1997-09-23 - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Kosevo Stadium


setlist

Performance notes: Sunday Bloody Sunday was performed solo by The Edge for the first time and was played in this manner for the rest of the Popmart Tour. Miss Sarajevo was played with Brian Eno. U2 visited Sarajevo to fulfill a promise made during the Zoo TV Tour to play in war-ravaged Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was the first concert the band played in any country that was formerly part of Yugoslavia; the second did not take place until 9 August 2009 in Zagreb, Croatia.

Performance

My very first review...I hope you like it!

Okay, this gig was probably the most emotional and one of the best gigs of the PopMart-tour. Bono's voice was a bit raw and not really great, but his voice was terrible the entire PopMart-tour IMO....Awesome stuff were Mofo/I Will Follow (really like those two combined!) UTEOTW, BTBS and the ending of LNOE, which was THE highlight of every PopMart-show!

But personally I like PopMart Santiago way better. If you had to choose between those two, I would always choose Santiago, 'cause Bono IS on fire there...
Still a solid 5-star performance!

Sound

Simply great...
Recording: "Sarajevo [noiseless remaster]" - 5 stars

Audience

The crowd was unbelievably great, but I got the feeling that South-American audiences are way louder...Still, we're talking Sarajevo in war and that's what makes this boot even more remarkble...

Overall

Highlights: Awesome Mofo/I Will Follow, same for UTEOTW....but THE highlight is SBS>BTBS>Please>Streets. Simply amazing....Probably the best BTBS of the entire tour...Discotheque, Miss Sarajevo, HMTMKMKM and One are very good too

Lowlights: There certainly were a few lowlights. EBTTRT is not cool, same for AIWIY and SATS...
And a personal note: I dislike ISHFWILF....
And the last lowlight was Mysterious Ways. I loved the MW's from PopMart, but this one just didn't 'got' me...

Still a great gig, which you should have listened too...

I hope you liked my review!
