Per Pimm:
"U2 play Columbus for the first time since April 19, 1981. 'I want to tell you something about this city,' Bono quips right at the end of I Will Follow, 'When I was 14 years old my girlfriend, of Dublin town, came up to a guy from Ohio State. Came back from this University. No bra, Ohio State T-shirt, and not very much interested in myself. So I'm seriously pissed off with this place!' He finishes the song and adds, 'I'm not messin'!
"A fan in the audience is wearing a T-shirt that says 'Kill Bono'. Bono points at it and the fan throws him the shirt. 'Whaddaya think this is? Fucking pantomime?' Bono growls, starting Bullet the Blue Sky, and goes off on a mad rap: 'So this guy comes up to me, with his Kill Bono T-shirt. He's peeling off those dollars bills (...) What are we talking here. Merchandise. Rights. Ownership and all that stuff. What we are talking here, with his kill Bono T-shirt? We're talking 100! 200! 300! 400! I'm not dead. Send it off, poor little garage band from garage land. Awww, big guy with the big boots."

This concert is a gift to us from Justin! This concert had been previously requested, but the version I had had a defect...several trades later, every version had a different defect...Justin heard about the difficulty, and kindly has made this intact version available to us all! Greatly appreciated, to say the least.
I also had a copy of In The Shoe, another version of this concert, very deep bassy sound...but it also had defects...if anyone else has this and would like to seed it, that would be great.
Rare for me to be able to cite, but courtesy of Justin I can forward the lineage:
Transfer: DAT master > DAT clone > analog (1) > wav > CDR > wav (EAC secure) > flac (Level 6)
NOTE (from Justin): I transferred this show from cassette to CDR. The cassette was a first generation copy of a DAT clone, so the sound is excellent. The bass is pretty heavy, but not overbearing.
