Hershey, PA. Hershey Stadium. Soundcheck. Sound Quality: Good audience. Recorded outside the stadium. Comments: This is a very interesting CD. While the sound is pretty bad, there is a lot of improvisation from U2 on this disc. The most noteworthy tracks on this disc are "Acrobat" and "So Cruel". This might even be the only disc with live versions of "Acrobat" on it, as U2 never performed it in concert, only at the Hershey soundchecks. It is worth a listen. U2 tries everything from reggae to country on this disc, and it's a real shame that this is an audience recording, rather than a soundboard or DAT. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this disc, as I got mine for $8 at a record show, only after getting a copy on tape. I liked what I heard, and I figured that $8 would not kill me. Everyone should at least find a copy of this on tape, it's cool. This is the original pressing on this label. © 1999 "For Love Or Money ? - A Guide To U2 Bootleg CDs" and Sascha Kremer |
