  1. That Denver rehearsal/private show has a nice version of AIWIY.
  2. Are you sure those 80s bootlegs are not fake? We had one for 83/11/29, but it was removed for belonging to other show. There are many fake bootlegs from the Australian Skies leg.
  3. What's the source on the Denver private show? Was kicking myself being stuck at the airport when that was going on and couldn't cover it. Got the private Special Olympics show in 2015 at least.

  5. This is for the private special Olympics show? Or the full stadium show the next night.

    I think there was only 300 people for the private show, and they were all on the floor by stage.
  6. The Japan '83 shows are a complicated thing.

    The confusion about the Japan '83 shows started long ago when some trader misread "November 23" as "November 28." This mistake, then, was copied over and over again and resulting finally in doubting the original info that was noted down from reports at the time.

    Luckily we still have the original Japan 83 tour itinerary (in Japanese, but translations can easily be verified):


    and a scan from a vintage traders list, displaying indeed the November 28 date:


    But, as the Japan 83 tour itinerary shows, on November 28 there was no concert held (as also Pimm Jal De La Parra's U2 Live: A Concert Documentary notes). This added to the fact that a copy of the November 23 tape exactly matches the setlist that was reported from Nagoya (November 23). And, indeed, no show on the 23rd is on the vintage trading list.

    A simple misreading of a "3" as an "8" would explain the whole confusion.

    But what do we know about the Tokyo November 29 and November 30 show? For a fact there is only one recording that could be either one of these dates. This recording starts with "Gloria". The common assumption is that this recording is from the 30th, as Bono says "This is the last show in your country, Japan" (after A Day Without Me). However, the famous U2 live chronicler Pimm Jal de la Parra died in 2002 has in fact the "Gloria" setlist dated as November 29 (at the Kosei Nenkin Hall (東京厚生年金会館), according to Pimm Jal and, as I understand correctly, also according to the original tour itinerary).

    The November 30th show took place at the Nakano Sun Plaza (中野サンプラザ), but the vintage trading list has the November 30th show at the Dome in Seto, which is in Nagoya (名古屋市, Nagoya-shi) and Nagoya was on the 23rd.

    What makes it all the more confusing is that someone back in the day made artwork for the "Tokyo 3rd Night", incorrectly dated as the 28th as we now know. And we also know that this is the recording from the 23rd in Nagoya (with Midnight Hour snippet in Surrender).


    But as the artwork said Tokyo 3rd night, at some point it was dated as the 29th (which is correct according to the itinerary: 3rd show in Tokyo = 11/29).

    So that is why now and again a recording appears with the November 29th date - but this is in truth the recording from Nagoya at the 23rd.
  7. Not sure where to post this but here is a matrix i made of the Hannover show using the IEM and AUD sources. I have made a few more if you want me to share them.
  8. How are you doing your matrix? Software, time alignment, etc.? I hear some alignment issues that start partway through the song.

    I used adobe audition. I had to change the speed of the recordings for them to sync well. I don't hear any problems with it so that's weird.
  10. If you're interested in doing matrixes and sound editing, PM me and let's talk shop. I've been doing stuff like this for way too long.
  11. @UnderARedSky, it does sound promising indeed, but matrix mixing is a subject on it's own.
    I did one on-line "summer school" @hoserama's a few years ago and it is really rewarding

    This man is the leading expert in the field of matrix mixing (and beyond!), so this is an opportunity
    you would really hate to miss!
  12. Here's the 1992-04-13 show that I recently digitized. This show is unfortunately incomplete. As for every show that I upload, I do not unfortunately have any info on sources and such.
