This is the final soundcheck recording of the "Melbourne Lovetown soundchecks". There are less songs than on the
other two soundchecks but I don't regard this one as boring. The exact line up of this soundcheck is unknown. Bono
is not present and it is possible that some of the other recordings were played by the technicians, too but it is
believed that Edge was still very active in soundchecking those days.
This 77 minute long recording of the same soundcheck recording

sounds better because it was dehissed but this one is the "original" 88 minute long version. The lineage of this one is more
precise than the other one.
