Known Faults:
- Stand By Me: 38 seconds at beginning patched
- Bad: 27 seconds end of main song patched before reprise

This is the fourth known source taken from a 2nd generation tape for the Cologne stop on the "Joshua Tree Tour". Other identified sources are:
1) Aiwa Master
2) Missing "Stand By Me"
3) D3 1st Gen

There may be other sources/versions that circulate but these are ones I have tracked down and all are very good to excellent, this source is no exception and another excellent quality capture on what sounds to be high end gear. Both this source and the source used to patch it (1) ran fast and have been pitch adjusted (-55 cents & -63 cents respectively) along with all the usual clean up, channels aligned, de-clicked, etc. All indications are it was a rowdy night and you can hear much of that rowdiness on this capture. I have painstakingly extracted the vast majority of the up close audience noise. The show contains a unique "Bad Reprise", when the crowd starts singing again after the main song ends, Bono joins in followed by the band. According to U2gigs.com: "A second concert at this venue was scheduled for the next day but does not take place. Due to overly bureaucratic procedures by the promoter, tension develops over tickets and thousands are stuck in rain-drenched queues outside even as the support acts play. They are ultimately let in but the atmosphere is poor when U2 take the stage." Samples and artwork provided...thanks to MR for supplying the file... mjk5510
