Performance

The bootleg opens with the George Bush-rap, which was typical for this American/Canadian leg of the tour. Its was election night in the U.S.A. and Bill Clinton was to be the winner. Funny to hear Bush doing the “we will, we will, rock you” again. As the crowd are screaming louder, you just know Bono is appearing in front of the interference on the screen to start Zoo Station. I can see it in my head all over again; those were the days….
It’s an easy and comfortable performance tonight; it was the second night in Vancouver: time to loosen up and enjoy the gig themselves. That pleasure is what you hear in the performance. Strong rendition of The Fly, followed by watching TV and offcourse Even Better Than The Real Thing. “Achtung Y’all! “ sounds passionfull, but from a sore throat. Edge’s solos are magical and solid. Mysterious Ways, is nice to hear with complete Edge-solo again, the solo that I missed so much on the 360-tour…. And yes, Bono manages the falsetto-parts. One is good and has strong vocals, including “Can you hear me coming Lord?”, which is beautifull! She's A Mystery To Me is actually quite long I think. Until The End Of The World is pretty standard, nothing extra-ordinary. New Year's Day is in place, although by now I get a little irritated by the screaming crowd. Bono’s extra lines at the beginning are cool! THE coolest part of this night is Larry singing Wild Rover. for two whole verses and refrains! Good on him, let’s try that again on the next club-tour!
The next mentionable bit is When Love Comes To Town, because Adam (!) sings a whole verse of it (the last verse), far too fast for Larry and Edge to follow. Rumour has it by the way, that Larry also added vocals to Dancing Queen tonight, but that is really indistinguishable. Bad is ruined by the foolish people who scream senselessly. I like a bit of enthousiasm, but really….
Bullet The Blue Sky is Angry. “Americaaaaaaaaaaa!” Just before Edge’s solo (at 1:45) you can hear Bono mumble: “ Goodbye George Bush, I don’t think we’ll miss you that much!”
Before I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Bono remarks that he’s glad that U2 added a second Vancouver show as it “fucked up the scalpers”. Stand By Me is pretty special. I listened to that a few more times. Desire has Bono stating: “ I don’t wanna be Elvis tonight, I wanna be Bono tonight. You love me for who I am, don’t you? I don’t have to pull on al this shit for you, do I?”
With Or Without You is excellent, including the right snippets (you know which ones I mean). Love Is Blindess is THE highlight, but it has been on the whole of this tour. Can't Help Falling In Love is a real treat.


Sound

4 stars, I find to be correct. It’s pretty clear in general.

Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Decent audience, I think. I don’t like the senseless screaming, arguing and talking, but that is just for a few songs. It’s tragic that Bad is ruined, but overall there is nice crowd participation.



Overall

Those were the days for good setlists! Really spirited and tight performance, with humour. Ecellent guitar work, and you gotta love Larry and Adam singing!!

Highlights:
- Larry singing!
- Solo in Mysterious Ways
- One
- Fool To Cry snippet
- With Or Without You
- Love Is Blindess

Not so good:
- The screaming and arguing fools in the crowd
