Back in the US. 8th show in 15 days. After the civility and intamacy of the Royal Albert Hall I tackle a U2 stadium show trying
to reprise my success of 1987 and 1992. I recorded this with EasyEd who ran his source to my left. We arrived at 4:30 and I got on
line. Glad I had a ride so I didn'y have to pay $40 to park. $40 to park wtf is that all about? I had my gear hidden and had some
food with me. They took my food and drinks so they could rip me off inside. I truly hate Oakland venues, no wonder the A's, Raiders
and Warriors struggle, the venues are not fan friendly. I was in early enough to get in the inner circle but too crowded so I went
for a good spot in the regular GA area. Put down a blanket and asked someone to watch it while I went to out to put on the gear. Turns
out he was a retired taper. EasyEd joined me and we recorded the first band. Wasn't too crowded, yet. Sound was horrible although
listening to recordings they are pretty good. For Lenny Kravitz it got much more crowded but still tolerable. Surrounded by mostly
good people but some right in front were not. Finally for U2 it got very crowded. Sound was still not right but I can't control that.
I recorded U2 at the same venue twice in 1987 and once in 1992 and the sound was much much better. Obviously those recordings were
superior. I wish U2 would spend more on sound and less on stage architecture. I think Glastonberry will be best show on tour for that
reason. The Claw stays on tour and they fly with instruments to UK. Only glitches on recording are one slight bump from a person taking
pics to my left and one in Sunday Bloody Sunday when EasyEd hit my mics taking pictures. Not aperfect recording and one that probably
is not too friendly to cheap steros or Ipods due to heavy low end.
