U2 - 1997-08-18 - Nuremberg, Germany (Earpiece - FLAC)



U2 - 1997-08-18 - Nuremberg, Germany (Earpiece - FLAC)
Venue: Zeppelinfield

Sound Quality:
Excellent earpiece feed.

Support: Silver CD
Integral: Selected Songs

Comments:
Review taken from "Justin's U2 CD-R Trading Page", run by Justin Cook: "This is a professional bootleg. It was issued on silver CDs and includes color artwork. However, no mention is made of the bootleg label that produced the recording. The only clue lies on the discs, which say "U2 Nurnberg 1997 Part 1" and "U2 Nurnberg 1997 Part 2" along with the codes "U2N 971" and "U2N 972".
Regardless of who pressed this bootleg, the material is famous by now. It is the same earpiece recording that is featured on "Pop Explosion - Music In My Ear". However, this recording does not contain the annoying "pops" between tracks that are on "Pop Explosion...". The bonus tracks are from the earpiece recording of the Hannover concert two days later.

Venue: Humphreys Concerts By the Bay
Shelter Island, San Diego CA

Lineage:  Third row center > Blue Mikey > iPhone 3GS using Blue FiRe > Audacity for trim and track cuts, saved as wavs > xACT for FLAC conversion and checksum > to You and I.  No sound processing other than conversion.

Recording notes:
"This was the end of the Progressive Tour (July - August) across the US.  The previous night in Mountain View was the last shared bill with Styx; this night was Yes-only. The band filled out the setlist by adding Steve's acoustic solo, debuting Into The Storm, and adding Machine Messiah.  Tempus Fugit began with Steve energetically jumping up and down to count out the start. The crowd was completely engaged throughout the show, which fed the band to give a great performance. Humphreys is a high stage with the speaker cabinets placed under the front of the stage rather than stacked on the sides.  Sound levels in the third row were pretty high so there is not much in way of dynamics or stereo separation in this recording. This was my first night using the Mikey/iPhone combination that I was able to capture a full concert.  A little capsule handling noise is present here and there. 
This is definitely an audience recording. The audience was really into this show, a few times to the point of distraction as your can hear. For some reason Californians seem to have an urge to blurt out their feelings to complete strangers.  When Benoit is introducing "And You And I" and mentions it is from 1972, the woman in front shouts "Class of '72!".  I was afraid that she was going to describe her whole high school career in finite detail to everyone within six rows. As the majesty of the song unfolds, however, she quietens. All in all, the crowd was either up on their feet clapping along and whooping, or sitting and listening intently. They responded with sustained cheers for the encore. As the band mentions, a nice way to wrap the tour". (vin2010, Aug 18, 2011)

Lineage:  Fourth row in front of Benoit -> Blue Mikey -> iPhone 3GS using Blue FiRe -> Audacity for trim, track cuts and EQ  -> xACT for FLAC conversion and checksum -> to You and I.

Note: Not quite a complete concert.  Missing end of Yours Is No Disgrace and beginning of Heart Of The Sunrise.

Recording notes:
"Shane Alexander opened, followed by Styx, then Yes. This seat location had a good mix of stage monitors and PA so the recording has more depth compared to the San Diego show. No nearby talkers in this show, just a few whoopers, but there is plenty of crowd noise audible in the quieter passages. Several times during the show Steve gave the evil eye to some talkers right in front of him, and at one point he mentions "so some of your *are* listening!". Enjoy, vin2010.

Thanks to vin2010 for sharing this.

Thanks goes out to the taper. Without the tapers and their generosity we wouldn't get to experience the music! 

Note:
If burning to CD, a good disk split point is after 08-Owner Of A Lonely Heart, which is nearly 57 minutes into the show.

ThePhog Notes:
"Bono is definitely having vocal trouble and is clearly not feeling well at this show and asks the crowd to help him get through it several times. Not an awful show, but not a great one either. It is interesting to hear Bono get through a show when he is obviously sick. The IEM of this show was traded without consent a LONG time ago but still managed to stay somewhat uncirculated by some miracle. But it became known through a third party that it was being shopped for trades by a particular person without asking. She became known for doing this and similar types of things quite frequently. Based on the “source” of the SLC 01 soundboard recording this upload will make sense to those in the know.  Again, thanks for the SLC soundboard upload! It is a very nice recording. The show was obviously traded quite heavily, even more than I thought by the source (makes you wonder how much jeopardy that Delta Center employee’s job was really in! ;) ). I’m sure some of you will bitch about this upload. Thanks! You make it easier to possibly not share anything further. To the rest of you, thanks for your support, maybe something else will get shared if things calm down and there is not the usual vocal minority bitching. Too many IEMs from the 2010/11 tour are being uploaded drawing lots of attention all over for the 360 tour. May not happen but scrambled or encrypted IEM signals are a possibility as a result of that. U2’s crew have recently added the “fan cam” again which was used on Vertigo to basically bust tapers. You do the math. So we are not going to contribute to that kind of attention any further for now, especially 360 shows. We want to do what we can to ensure this type of recording can still be captured in the future and at least on the rest of this tour. Some people have way too many “demands” and are way too impatient on here also. It is just not worth it. If a true uncirculated soundboard or IEM that we do not already have is uploaded we may reconsider our position. By uncirculated I mean a show that several dozen people (if not more) are not already in possession of like SLC 01 was. Hopefully there are no further hassles with this upload and all is smooth going forward. Thanks to the Albany audience recording taper. Thanks to NS for his IEM recording". ThePhog

CPTwister Matrixing/Remastering Notes:
"Both recordings have issues. The audience source was very distant and lacked a lot of high end. There is some stray audience clapping/talking but nothing too distracting. The IEM recording was recorded in mono with the volume to high causing it to be slightly overloaded or “hot” on the high end. This can still be heard in the matrix as there is not much you can do to alleviate it completely. The IEM was a very clean recording in that there were very few static bursts or flares. There are fades at the end of Stay and the beginning of Bad due to a disc change for the IEM recording; some music is lost as a result. Using Audio Lab 12, I matrixed the recordings to get them to sync up reasonably well. I put the IEM higher in the mix just because that’s how I personally prefer it. I brought up the bass slightly on both recordings. The second half of my IEM CDR seems to be a slightly lower volume, I tried to adjust it to make it the same as the first half, but the first half (up to Stay) still sounds a bit more overloaded or crisp, if that makes sense. That’s basically it; I did not add a lot or take away much. You can only do so much with the material you have to work with and I wasn’t going to waste a lot of time trying to fine tune this show. Combining the audience recording was the best option due to the overload on the IEM feed. Typically I do a layering matrixing technique when re mastering mono or single feed IEMs and an audience source is not necessary most of the time for my taste. The IEM brings out the details in Bono’s vocal and the instruments that were not as present in the audience recording and the audience recording helps alleviate some of the IEM overload and gives it a fuller sound. Overall I think it is a better listening experience combined. I could not find the audience taper info here or in my own records. If they are still out there and have a problem being part of this matrix please PM The Phog or myself." CPT (MB)
