CD 1 & 2 : Brussels - June 9th, 2005

Reworkings: only the left channel wasn't heavily distorted, so i used this for both sides. I normalised it. I eq'ed it a bit to make the overall sound better. cuts for our removal in Mysterious Ways and All Because Of You.

Taper's locations :
1st Location: outside the stadium, edge side (left from stage), back end entrance
2nd Location: outside the stadium, edge side (left from stage), street

Taper's notes : U2 rehearsed a complete show in the almost empty stadium one day before the European leg of the Vertigo Tour kick off at the same location. No fans were allowed inside this time but many heard the show from outside the stadium.

Some fans (at least 15), were smart enough to go for a drink in the afternoon in the bar of the stadium.
U2 soundchecked in the afternoon.
After the sound check Bono went to the waiting fans outside the stadium to give autographs.
About 30 minutes before this Dress Rehearsal 2 coaches with VIPs got in the stadium.
At this moment we were stuck between the fans outside on the street and the stadium itself.
The Dress Rehearsal was taped from the location shown on the pic. We were Dancing Like Mad. We Were singing along. But you won't hear it hardly, because the music was so loud, even outside the stadium. Between the songs you can also hear the yelling and cheering of the people on the street.

But ...
after almost a complete show, we were thrown out during Mysterious Ways and the beginning of All Because Of You. We were removed from the location where we stood the whole afternoon and evening. I got to the outside to find a good location. There were a lot of people on the street, and you will hear some talk, some cheering, some clapping.

The day after we heard the guy removed us by accident. The guy who got us out, didn't understand his walkie talkie well, but most of the security knew we were at the back end entrance and had already decided that it was ok to stay where we were. (In fact, they pointed the location to us, after they asked U2's management whether we could get in for the dress rehearsal).
