Comment:
# Acoustic
^ 'Kite' make its debut
% 'Stay' shows up as the first 'Zooropa' song ever performed on North American soil.

Notes: I used Cool Edit Pro to clean the recording up the best I could. Its a pretty good
recording (My estimate is an 'A-')

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tracks have been reindexed, hiss de-emphasized, stereo widended, some presence
(bass has been added), fade in and out has been added to initial and end tracks on
both discs, and gaps have been removed. Some may complain these SHNs
don't sound great on their little tiny computer speakers or car speakers, but the
resulting cd-rs sound pretty good on my stereo speakers (and that's
what matters to me). Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this sounds better than
the original SHNs (Don't believe me? Go back and listen to the orginal hissy SHNs then).
If you wish, you can certainly shape the sound to suit your tastes using
numerous sound editing programs.

(There may be others; I haven't listened completely to the whole show yet.)
I just noticed the first few tracks don't sound as good as Track 5 onward.
Screaming is a bit shrill in the first couple of tracks as well.
I give the original SHN offering a C grade (the hiss was insane).
I would give this edited version a "B".

Hope you like it!

Regards,

Aaron
