Notes:
The show was advertised to start at 8 PM but was delayed to about 9:15 PM to accomodate the fans who were still stuck in traffic somewhere, getting to the parking lots & in the long-ass lines to get into the arena!

I was in UBB Regular (Sec, 409), about 45 degrees to the right of the stage up high in the nosebleeds! It's 'free seating' (unreserved) & I don't remember what row I was in, hehe.

I flew in from Los Angeles to witness and document history! Seeing my 'kababayans' (countrymen) getting wild & screaming loud to the opening drumbeats of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" gave me the goosebumps as if it was my first time too, to see U2 live! It was just one historical event! Definitely up there along with boxing's 'Thrilla In Manila"

Taper's notes:
I've mistakenly set the mic gain too high thus PA intro music & the first song were loud & may have clipped. I decreased the levels as I was recording. I rate this recording a "Very Good" only
