Comments:
Note: This is a 16/44.1 file set, which can be burned directly to CD. A 24-bit, high-fidelity version has been posted separately. The recording is seamless; the disc breaks above are merely a suggestion.
The second of five nights in Chicago; significantly different setlist from the prior night and a very passionate performance. Bono frequently shook his head in amazement at the reaction the band was getting from the audience, and he clearly felt it was a special show.
Recording quality is pretty good; I got as far to the side as I could to capture as much of the overhead PA as possible - the recording came out better than I expected, though there is occasional chatter from neighbors and passersby on the floor. I haven't listened through the whole thing yet, but I didn't notice anything that was disruptive enough to get in the way of enjoyment of the music.
Anyone who would like to remaster, de-clap, etc. this recording and repost it is welcome to do so; in the info file, please document the original source and what you did. Mp3 samples are included in the comments.
