History of this set is: master cassette -> DAT -> CDR (4th Gen) -> Digital Sound Processing -> CDR

This is my remastered version of the "U2 and the New Voices of Freedom" show that I received from Justin Cook.   I remixed the audio a bit, increased the level to saturated (without clipping), isolated and removed some low level background noise (most likely recording deck noise),  and blended out 3 or 4 abrupt breaks in the recording (where the cassettes were flipped, etc.).   Fades were added to the front and back ends of each disc. I also removed a repeating  clicking noise that can be heard on the original Disc 2 between the marks of 29:05 and 55:24 (from "With or WIthout You" to "40").  There was a break in the original recording at the 29:05 mark, so this must have been where Cassette 2 was flipped.  Apparently only Cassette 2, Side B suffered from the clicking noise, because it can't be heard anywhere else in  the original recording.  The clicking has been removed and can no longer be heard in the remastered version.
