I was listening to Denver 11.08.87 today started wondering who is in control of the backing tracks?
I always assumed it was someone under the stage or at the mixing console (a removed party), but now i'm not so sure.
listening to this concert specifically, i was amazed how WOWY started with the backing track and Larry at the exact precise same moment. I listened to it a couple times and it seems too perfectly timed for an outside party to be pressing play and for Larry to react at that exact split second.
The logic behind it dicates it must be a band member. I mean how would an outsider know when the band needs an extra few seconds to catch their breath, or a sip of water.
In conclusion, i think it makes sense that it is either controlled by a footpedel on Edge's unit, OR perhaps by Larry. (i have seen u2 tribute bands where the fake Larry was the one starting the tracks- but in the end i guess this means nothing)
Anyone know for sure????
