"Each feed is cleaned up in Adobe Audition. Used the Ozone Isotope 3 plugin for matching EQ on the wireless, and then the Waves Q6 EQ, MaxxBass harmonics, and L3 compressor on the final stream.
Special thanks to Chrisedge for allowing use of his excellent audience source. Basic fades added at the beginning and end of the show but not mid show."

Taper/Seeder Notes:
"Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely. Please do not attempt to remaster this recording and spread it around. There is little to no point of trying to compete with the original processing. If you need to re-eq it for your own listening pleasure, that's fine, just don't spread it around.
If you're going to destroy the sound of some ultra-spiffy high-end rigs by encoding and spreading them via mp3's, please keep them on your own computer and not dilute the tradepool. And I would really appreciate not seeing this sendspaced, ysi'ed , etc all over the web in 17 different formats.
And if people want more stuff sounding like this on the next tour, I can start up a donations fund to help fund for tickets + travel + lodging and then sell on ebay.. Call it Vertvid...oh wait that's been done. Have to think of a new name."

Short description for lazy people: "Nice, get this."

Long description for patient people: "This might be the most underrated U2 boot ever: a three disc collection of studio sessions of a band searching for a new sound. Well, obviously they hadn't quite found it in 1990. This is halfway between Rattle and Hum, and Achtung Baby, literally. But interesting it is. Amongst the tracks on the Jewels set a lot of fooling around, experimenting, up to nine versions of the same song, fragments, unfinished ideas. Hard to listen to.  But also a lot of complete songs, almost hidden in the mess, some of them completely finished and in pristine studio quality. Even nicer to me sound the loosely, laidback played early versions of some songs that made it onto the final album Achtung Baby. While official U2 albums tend to sound like every freshness is squeezed out of it by (poor) production, here is a vivid and exciting sound to experience. Anyway.
From the 36 songs I took the more or less complete songs only, and out of the various takes of the same song I picked the one or two that I liked most. Then, there was some work to do. Firstly, throughout the cd set, one channel was phase reversed which spoiled every listening fun. Secondly, the songs lacked presence and vividness, due to poor EQ'ing and muddy ultra low frequencies which shouldn't be there.
After fixing these flaws, I ended up with a blistering collection of the first steps towards U2's most exciting album ever. But then what? How to organize a compilation like this? It is impossible to determine any chronological order. Moreover, while some songs could be pressed on silver right away, other songs are rather raw so there's no real consistency. Not much logic and rational choices left. So, I chose eleven songs that I liked best and put them on disc one in the same order they were on the Jewels bootleg (except for Wake Up because it was added in the last minute). Then I took a B-selection of another eleven songs I considered of lesser concern for some reason, and threw them on disc two in the order I remastered them, i.e. random order. If you want a different order: all songs are sector aligned, and all songs end with 2.5 seconds of silence, so you can order them yourself in any order you like. " (noiseless - august, 2011)

Seeder Notes:
"Another one of JEMS' analog-era U2 masters that has not been torrented directly from the master tapes. This was the second time JEMS recorded the band in Detroit in the span of slightly more than three months. But in that time the band's popularity grew enormously, as they jumped from the 5,000 seat Fox Theater they played in December to 17,000 seat Joe Louis Arena. Another fine audience recording by J in a much bigger venue. It takes a minute into the first song to get the mic and levels right but after he does it is pretty much smooth sailing." (August 2011)

"This is one of the last of our analog-era U2 masters that has not been torrented directly from the master tapes and  we'll be getting to most of them over the next couple of weeks. Circulating copies of this War tour stop in Detroit are very good indeed, coming from a cassette master to DAT copy done well over a decade ago by J, but this is a fresh transfer of the master cassette at higher resolution and sounds it terrific, far better than most War tour audies in the States.. One of many many shows JEMS recorded at this venue." (August 2011)

Bootslive Statement:
The information below is exactly as stated in the best guide we've ever met on U2's bootlegs, the late Flom (© "FLOM - A Guide To U2 Bootleg CDs" / Sascha Kremer). We prefer to give due credit, even though not knowing who exactly wrote it instead of being accused of plagiarizing the work of others. The little Napoleon is always hanging around, ready to launch false accusations and to demand public retraction, what make us laugh a lot.

Comments:
© "FLOM - A Guide To U2 Bootleg CDs" / Sascha Kremer:
"There is a good stereo "feel" to this recording. You can hear all the "components" of U2 (i.e. vocals, bass, guitar and drums) very clearly. This CD features two interesting soundcheck recordings, apparently from just before the first ZOO TV show in Lakeland, Florida. When listening to the soundchecks (which are recorded fairly well), its quite strange to hear U2 play live, but with no applause or audience noise. I'd recommend this CD for anyone's collection, if only for the soundchecks and the brilliant performance (in my opinion) of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"! If you haven't got an Outside Broadcast Tour bootleg yet, then I think this one is worth the money. Disc 1, Track 1 is the infamous Automatic Baby  performance, with Michael Stipe (of R.E.M.) on lead vocals."  (not included here)

Noiseless notes:
"Here's my version of the 1992 Washington DC show. It's a pretty nice listen to me, but it isn't the Holy Grail, unfortunately. The SBD was recorded too loud and the second half of the show suffers badly from distortion. For this matrix, two SBD sources were used: the Dreamoutloud version aka 'Calling the White House", and the more complete ‘And Now a Word From Our Sponsors’. Both had their good and their bad, so I used parts from both. The AUD (said to be Sony WM D3 > pc-62 by M.V.) was distant but it adds a pleasant live atmosphere. It wasn't mixed in very loud but unfortunately you'll notice some talking, screaming and clapping through the music at spots.
Last note: the sound was and is very compressed so if you listen with headphones, you'll be very tired at the end of the show. But apart from the flaws, I tried to get the best out of it, and it sounds pretty acceptable over any stereo set. Enjoy."

Taper Notes:
"The boys put on a great show, the place was pretty packed and they definitely fed off of that. The sound was great where I was and the mix was overall very nice. It made for some great versions of many songs and they were enjoying themselves very much, Geddy seemed very into it and was going off on the bass quite bit. Alex was very outgoing as well and simply shredded during Working Man with Geddy right next to him doing the same. Neil was great as well of course ;) This is what a concert in Chicago should be all about!!!! "

Release Notes:
"As always, feel free to share this anywhere you'd like, MP3 is fine for personal use, but please don't distribute in that format. Please do not alter/remaster/matrix this release. A great deal of effort went into capturing and producing this recording, and we would prefer it to remain as we have presented it. Your cooperation will encourage many more releases in the future. ;) Thanks & enjoy the show! "
