Sound Quality:
Excellent audience.

Comments:
B.B. King appears on Tracks 5-7 of Disc 2. Bono gets pissed off at some over zealous members of the audience
by saying, "If you can not live together in here, then you can not live together out there, let me tell ya".
Bono introduces "Slow Dancing", as a song he wrote for Willie Nelson, by saying, "we've never played this
song before, so..." This 2CD set is identical in content to FREEDOM OF THE SPIRITS from an unknown
manufacturer. I've never heard the other pressing, but I assume sound quality is the same for both.
This is one of two of the original pressings on this label.
