U2 - St Louis, MO, July 17th 2011

Randombloke Notes;
Recorded using a Zoom H2 Audio Recorder 48khz 24bit using the rear stereo microphone. Recording position was in the bleachers to the rear left of the stage.

Unlike some of the other shows I attended on this tour, the sound from where I was seated was incredible, absolutely perfect. Any issues with the recording are certainly down to the limitations of the mic/recorder and because of the incredibly rude people surrounding me that often felt it necessary to engage in conversation at high volume, usually when songs were being played they didn’t know. This is certainly audible during Stay, after which I moved back a couple of rows to get away from the main offenders.

A scorching night in St Louis played host to a very regular set list for this leg of the tour. That they managed to keep it together and put on a great concert in that heat makes them all the better in my eyes. Amazing!

Drew's Notes:
Took the raw audio, and did some eq, volume adjustment, and balanced the channels a bit more. This recording came with a lot of bass, I actually toned it down a bit, it was a little overpowering, and it might still be depending on how you like it, I like bass. The slight distortion of the bass is from the original recording, not the mastering process. I tried to bring up the Vocals best I could without destroying the recording. Converted to 44khz 16bit, all using Audition. The people around Randombloke really are annoying. I did try and lower the volume on those people when possible, but some things just can't be removed unfortunately.

Thanks to Randombloke for taping the show.

Enjoy,
Drew W.
