BONO: The Complete Solo Projects (5) Bono's solo work, collaborations, soundtrack contibutions, guest appearances, this and that collected over 5 generous discs. Hits and misses, but a worthy effort.

COVERING 'EM. Various audience recordings which varies in quality. Number of Dylan songs and a couple of appearances of Bono at some of Bob's gigs - about half the disc.

THIS AIN'T NO SWAMP MEET. Excellent set of b sides and live tracks.

BOSTON 24 (2) 24 tunes from various tour stops in Boston. All good to excellent quality.

FOUR WILD IRISH ROSES. Various demos and sessions from 1978 to 1981. All in excellent sound, some sounding not very much different than the released material.

ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE. Live compilation from the 1981 tour. They were a bunch of raw, hard charging rock and rollers in their youth. Soundboard quality.

A LATE NIGHT PLAY IN BOSTON. March 6, 1981, Boston, Massachusetts. I was late to this band and I can see why. Decent recording, but they had a way to go.

UNFORGETTABLE NANTES THE COMPLETE CONCERT (2) October 23, 1984. Nantes, France. What a terrific soundboard. Very strong early show, top shelf. Artwork doesn't match set.

OCTOBER 30, 1984 (2) Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Somewhat sub par taping, but the passion shines thru.

JUNE 17, 1987 (2) Cologne, Germany. A subpar audience taping, the Irish boys do their part though opening with Eddie Cochrane's "C'mon
Everybody."

JUNE 24,1987 (2) Crap recording. For Completists only.

JUNE 27, 1987 (2) Ditto. Ditto. (see above)

NOVEMBER 15, 1987 (2) Oakland, California. A fantastic show with some very cool arrangements & performances. "Still Haven't Found" was incredible. Who knew the Larry Mullen Jr could play so well. Exceptional show.

DECEMBER 16, 1989 (2) Dortmund, Germany. Acceptable recording, just makes it. The vocals are upfront and Bono can connect.

MOUNTAINS & DESERTS (2) Presented as the soundtrack unedited of Rattle & Hum. Really good stuff. Love those guys!

JESUS WAS A COOL GUY. Terrific accoustic collection from various shows mostly in the early 90's. Plenty of covers mixed in - A nice one.

JANUARY 9, 1990 (2) Rotterdam, Netherlands. A good example of a not so great audience taping that captures the warmth and passion of a live concert. However, it someone ran it's course, by the middle of disc 2.

SAN PAOLO VIRTUAL. (2) Knockout set from the Pop Mart Tour. High quality audience
recording, hard to realize sometimes that it isn't a soundboard.

AUGUST 07, 1992 (2) Hershey, Pennsylvania. Nicely recorded show though inconsistant at times. Bono continues to captivate.

OCTOBER 14, 1992 (2) Houston, Texas. Simply a fantastic, superb performance. Magnificant. Splendid. Delightful. Great.

AUGUST 14, 1993 (2) Leeds. Enjoyable Zoo TV show. Who says exceess ain't cool.

ATTENTION THE ACTUNG SESSIONS. Nice collection of studio outtakes - these guys are real good in case you didn't know.

SALOME: THE ACTUNG BABY SESSIONS (2) Very good alternate takes, outtakes, instrumentals. Superb listening.

THE WORKING TAPES. Evesdropping never been this fun, it's a blast listening into the creation process of the actung album.

SHALOM ISRAEL (2) SEPTEMBER 30, 1997. Tel Aviv, Israel. Slick taping - its a sharp soundboard. Shalom lads. Great stuff. "Bullet" is recast a bit funkier than usual. There are some setlist misses, but it's fun. I don't get a cover Abba's "Dancing Queen." Simply no.

POPMART MIAMI SOUNDBOARD. November 14, 1997 (2) Miami, Florida. Immense soundboard. So frickin good. It just is flat out incredible.

LIVE AT FARMCLUB.COM. October 27, 2000. Los Angeles, California. TV gig and a good one. 5 Song set performed well.

DECEMBER 5, 2000. Irving Place, New York City. Interrupted between songs with radio ID's, this is a fabulous, clean show - closing with "You Won't Get Fooled Again."

MARCH 29, 2001 (2) Charlotte, North Carolna. Ears adjusted quickly enough for these Irish lads. Terrific show.

FINDING MY RELIGION (2) March 30, 2001. Atlanta, Georgia. Wowee Zowee. Terrific.

SECOND NIGHT IN CALGARY (2) APRIL 10, 2001. Calgary, Canada. A Shite recording. Blah.

LOVE THIS TOWN, CHICAGO TOWN (2) May 15, 2001, Chicago, Illinois. Soundboard/ALD recording with the first 2 songs ruined due to source/tech problems with volume, then it's perfect. Incredible and warm. At the end of the listen you realize that this is a top shelf band in all their glory.

OUT OF CONTROL (2) May 26, 2005. Boston, Massachusetts. Shitty taping, just couldn't make it thru. Maybe it's not that terrible, but why bother.

June 6, 2001. Boston, Massachusetts. Middling audience taping of a band at or near it's peak. I saw this show and the boot doesn't
do the night justice.

JULY 9, 2001 (2) Stockholm, Sweden. Rock and roll, babe. Good audience taping and Bono was singing well all nite long. Fine work, lads - love it.

JULY 10, 2001 (2) Stockholm, Sweden. 2nd night and another super show. Well recorded. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

OCTOBER 25, 2001 (2) New York City. Soundboad and a beaut. 45 days after WTC Top shelf.

CLINTON LIBRARY/BROOKLYN BRIDGE PERFORMANCES 2004. 3 Tunes + praise for Bill and then the 4 bit perfect rock tunes announcing the tour at the Brooklyn Bridge. It's a gas.

May 24, 2005 (2) Boston, Massachusetts. An enjoyable show, but just a decent taping. I attended this one so it has to be on my shelf.

JUNE 4, 2005 (2) Solid show, no setist info.

AUGUST 11, 2005 (2) Madrid, Spain. Spectacular show. A sweet audience taping. Explosive! Amazing! Dynamic! Cool!

OCTOBER 4, 2005 (2) Boston, Massachusetts. While certainly another audience taping this one has a bit more warmth and feel that the other one. Captured all of the magic I saw.

OCTOBER 17, 2005 (2) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Another superlative show, great listening -- they are magical, man. Bruce Springsteen droops by to help out on "People Get Ready."

DECEMBER 9, 2005 (2) Buffalo, New York. Marred slightly by a little too much chatter, the music is still captured well. A Terrific "Elevation" among its highlights. Bono is cool.

NOVEMBER 11, 2006 Auckland, New Zealand. Untenable recording. Not worthy.

DECEMBER 4, 2006 (2) Saitama, Japan. Just love the tour. Nice soundboard. It's all good.

ROLLING STONE INTERVIEW PODCAST. (3) Bono interviewed by Jann Wenner for 2 hours or so downlaoded from Itunes -- in case you missed it. Great stuff about childhood, influences, lots of Dylan discussion, world poverty, aids and sunglasses.

NO LINE ON HORIZON. PROMOTIONAL TOUR: FEBRUARY/MARCH 2009 (2) Collection of various TV shows and other gigs done to promote the album's release. All in crystal clear sound. You get about a dozen versions of "Boots" a few more than I need.

JUNE 30, 2009 (2) Barcelona, Spain. Opening show of the 360 Tour. Well, it's only an acceptable taping. Bono, as always, eager to please seems to always find a way to do so. Hope they keep "Angel of Harlem" in the setlist each night. A few too many "Horizon" tunes though they seem to sound better live than on the overcooked album.

JULY 7, 2009 (2) Milan, Italy. Very good audience taping, memo to Bono, you can change the setlist and drop a couple of "Horizon" tunes. With that said, it's thoroughly enjoyable.

AUGUST 20, 2009 (2) Sheffield, UK. Superb radio broadcast. It's kicks. It swings. It dances. Love these guys.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 (2) Foxborough, Massachusetts. Very good audience taping of a terrific show. I attended it and my cheap obstructed view seat got upgraded to prime seating. Thanks boys.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2010 (2) Zurich, Switzerland. Very sharp recording and another superb show by these guys. Bono: he's a shameless shaman and frontman but an amazing one.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2010 (2) San Sebastian, Spain. Spectatcular audience recording. Very enjoyable

OCTOBER 8, 2010 (2) Rome, Italy. Another example of how an audience taping - even one with chat around the taper - can be exhilirating.

JANUARY 18, 2011 (2) Cape Town, South Africa. Radio broadcast as two big files as the tracks were not split up. Wonderful show with an inspired and engaged band.

GLASTONBERRY 2011 (2) June 24, 2011. Super show - soundboarder - from the legendary festival. Smashing good time.

JULY 30, 2011 (2) Moncton, Canada. Superb soundboard - I think radio broadcast. I think that this tour has generated like 300 billion dollars.
