One show that I always wanted to mix up, and when JEMS posted their excellent audience source I decided to take a swing at it. Several aborted attempts, but have finally finished it up.

I saw 15 shows that tour, and honestly, this was probably my second favorite show. A seemingly standard show, but very energetic and solid all the way through. Band seemed in very good spirits and getting into the groove of the tour. Edge's daughter's doctor came out in soundcheck, which they discussed during the show and soundcheck.

I remember among the first run of shows, each show was successively better than the last. This show was the final step in that (5th show of the tour). Better than the san diego and anaheim shows. The second LA show was a slight step down from this show IMO. San Jose x2 and Phoenix 1 weren't as good either. It seemed for Phoenix 2 they got a source of inspiration and fired things back up. But by then, they were clearly settingly into the set. This show showed a band still figuring themselves out, but getting into some real fun during the process.

Released this show in celebration of the 360 tour firing back up. Just listening to some of the songs on this tour makes you realize those early vertigo setlists were among the best they've had in a long time. The Boy songs (Electric Co, An Cat Dubh, Into the Heart), oldie goodies (Running to Stand Still), and great run of ZooTV set (Zoo Station, Fly, Mysterious Ways). 360 can't touch that.

Anywho. Good recording and mix IMO. It does have the click track and count ins, as par the course. Some minor channel issues here and there. Nothing too distracting IMO. Did processing to make it sound better to my ears. If that doesn't meet your standard...then gear up and get it done yourself.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for
blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your
time". Just share it freely.

Please do not attempt to remaster this recording and spread it
around. There is little to no point of trying to compete with
the original processing. If you need to re-eq it for your own
listening pleasure, that's fine, just don't spread it around.
If you're going to destroy the sound of some ultra-spiffy
high-end rigs by encoding and spreading them via mp3's, please
keep them on your own computer and not dilute the tradepool.
And I would really appreciate not seeing this sendspaced,
ysi'ed , torrented etc all over the web in 17 different
formats. If I want it torrented on a different site, I'll do
it myself.
