Vibrant recording and pressing. A lot of headroom. Bass has serious presence. Takes me back. That Unforgettable Fire tour was amazing. They weren’t megastars yet and still played like they were hungry. -
Edited 7 months agoFrom '85, four nicely chosen (live?) tracks from the Unforgettable Fire tour. Old school fans will tell you "Bad" was the band's "With Or Without You" prior to Joshua Tree. It is beautiful and stirring, especially live.
I love the Brian Eno production, however, noting U2 is one of those bands that sounds even better live than on their highly polished studio releases. Under A Blood Red Sky is a must-have too, btw.
Gorgeous recording and mixing here. Great pressing and just really enjoyable full sound overall. Bass is very prominent.
Four stars. Recommended. -
Anyone know of an Irish pressing of this, I have one here translucent (Brown) with bright light and Text on label is white(ISH) and in the same style as other Irish pressings from pressing plants of the time, (Font not as sharp)

Is 7 90279-1-A on the spine? That's what mine has, and simply 90279-1-A on the back cover.
