NOTE: From Ernesto Lara (aka lovetown) webmaster of April4th U2 CDR Trading:

Fantastic quality in this recording. Sound is powerful, although tiny distant, but it captures all instruments with good cleanness, featuring a quite clear sound, very crisp. Audience noise is not an issue, softly audible between songs, and never being annoying. Wake Up Dead Man is missing in this recording. 



The recording is not flawless. I have traded this concert twice, and both versions have the same flaws. I detected a high number of very slight ticks between tracks in both CDs (mostly on CD1). Very soft blips, that remind me to the ticks in "Hampton - Night One", December 11th, 1987. Skips during songs occur a few times.



Let's begin with CD1. Pop Muzik contains a skip at 0:34 that cuts out a few seconds of the song. Another skip was found at 04:16 in Gone, that also cuts out a couple of seconds, just at the end. More skipping can be heard at the first few seconds of Even Better, that speeds-up the song for a moment. The most nasty skipping occurs in Until the End of the World, from 03:01 to 03:11 (speeds-up the song), 03:48, 03:50, 03:56 and from 04:01 to 04:04. The song finishes with a very noticeable click with New Year's Day. One more skip at 0:25 in Sunday Bloody Sunday that cuts out the first verse.



In CD2, Please has a tiny tick at 03:42, and another skip at 04:08 that also cuts out a few seconds of the song. It seems to be a slight edit just during the transition between tracks 4 and 5. Another noticeable edit happens between tracks 8 and 9.
