... Okay, here we go ..." (0:14)
"... then you've got to seize the day." (4:23)
Disc 3, Track 1 (1:05)
FWT: Someone
NOTES: This is a short clip of a song that sounds like a jam session. Something
must be in this clip that U2 wanted to save for later development.
WORDS:
"And you're calling out to someone
You believe is in your heart"
Disc 3, Track 2 (3:11)
FWT: Back Mask U2
NOTES: This is an early form of "So Cruel". This is evident not only in the
percussion, but also in the general emotion of the song (specifically, the last
two lines of the take). One can really understand what Bono is singing!
WORDS:
"When the night turns mean on you
And the day is dry
And there's no water around
And you can't see the road ahead
You can only see her ...
White and alive
She's laughing in the face of love
Your love is white and alive
This is your last chance in my dreams
In my dreams she stands over me
Surrounded on all sides
She has taken the higher ground
And I'm the willing victim of her love
And faith my favorite drug
And faith my favorite drug
I'm sick for love
Sick for her love
Sick foods you sell
Just the sight of you makes me wobble
I can't see straight, walk or talk to anyone else
I can't even talk to you
White and alive
I'm laughing in the face of your face
White and alive
Sick for love
Sick for love
So, between the horses of love and lust
I'm trampled underfoot."
Disc 3, Track 3 (4:19)
FWT: Acrobat
NOTES: This song is "Acrobat" with slightly different words. It is the only song
that survived these sessions virtually unchanged. Bono sings "Don't let (X) take
you down", where X seems to be assorted different things, people, etc. It's hard
to actually pick any but a few out. A GREAT guitar solo from The Edge.
WORDS:
"Don't let them take you down."
"Don't let the teardrops grind you down."
"Don't let the tears take you down."
"And you know that you try and you try
To make it right, to make it so,
To make it sweet, they make it hard"
"How does it feel to be burned by the sun.“
Disc 3, Track 4 (5:56)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: The bass line (reminiscent of some Rolling Stones song) is the tell-tale
clue that reveals this to be an early form of „Zoo Station“. It's very difficult
to distinguish any lyrics.
WORDS:
"... and the shotgun?“
"We've got to get together now"
Disc 3, Track 5 (5:09)
FWT: Morning Child / Don't Turn Around
NOTES: Same take as the Disc 2, Track 5, except here the beginning has been
partially omitted.
Disc 3, Track 6 (5:16)
FWT: Take You Down
NOTES: This song is an early form of "Lady With The Spinning Head", which later
evolved into "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)". The guitar solo was used again in
"The Fly", and the bridge moved on to be used as the intro "Ultraviolet (Light
My Way)". Edge is NOT singing backup, it's Bono! The left and right channels are
different takes of Bono singing to the same backing music. Each channel sounds
quite different from the other, and the two only come together in one or two
places. The vocals are not completely isolated to the left or right channels. In
each channel you can faintly hear the other. During the guitar solo and bridge
you can only hear one vocal track (in both channels). Hendrix like solo, wow! A
frantic ending. This song rips! Much, MUCH better than the "Lady With The
Spinning Head".
WORDS:
RIGHT CHANNEL:
"Oh, wont you get it up and get
My heart in the sunlight"
"Going to the back light,
Going back to the way we were.
Ahh, hahh
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up dead man“
LEFT CHANNEL:
"They're trying to take you down"
"And out you call,
You want it so,
And out you call."
Bono -"I was singing a bit late in here"
(The band slows down for a bit.)
"I know sometimes you get it wrong,
You got to get it wrong,
Sometimes you get it wrong,
You take it anymore ..."
Disc 3, Track 7 (5:24)
FWT: Going Down South
NOTES: Instrumental. Sounds like some 'hillbilly' rock band. All that's missing
is someone on washbasin and whisky jug.
Disc 3, Track 8 (3:52)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: This is Bono screwing around with a 12-string guitar while the backing of
"Salome" (Disc 3, Track 4) is playing. He is presumably trying to work out
something, but God only knows what. This take becomes truly annoying to the
listener after a couple of minutes (then again it was never meant to be LISTENED
to). The plucking of strings from the 12-string can be heard, while in later
takes, you hear strumming and chord progressions.
Disc 3, Track 9 (13:08)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: More Guitar overdubbing amounts to 13 minutes of an idea being pounded to
death from an assortment of angles with plenty of reverb.
Disc 3, Track 10 (6:03)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: Oh God! More guitar overdubbing, although this time it seems more 'idea
oriented'. U2 should be given credit for being a great band, but the process of
creating a song via this method is about as pleasant as giving yourself a root
canal.
Disc 3, Track 11 (8:05)
FWT: Salome
NOTES: The take starts with someone announcing: "Bono, 12 string...take 2". Not
much progress here. It seems like someone is toying with the mix during this
take. By the end of the track, the vocals and guitar are turned down so as to
make the 12 string, percussion, and bass more prominent.

If you have any questions, comments, etc. please feel free to contact me via
email at „sira-vista@home.net“. However, I would like to emphasize that I cannot
supply you with nor adivse you on how to locate copies of the Achtung Baby
working tapes (ie the Salome 3-CD set), I'm not in a position to be able to do
that.

BONO ON BOOTLEGS:
"The only thing that can piss you off is if people are charging a lot of money
for something that isn't very good. It [the Achtung Baby working tapes] got
bootlegged in Berlin and it was just like having your notebook read out. That's
the bit I didn't like about it. There were no undiscovered works of genius,
unfortunately, it was more just gobbledy-gook..." But he admits going out and
buying a copy of that bootleg anyway!

Comments:
This is a good CD to have if you aren't fortunate enough to own the 3CD SALOME
set. Tracks 1 -11 are the "best of" (as chosen by the bootlegger) the demos made
in Germany in 1991. An extra bonus are the great live versions of "Pride (In The
Name Of Love)," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," and "Bad." Tracks 1-11 are studio
recordings, but Tracks 12-14 are from the Self Aid radio broadcast.

Excellent studio.
Comments:
This would be yet another version of the infamous stolen "'Achtung Baby' Working
Tapes" from the Hansa Studios sessions. The songs are complete with an
occasional pause in lyrics as Bono is giving out directions. Some songs are a
bit softer than others and some of the levels could have been raised, however it
is an excellent CD. It has excellent sound and I recommend it if you don't
already have a similar bootleg. There is also a hidden 12th track on the disc as
well. The only problem I had with the disc is that the track listing is wrong a
few times on the back cover. Also, there is some weird pause on the first track
near the end. This pause is too long to be a skip, so I guess it was on the
original stolen tapes. The front cover of the CD is in 'Achtung Baby' style - a
bunch of different pictures all thrown together. On the inside of the cover,
there is an essay by Mr. N.M. Whiskers about how this particular CD first came
about. This "essay" was mostly lifted from the "Pseudo-Official Salome Liner
Notes." The music on this CD is an interesting look into how U2 creates their
albums and what goes into them and what doesn't. I would recommend it to a U2
completist more than an average fan. The cover features a 2-panel insert and
tray card. Trevor M. L. Contributed to this review. There are two completely
different versions of this CD. Nothing new here, but a trimming down of SALOME
to a listenable length. If you haven't already plunked down for the 3CD version
of this material, this single disc is a far more pleasant listening experience.
Color cover. The CD itself is purple. It says "Front Row Center" across the top
and "Not For Sale" on the bottom. It also has "Budweiser Entertainment" and "For
Radio Play Only" printed on it. One odd thing is that it also says Disc Two. The
small text at the bottom of the disc says "This broadcast is for one time use by
stations cleared by the FRC on the designated date and time prearranged in
writing. This disc is the property of the FRC and must be returned after use."
The music itself is quite interesting. The songs on this CD represent a good
cross-section of the music and ideas that the band had at this stage of the
recording process. Although the majority of the songs are quite dissimilar to
the ones that actually made it onto 'Achtung Baby,' there are a handful of
obvious passages that can be found on the final album. Track 1 is the basis for
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." It has a similar bass line and the chorus
is the same "turn around" part that is found on the final song. Track 2 contains
the main guitar passage from "Until The End Of the World." Track 3 is taken from
the song "She's Gonna Blow Your House Down," found on the 'Rattle And Hum' video
outtakes. This version is plugged and way more upbeat. It also shares some of
the lyrics which Bono sings in the same broken style. Track 4 is a slow song.
There are no direct similarities to any song on 'Achtung Baby.' Track 5 also
shares the main guitar passage from "Until The End Of The World" but it is very
different from Track 2. Track 6 is almost the exact same music as Track 3, but
with different lyrics. Track 7 is a slower song that contains some horns, piano,
and harmonica. It has no direct similarities to any song on 'Achtung Baby.'
Track 8 very closely resembles the finished song released on the album. It has
the same drum track and lyric melody as the finished "Acrobat," only with
different lyrics. Track 9 is a slower song with a very strong vocal presence by
Bono. There are no similarities to any song on the final album. Track 10 is an
instrumental. The guitar passages very closely resemble those in the final song.
On Track 11, the music is extremely close to that of "Lady With the Spinning
Head." In this song, you'll also find the guitar solo from "The Fly" and the
intro lyrics to "Ultraviolet." Track 12 is the longest song on the CD. It is
mostly instrumental, with 3 short verses near the end. This song does not
contain anything obvious that made it to the final album.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comments:
Deluxe color cover, with many beautiful pictures. Picture CD. This is another
condensed version of the SALOME sessions. It looks very professional, with many
good pictures, and some kind of "Island" logo in the back of the jewel case
itself. All of the song titles are creations of bootleggers (the true titles are
unknown). The titles are entirely arbitrary, of course, and some of these tracks
have been called other things on other boots. All of these tracks (an many more)
appear on Jewels' SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES. High quality sound! All
tracks are start with a "fade-in." "For Promotional Use only, Not for sale." is
printed on the picture CD itself. The following (which was mostly lifted from
the "Pseudo-Official Salome Liner Notes") is printed inside the CD jacket: "In
the winter of 1990, U2 were hard at work in Hansa Ton's 44-track Recording
Studio-2 in Berlin, Germany. The ultimate result of this effort would be the
November 1991 release of their next album 'Achtung Baby.' However, in December
1990, that album was a great way off, because U2, unlike most other bands,
entered the studio with very few lyric or song ideas. Instead, U2 came into the
studio to create as well as record. Here they sought inspirations for songs from
playing together. They would "etch out" ideas while improvising around some
basic idea, or riff. Since all this "jamming" was taking place in a recording
studio, even the simplest of ideas was captured on tape. The highlights of these
tapes were then edited down and compiled into "working tapes" recorded onto DAT.
Tapes of this nature were used to hold possible song ideas, as well as a means
for Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois to hear the band's progress and make suggestions
about the music. In April 1991, it was announced that such tapes had found their
way into the hands of bootleggers. Since then, the "working tapes" have been
pressed in a variety of forms. U2's manager Paul McGuiness reacted to the
bootlegs by releasing a press statement accusing the bootleggers of cheating the
fans by passing off inferior material. He also stated that the finished product
had evolved by leaps and bounds from what was being illegally circulated.
Regardless of the superior polish of the finished material released as 'Achtung
Baby', the material found on the illegal releases is fascinating in and of
itself. The most compelling aspect about the rough mixed material is that,
rather than offering slightly alternative versions of tracks found on the
finished record, they instead reveal the songwriting process itself and there is
also a host of interesting songs that didn't find their way onto 'Achtung Baby.'
Island Records now proudly presents the essential unreleased material from these
"working tapes" on this promotional CD to give our regards to all those who
helped to promote U2 past the last years." Unless this is EXTREMELY cheap, I'd
skip this one if I were you, and save up for the complete 3CD SALOME THE [AXTUNG
BEIBI] OUTTAKES from Jewels. There are two completely different versions of this
CD. Nothing new here, but a trimming down of SALOME to a listenable length. If
you haven't already plunked down for the 3CD version of this material, this
single disc is a far more pleasant listening experience.
[TF] There are three different versions of this one. The original release has
blue/white label printing and excellent cover printing. The 2 other releases,
which are copies of the first one, have just blue labels and you can hardly read
them. The cover printing is not as good as of the original release, as these are
scans of the original one.
This is the original pressing on this label.

This is another condensed version of the SALOME sessions, featuring complete
songs instead of fragments. The titles are entirely arbitrary, of course, and
some of these tracks have been called other things on other boots. I'm a bit
baffled by this CD because a friend and I each got a copy at a local record
convention some time back, and I've never ever seen or heard of it since. I even
wonder if the people selling it may have produced it. The above titles and
censoring are theirs, not mine.

Comments:
This seems to be a Korean-produced version of the SALOME outtakes. This set is
not mastered directly from the original DAT tapes, though. The titles I have
used here match those found in the Salome "pseudo liner notes" (I'm not sure of
the author of that document, but it can be found at several U2 WWW sites. Quite
interesting.). Many of these songs are early versions of 'Achtung Baby' tracks,
while others are unique and unreleased songs or musical "ideas". The material is
somewhat repetitive (nine versions of Salome), but provides interesting insight
into the development and evolution of the songs. I don't know of any bootlegged
'Achtung Baby' session material which does not appear on this recording.

Comments:
This infamous bootleg of the 'Achtung Baby' sessions. Unlike the majority of the
numerous other CD pressings of this material, this was mastered directly from
the DAT's that U2 produced as working tapes during the recording sessions. As
such, the recording quality is outstanding. The titles I have used here match
those found in the Salome "pseudo liner notes" (I'm not sure of the author of
that document, but it can be found at several U2 WWW sites. Quite interesting.).
Many of these songs are early versions of 'Achtung Baby' tracks, while others
are unique and unreleased songs or musical "ideas". The material is somewhat
repetitive (nine versions of Salome), but provides interesting insight into the
development and evolution of the songs. I don't know of any bootlegged 'Achtung
Baby' session material which does not appear on this recording. Earlier
pressings have Tracks 9 and 10 on Disc 1 indexed together. There are no titles
anywhere on the packaging. The back cover simply lists the length of each track.
Discs 1 and 2 are listed as having only 11 tracks each.

Comments:
This 6CD set is a must for any U2 collection. Contained within, almost 7 hours
of 'Achtung Baby' demos and rare tracks. Part 1 is 3CD's-worth of the
"lengendary" lost demos from 'Achtung Baby', recorded in Dublin during mid-1990.
Hear U2's original studio demos for 'Achtung Baby' favorites, such as: "Who's
Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", "The Fly", and "Even Better Than The Real Thing".
Also non-LP tracks, such as: "Lady With The Spinning Head", "Where Did All Go
Wrong" and no less than 23 takes of "Salome" [see below for details], many
incomplete and rough "first run-through" versions and some more reminiscent of
the finally-released version. More importantly, however, at least another 5-10
songs from these sessions wich have still yet to appear in any other shape or
form, most in their near completed stage. Part 2 of this set is 3CD's-worth of
remixes and rare tracks from this all-important period. Featured are all the
extended dance mixes of all the singles released, and many rare tracks, also.
Some brilliantly-clever U2 medleys complete this set. So sit back and enjoy what
most critics and fans would have to agree is not only the band's most important
and musically diverse period, but undoubtably the band's best. Also included is
a 28-page full-color booklet (11"x 11"), containing many rare photos, stories,
and fantastic reproductions of some of the different "Achtung Baby" album
covers. This set comes in a gold-colored flat tin, with "U2: Sessions" embossed
on the front. This is like sitting in with the band as they reinvented and
created their new sound. The outtakes seem so personal, almost as if you
"borrowed" their diary. The remixes and "rare tracks" are pure U2, that make the
originals seem like different songs. I would give it an "A+++". The discs claim
to be "24kt gold-plated, Computer Enhanced-Digitally Remastered" (whatever that
means). This set might also go by the name of THE ACHTUNG BABY OUTTAKES, REMIXES
AND RARE TRACKS. This is supposedly a limited-edition of 1.000 copies. This is a
UK bootleg.
[Note: All of the song titles for Disc 1-3 correspond to the "Fan Working
Titles" (FWT) for the 'Salome' Liner Notes (included with the Chronological
Version of this guide). The actual titles will never really be known for sure,
and the titles listed on this particular bootleg will be different than the
titles listed above (for Discs 1-3 only). Disc 1 consists of 23 snippets
(tracks) of the 9 original actual takes which can be found spread over the
original 3CD SALOME - THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES, from Jewels Records. So,
although Disc 1 is indexed for 23 tracks, there are actually only 9 takes of the
song "Salome" on Disc 1.]

Comments:
All of the song titles are creations of bootleggers (the true titles are
unknown). All of these tracks appear on SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES in
much better sound quality. By the way, Track 2 has got nothing to do with "Even
Better Than The Real Thing", it is a demo of "Salome".

on SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES. By the way, Track 2 has got nothing to do
with "Even Better Than The Real Thing", it is a demo of "Salome".

Sound Quality:
Excellent studio. There are several sound "lulls" in spots where the guy
recording it may have dropped off on Bono's microphone. The sound is excellent
even if some of Bono's lyrics leave something to be desired.
Comments:
These songs are predecessors to those on 'Achtung Baby'. This CD came with 2
identical paper "cover" discs that are CD size. The front cover has Bono
flashing a "peace" sign while the entire band boards an airplane. The back cover
has Bono with a cigarette in his mouth while the other members are standing
around. Good CD and well worth what I paid for it. It's fun to see how the songs
evolved before 'Achtung Baby'. All of these tracks appear on SALOME THE [AXTUNG
BEIBI] OUTTAKES.

Comments:
This is sort of a "best of" the 'Achtung Baby' outtakes with certain songs given
actual titles. You can hear many Zoo-like riffs on each song. It's too bad these
tapes were stolen because a lot of these songs could have been polished and
released as B-Sides on the 'Achtung Baby' singles. Of course, you can find these
in their entirety on the 3CD set, SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES.
This is the original pressing on this label.
