1. Hey all,

    I just downloaded ' 1997-08-23 - London IEM' from U2Torrents (http://u2torrents.com/torrents-details.php?id=4323). U2Start currently hosts a 2 star audience. I listened to U2Torrents version and its definetely an improvement. However it misses the last three songs. They have been replaced by performances of the night before (22-08-1997; also IEM/SBD) source.

    There is no clicktrack and its pretty clean. During some songs there is some noise but it certainly is an upgrade

    Will upload a lossless version and a version encoded with V2 preset on LAME 3.98.2.

    Comments:

    Excellent IEM recording, with a better balance and cleanness than the standard of the IEM
    tapes. This one sounds really full and solid, so the performance is quite enjoyable. Mofo
    begins with a bit of kick-drum distortion, but levels are quickly set back to normal. The
    tape is incomplete,Mysterious Ways, One and Unchained Melody are missing. However, the set
    has been completed with tracks 10 to 13, recorded the night before in this same venue
    (the source is an IEM)too,i hope to see someday both complete iem´s if there is!

    Disc 1 & 2(1-9): London, August 23, 1997 IEM
    Disc 2(10-12): London, August 22, 1997 IEM

    Enjoy,trade but never sell it!


    Hope you like it!

  2. thank you very very much

  5. Damnit, I thought this was the Leeds gig. Fuck no. But I think it will be great anyway to hear this. Thanks
  6. Nice stuff Risto!!!
    thanks a lot for sharing!!!


  7. Unfortunately this is not a new source from Leeds. But still pretty good
  8. Thanks
  9. Thanks, added to our bootleg pages
  10. Thanks a lot for this one!

    Any chance anyone could rip this one into MP3's in higher bitrate (I would do it myself but unfortunately I am an computer idiot)

    thanks in advance and cheers to all
  11. Day after I was there. Excellent.

    Thank you.

    Does that mean we can hope for a soundboard of the 22nd in its entirety? That would make my month.
  12. About the bitrate, it seems a bit low. I used the V2 preset which should provide a VBR MP3 with a bitrate between 160-210 Kbps. But these files have a lower bitrate. This might be a bug in LAME encoder or with the quality of the lossless files. However I will try to recode them tomorrow
