Kosevo Stadium
Sarajevo
Source: FM
Quality: excellent (samples in the comments)
Lineage: Silver CD "Sarajevo" > EAC > flac (8) > wav > Steinberg ME > Har-Bal > Waves S1 & L3 > CD Wave > TLH > flac (6)
Several versions of this show are circulating, mostly FM recordings. I've also seen an incomplete pre-FM source and a remaster by the great thir13en with four damaged tracks, but I've never heard the complete show in good quality.
To my ears, WW1 didn't do an excellent job EQ-wise. It just didn't sound like U2. In addition the first track is damaged because Edge's voice was mixed in much too loud, suppressing the music. Moreover, the FM recording I had suffered from about twenty tiny gaps, digiclicks and fades. The SA showed a big drop at 16kHz, but it doesn't look worse to me than a lot of other FM or SBD recordings I've seen.
This show is very emotional and to me the best and most enjoyable of the Popmart era. Worth a lot of trouble to get things right. I ran the low-end through a compressor to achieve a warm and tight low. I used the Steinberg "Spectralizer" to gain some clarity. The Har-Bal EQ was used to achieve a more natural sound. All in all, it sounds like U2 playing in a stadium now: big, rich and detailed. Finally I repaired the clicks and gaps, and glued the different parts together to a seamless show. No fades halfway the show: if you want to burn it, apply fades where you want them with Nero.
Enjoy & play it loud.
