Notes:

Track 01:

Lineage:
audience recording on a telephone > analog copy, unknown generation > Yamaha KX-500 deck > Soundforge 9.0 > CD Wave Editor > wav. > FLAC

Notes:
Adam was interviewed by a man and a woman. The interview was recorded through the phone. The sound quality is not good. They talked about:
- U2's lyrics and messages live and on record,
- the importance of videos,
- direction and differences between the first three albums,
- fourth album with Brian Eno will be different,
- honest performance on stage,
- advice for a band to become succesful,
- other interesting bands.

They probably talked about more but this is what I understood on my headphones.
