Taper: nowurtalkin (Jeff Silverberg)
Artwork/audio production: Jeff Topping

This is a remaster of the previous release back in 2010. Jeff Silverberg acquired some new gear and software, and with a little encouragement and persistence was able to transfer the master audio cassette with far better sound quality than the previous version. I╒m sure you will enjoy this show even more now. A real treasure. The audience was only about 500 people I've been told, so it helps the sound quality throughout. It starts rough as most audience tapes do, but certainly gets sweeter as the set progresses.It gets better... 

How could the miracle finding of a 31 year old Master recording of a U2 War Tour show get any better??? A properly digitized transfer turned this recording from good to GREAT!
