He talks about the way success has and will affect U2. Recorded from the radio when originally aired. For some reason I think there is a video to go with it, but I'm not sure why I have that idea. The date could be 1983. shared by john52il/June 2010 U2torrents.com: Torrent 6636 (by john52il) Comment: (by drccds) This was first broadcast the week of September 5th, 1983 and then again the week of December 26th, 1983. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 03: Lineage: tape (unknown analog generation) > Yamaha KX-500 deck > Soundforge 9.0 > CD Wave Editor > wav. > FLAC I did not split the interview in tracks. There are a few glitches (4.16, 10:28 and 13:40) which might be caused due to commercials (I don't think there is missing anything). They talked about: - MTV, U2 videos, - filming the "Gloria" promo video at the Dublin docks, - U2 not being a political group, - Bruce Springsteen (mutual respect and spirit but different music), - U2's audiences in Japan, - Island Records and Chris Blackwell, - use of synthesizers ("humanizing technology"), - U2's motivation to start the band, - Steve Lillywhite, - U2's forthcoming change in musical direction after three albums with Steve Lillywhite, - contrast between USA and Japan. There is hiss on the recording. The quality is still okay.
