Sound Quality: Excellent audience. Comments: review taken from "Steve's Concert Trading Page", run by Steve Vahey: This is my remastered version of the U2 AND THE NEW VOICES OF FREEDOM show that I received from Justin Cook. I remixed the audio a bit, increased the level to saturated (without clipping), isolated and removed some low level background noise (most likely recording deck noise), and blended out 3 or 4 abrupt breaks in the recording (where the cassettes were flipped, etc.). Fades were added to the front and back ends of each disc. I also removed a repeating clicking noise that can be heard on the original Disc 2 between the marks of 29:05 and 55:24 (from "With or Without You" to "40"). There was a break in the original recording at the 29:05 mark, so this must have been where Cassette 2 was flipped. Apparently only Cassette 2, Side B suffered from the clicking noise, because it can't be heard anywhere else in the original recording. The clicking has been removed and can no longer be heard in the remastered version. The clarity in areas of Disc 1, track 1 ("Where Streets Have No Name") is not as good as the rest of the show. The taper was apparently either still moving into position or still getting set up and didn't have the mics as high. After track 1, the clarity is consistently excellent throughout the rest of the show. The track lengths on the remastered version are slightly different than on the original set because I put together new cuesheets with different index points. All track transitions are seamless with no audible indication of track changes. I also eliminated the index point at track 11 of disc 1 because it was unnecessary. This is one of the best Joshua Tree audience recordings in my collection. And it's a great show, including rare performances of "ISHFWILF" with the New Voices of Freedom (Edge and Adam watch from the sidelines on this one) and "Spanish Eyes". This is a definite must-have. I wish all audience recordings were this awesome! RECORDING INFORMATION Conversion: master cassette > DAT > 4th generation CD-R > Digital Sound Processing (by S. Vahey; see above) > CD-R | |
