personal remarks: 
This is the final, unreleased master of my U2 recordings, and also the first recording I ever made of U2. The recording has not been previously released, and I made and shared two copies of it in 2001 (one copy was sent to Germany and the other to Australia). It has been stored on my hard drive ever since. Unfortunately, the recording is flawed. The first mistake was to use only the pop version of the OKMII mics, which resulted in a distorted bass. The first nine songs also sounded as though they were coming through a wall, but from track 11 on the mics were positioned correctly.I would advise you to start with track 16 when listening for the first time.I would like to thank everyone who made the trip to London possible. I would also like to express my gratitude to U2, who have been a constant influence in my life since 1983, through both good and bad times.

Comments:
Excellent show, nothing more I could say. Unfortunately the speech before "11 O'Clock" was cut due to a disc flip. The recording sounds quite good, but there are some imperfections: The first nine tracks suffer from a somewhat muffeled sound due to mics not beeing in the right position. The whole recording gets a bit destroyed by some distortion especially in the very low frequencies what makes the whole sound vibrating at times. It was recorded a few rows away from the stage so you don't have individuals singing and screaming, the whole audience sound and the overall atmosphere on the floor was captured quite well with this recording.
