Comments [U2april4th.com]: I haven't listened to Winkel Shopping (WS) or Songs For Lily (SFL) versions, but this one is awesome: clear, crisp, clean, loud, powerful. Tracklisting matches with SFL, so this is the reason why I put the length of each track... so the collectors who have SFL can compare. This version includes the outro and a bonus track, and moreover, I didn't detect pops between tracks here, but sometimes it seems some edition has been performed (for example, a rare transition between Miami and Bullet the Blue Sky, very rough one... is this perhaps a remastered/edited version of SFL?). I have absolutely no info about this item, so this seems to be a third version of the Werchter show. All I can say is that this is a fantastic recording, that perfectly merits an "Exc+ audience" rating. CD2 Track-13 seems to be be a soundcheck or something, sound is a bit muddy, and distant, although still good.

Comments [MLK]: After a spectrum analysys on both "Songs for Lili" and "The Wedding Band From Hell" I can say they are the same recording, but with very very very slight difference, maybe dued to a different audio digital extraction...or something else.
