      What is wrong??? I did not find any U2 ​​discs for each disc according to barcode and description on vinyl.
      Some descriptions are inaccurate, others with such details that are not ..

        The remastered cd sounds amazingly good not over emphasized and the dynamics are clear! Although my all time favorite from the U2 is The Unforgettable Fire and stops at Joshua Tree there is something special about the music here it feels warm,meloncholy, upbeat, genuine and the band esp. Edge is very creative with rhythmic grooves and space within the context of the songs. Bono sounds very prolific and you can hear his voice maturing to the next level.

          I was fortunate to see this tour of this record my senior year in high school, in a church - of all places. No more than 500 there. Tickets were $7. I where I parked, but I really don't much of the concert.
