The main set is the July 7, 1993 show from Rome, however, the recording of that show may be the worst audience recoring I have ever heard, so I didn't even consider extracting and converting as there are far superior recordings of this Zooropa show available. The second part of the CDs (and more interesting part) is the show from February 26, 1980. As you can see from the track listing above, these are some of U2's first original songs (11 O'clock Tick Tock is really Silver Lining). This is a good soundboard recording (considering the age) and well worth the listen. I hope you enjoy it as I have. Notes from FLOM: (© 1999/2000 www.u2-flom.de): -*edit*- The real attraction of this package are the Dublin tracks, which should be the main feature of the discs, not bonus tracks! An embryonic U2 put on a great show for about 1000 fans and friends in their home town, a full 8 months before the release of "Boy". Many of the songs feature different lyrics than the ones we're used to on their later releases. Disc 2 Track 7 is "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" with different lyrics (it's listed as "11 O'Clock Tick Tock"). Track 10 is "Touch" with different lyrics. Track 16 features the original lyrics as found on the 1980 "Another Day" B-side. -*end edit*-
