Almost Fully Complete (Last Track - "40" only approx 60 secs long)
Analogue Soundboard Recording
Maxell UDI90 - Sony Micro HiFi - SoundBlaster Live Platnium - PC - WAVfile
WAV file edited to chop off non relevant parts at start & end
Volume brought up
Hiss Reduction gently applied - Its still a bit hissy, but I didn't want to apply too much noise reduction
as it would have destroyed too much top end.
No Eq was applied to the recording, no frequencies were enhanced - just some mild hiss filteing
Wav file split into individual tracks for 2 CDs etc..
Fades added to relevant tracks at start & end of them so they'd suit 2 CDs
Wav converted to FLAC (Level6)

"40"
I received this tape the on Feb 27th 1988. I hadn't though about it much at the time as I wasn't very
familiar with U2 & this tape , along with the Montreal one, were the ones that gave me my initiaion to the
band & their music. I was given the tape by a close friend at college, told it was a 'special' tape &
asked to keep it to myself, which I've done for approx 19 years.
I recently came across this tape again during the midst of a 'clear out' of my attic at home.
I hope you all enjoy this recording. Please bear in mind its far from perfect, its an old analogue
recording that was thrown in an attic & is approx 19 years old etc.etc etc Saying that, I've spent some
time trying to digitally clean it up as much as I could without emphasizing any frequencies, adding any
digital artifacts or masking out what's left of the higher frequencies. I've used some 'gentle' hiss
reduction to try ensure as much of the music takes prominence but I chose not to over do it. Its still a
little hissy as you might expect but I think people might like it.
There is a small amount of vocal repitition on Bono's mic for the first 3 songs - approx 12mins total
duration. I guess its some effects processig or delay to the PA towers being adjusted as the concert
starts. The tape was almost complete, the last track "40" is only approx 60secs long. There are also some
very small edits on the tape that I did not make myself - it was that way when given to me. This is a live
soundboard so you might hear some imbalances in the soundmix, bonos vocal effects switching on or being
changed & since its not heavily compressed - watch out for Larry on occasion (some parts of Bad!)
Feel free to share this with others but don't attempt to charge anyone for it, don't ebay it etc..Please
only convert to MP3 if using for your own ipod, zen, personal device etc..
