I'm not really a fan of U2. Even though I'm of mostly Irish descent I never really took to their signature sound. To be completely frank, I though Bono a pompous ass. But, they did make quite a splash in the 80s and miraculously enough are still doing so today. Don't get me wrong, I don't "hate" U2. Anyway, I had the opportunity to have the use of a video camera to pair with my new portable hifi vhs recorder. In 1985 a video camera and recorder were quite bulky, no, really, this was some bulky shit. Luckily I had a close college friend that worked security for Bill Graham Presents and he got all this crap in for me. So with the help of another friend holding the mics, I hand-held the camera though the show and got a shaky marginally watchable video from a medium good seat about half way back and midway up the left side. Don't even bother asking for the video, I'm not at all ready to prepare a DVD upload for a variety of reasons and it's not very good anyway. This the hifi audio, a very good recording setup, compromised mainly by the automatic level control, the screaming girls nearby, and the so so seats. So, if you are a fan, I hope you enjoy this.
