    Remaster notes:
    "Somehow these ZOOM devices make great recordings with U2's new sound system.
    And although this particular one had its flavor slightly hidden under the surface,
    I think this one too is a nice example and I hope to "show" this to you by sharing this remaster."

    I think I do not compromise taper's whishes* by distributing this REMASTER as mp3 only
    and so to avoid confusion with the "real" thing.

    *Original Notes [u22utoo]:
    "Do not buy or sell. Trade freely. Only convert to lossy format for personal use."
  2. Samples:
    Vertigo[sample] [1.81 MB]
    Volcano[sample] [1.85]

    PS: So I'm off for a week-long vacation - to see if it really is

    PS2: if one prefers unsplited mp3's for seamless playback, download them here.* (scroll to the bottom of the page and click "download")

    *contains 3 files: "act one", "act two" & "encore."

    Thank You!
  5. Does any one know if the Denver 1st night is on audio
  6. Does remastered for iPOD, mean that this remaster can only played on Apple equipment?
  7. No. If it's mp3, then you can play it anywhere. If it's m4a (apple format) you still can play it on a lot of players and devices or could easily convert it...

    Btw do we have first 5 stars bootleg of the tour? Haven't checked it yet...
    Thanks anyway
  8. Ok. Thanks for your info.

    LA2 of Bedoc is 4,5 stars.

    But there are many good recordings so far.
  9. Thanks for the show and also...


    Thank you!!!!

    And while I like to have an album called "IE Tour" and each track named "1. Vancouver I", "2. Vancouver II", "3. San José I" and so on, lately I've been also splitting the shows into acts like you did it in here, which I've found also very convenient: I get whole sets of songs while still being easily accessible.

    So far I've tried:
    *1 track. (1-24)
    *3 tracks -like you did it in here- (1-10, 11-21, 22-24), and
    *6 to 8 tracks (1-4, 5-7, 8-10, 11-13/14-15, 16-18/19-21, 22-24)
    Any of those options I prefer them to splitted track by track, so thanks for the option!
  10. Thanks Joyce! Your remaster is now in our pages. Enjoy your vacations!
  11. Thanks Cesar!

    @BR: the split in 3 files is mostly for practical reasons The old iPOD that is in our car doesn't know gapless playback - and I hate it when live concerts are unnaturally interrupted! - so that's why I make these long files. The fades are applied where they seem most natural. But yes, it is relatively convinient to play an act 1 from show "a" and an act 2 from show "b".

    PS: apperently the photo used for the art is from Denver 1 (whoops!)... Need to correct that when I'm back (there is wifi here but no photoshop!)

    Yes, usually listening bootlegs in a smartphone, so yes that's my original reason to do that (and now I'm also using an audiobook app instead of a plain music player, so I can use bookmarks in every song, this way I get less files, no skips and still each song located separately).

    The other thing is that I really hate fades ... reversing those are what takes me more time (and every once in a while there's a bootleg where it's impossible to fix it)
