This is a fresh transfer from the master PCM Beta tapes. Here is the history of this recording. When U2 announced they were playing we planned on going Saturday the 14th and had a friend rent us a pair of Schoeps mics from Gassar Sound in SF.
They asked him where his studio was located and he gave the address of his protography studio since center field at the Oakland Coliseum would not have worked. The mics cost $75 for the weekend and were due back Monday. We had help bringing in about 60 lbs of gear and found our spot. The crowd during the opening act was unruly. At one point I was kicked in the face by a chick in combat boots trying to get through the crowd. We had to retreat and missed the opener. We went back for U2 and this is the recording. We had the mics on a stand at head height and did our best to guard the gear. There are moments of some crazy crowd interactions inscluding a woman screaming into the mics during Bad"This is a concert" when we tried to move her past the gear. At the end of the show we were relieved to have made it out in one piece. We went back to listen after the show and the first intro and first song had crackling and dropouts due to a damaged cable. We took the recording out boxed it up and decided to go the second night which is the recording everyone knows. The master tapes sat boxed up for close to 20 years. I found the tapes and was in the mood to torture myself by listening to it. To my surprise after the first song and a half there cables didn't crackle and there were no dropouts except between the encores and one or two other spots for a second or two. While not nearly as great a recording as night two, it still sounds damn pretty good and if all epic fails could sound like this I would be happy. Slightly different set and worth a liste Given U2 is touring 27 years later this is a perfect time to post a new transfer of the show.
Just the basic taper requests here and please no vitriol:

Don't remaster and/or post on other sites that are not 100% free
