Background from Pimm:

"Bono announces I Still Haven't Found in Italian and lets the audience sing half of the first verse. During Trip Through Your Wires a football is thrown on stage. Bono asks: 'Have you got a good football team here? What are they called? Who is the best player?' The crowd scream several names. 'What's his name? The Edge?' They play the slow version of Sunday Bloody Sunday, as performed in 1986, with Edge playing the intro and Larry and Adam waiting until Bono has sung the first two verses. This version will continue to show up at most concerts the rest of the year. During People Get Ready Edge plays bass, and Bono remarks that he has never done that on the song before. The guy that comes onstage to play guitar fails to impress and Bono sings, 'God have mercy, you're a hopeless guitar player! You even make me feel better, you son of a bitch."

There seem to be several versions of this concert, as quoted at Justin's, u2depot.com and achtungbootlegs.com sites...the sound quality on this version is superb...somewhere between top of the line audience and soundboard...I really think this is soundboard...I thought I might have detected vinyl sourcing such as was the case with the Portfolio version, but Portfolio evidently does not include Gloria...and the separation of tracks on this version does not correspond with any of the other ones. If anyone can provide more information, please do so...and, we could use some cover art here too!

I did not merge the ninth and tenth tracks on disc 2, you are receiving exactly what I received.
