U2   05/27/2001

Molson Centre, Montreal, QC
Source Audience master recording by Corey Present
Media CDR   2 discs
Notes DVD 2361; lineage: Taper: Corey Present. Source: Audience > OKM IIr mics > TCDD8 > CD master > CD (optical clone) > then shn > CD-R. There isn't very much crowd noise at all, which is nice. The bass has a "thuddy" sound to it, but the rest of the ranges come through decently. Great show, and includes some songs not done in a while, including "Out Of Control" and "She's A Mystery". Overall, a nice set.
J-Card Comment comment (Justin):
Corey did just as good of a job recording the concerts in the upper Midwest as he did in Texas.
Hard to believe, but true.
Those of you who have heard "Deep In the Heart...of Texas"
or "Old School: U2 In Dallas" know how good Corey's recordings sound.
This bootleg is virtually identical to those recordings.
The clarity is incredible and there is almost no crowd noise.
Another incredible recording!

Bono says that "Every night they have an instrument that measures how loud,
how noisy the crowd is.
This is the noisiest crowd on the whole tour!"
Needless to say, the crowd goes wild.

Those who waited in the general admission queue for this concert can sympathize with the title of this bootleg.
Not only is it a line from "She's A Mystery To Me", it's also how those who were waiting patiently in the line felt as the doors to the arena were opened.
Security at the Molson Centre opened a side door and let in people who were standing outside the gate before those who had been waiting in line for twelve hours.
The result was that a lot of people who should have been standing right in front of the stage wound up outside of the heart.
Trades Allowed Yes
