Another soundcheck i got on tape. like usual i removed all the silent parts (+/- 6 minutes) when the band was inactive.
sound is pretty solid except where indicated. a hiss is hearable (you know, this is typical to soundchecks) You can hear
a group of people chatting between the songs but it's not disturbing. some unknown rehearsals songs are performed.

The tape his was pretty strong and constant, so I worked on it using Adobe Audition's noise reduction function, and
believe the recording is now much more pleasing to the ears. U2 was in fine form that day, and they entertained us all very nicely as they prepared for the concert that evening. There was quite a partying mood in the parking lot (except for
me - I was making a separate recording ant talking about the end of the world :-)
