Sound quality: Excellent soundboard. Outstanding mix as well! Comments: © "FLOM - A Guide To U2 Bootleg CDs" / Sascha Kremer: B. B. King appears on Disc 2, Tracks 3-5. The first track on Disc 1 is The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil", playing over the PA system, while the crowd await U2 to take the stage. X-MAS AT THE POINT DEPOT is the most complete recording of the December 26, 1989 concert. It contains all of the tracks on every other December 26, 1989 concert listed in FLOM, as well as "Love Rescue Me" and the "Intro" ("Sympathy For The Devil"). Of some interest is the fact that Bono makes mention of the recent death of Samuel Beckett (a native Dubliner who left the country and wrote, among other things, 'Waiting For Godot' and 'Endgame',) before "Love Rescue Me". During another track, he quickly recites some poetry, presumably by Beckett, as well. At 1:59 on track 2, Disc 1 ("God Part II") a fair amount of distortion/feedback can be heard and lasts until approximately 2:00/2:01. This recording is not flawless. Also, there seems the be a sound/source dropoff during the beginning of "Bullet the Blue Sky". RECORDING INFORMATION Conversion: original silver CDs > EAC > [ .SHN ] | |
