Comments:
Deluxe color digipack package. Very interesting versions of songs from
'The Unforgettable Fire' songs on the Melbourne tracks. Also a lot of
older songs are played on this bootleg that were never played again on
later tours. This CD is of similar quality to two other excellent CDs
from 'The Unforgettable Fire'-era, THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT and FOUR AT
FOUR. Unfortunately, though, this CD has been mastered at the wrong
speed. As a result, the pitch of the Wembley show is too fast by nearly
1/2 a step. The bonus tracks are even worse; they are off in pitch by
nearly a whole step. If attention to details such as proper pitch
matters to you, and if you have the ears to tell the difference, don't
buy this CD. If, on the other hand, such things don't matter to you, or
if you can't tell the difference anyway, then it is a worthy CD to add
to your collection. It's hard to imagine how anyone could not recognize
how bad the bonus tracks are, though. They sound more like the Chimpunks
than U2. Finally, this recording is *not* from November 14, 1984, as the
manufacturer claims. It is from the second night at Wembley Arena,
London, England on November 15, 1984. This CD could have been terrific,
since it's one of the best concerts from the first European leg of the
Unforgettable Fire tour, and it includes (among many other highlights)
some beautiful improvisational scat singing before "Bad" that I've never
heard Bono sing prior to this show or since. It's a shame the
manufacturer didn't pay enough attention to details to get this one
right.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Personal comment: I didn't think it was that bad. Pitch variation is a problem that afflicts more than this bootleg. In most cases they even say that the bad has an agressive sound, or energetic. Look at it this way, if you want to play along you don't have to tune down.
