Performance: The guys were on Popmart-fire that night and you can hear this actually throughout every single song of the concert. Edge was in extraordinarily superb playing mood and Bono both a true entertainer (eg "Even Better...", "Last Night On Earth" or "Hold Me Thrill Me...") and humbled guy who isn't afraid of showing his feelings ("Still Haven't Found" or "One"). Audience: The audience was VERY into it and showed their enthusiasm and love at various times, best notable during "Desire", "Pride", "Still Haven't Found..." and "Mysterious Ways". Sound: Clear, gapless, great balance. What more could you ask for ? Overall: No lows, just highs really! This was one of the first bootlegs I listened to and is since then my fave one because it really started my fandom and can be seen (actually both heard and watched!) as a perfect example of how great a U2 concert is. Although it's hard to, some of my personal stand out songs here are "Mofo" as it is the best live version of the song ever (imo)! I love especially Bono's greatly flowing singing and the little improvs he does here, too. "I Will Follow" is a top notch performance as well. When I first heard this live version of I Will Follow, I was really blown away by the distinct difference from the 'normal' version. Simply Popmart-style. "Pride" because of the passion the audience brings. When you watch the DVD you can see how impressed Bono is because he purposely stops starting singing the 3rd verse. "Still Haven't Found" because if the audience (again), Bono's emotional talk and the powerful and emotional live rendition itself. "All I Want Is You" because of the "Never Tear Us Apart" snippet. I remember clearly that the first time I listened to this I wasn't aware of Bono sometimes singing snippets from other songs, and when I suddenly heard him singing the lines from this INXS song I was close to tears for its power and meaning. "Desire" ... priceless: Bono forgetting lyrics and trying to save his ass with "La Bamba" ....so to speak. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" has Edge singing it solo, only armed with his acoustic guitar. Awesome! "Bullet The Blue Sky" from this concert is my fave Popmart rendition. Awesome guitar by the Edge! "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" as it is pure, mean rock by U2 . Great lyrics, great live. "Mysterious Ways" for Edge's funky play/moves and Bono's singing at the end. And "One" rather obviously for the Michael Hutchence reference and emotional performance.

Performance: The band were having a really good time that night. You can tell in the performances. Full of energy. Perfect Audience: Audience were in great form, singing along to lots of songs. Very positive audience. Sound: No flaws at all. Very Very Very Very Very Very Very clear. Best radio broadcast ever in sound and you wouldn't even notice bullet was from another soruce. This audio is just as good as the audio on the DVD and yet it is not a rip. Overall: High - Mofo: Great version with great bass and guitar - I Will Follow: Love the way Edge has a slidy effect on his guitar - Gone: Drums are brilliant - Desire: Sounds great acoustic - Discotheque: Much better than on the album - HMTMKMKM: Just amazing Lows THERE ARE NONE. ABSOLUTLEY NONE!!!

Performance: Great performance! I love Mofo, I Will Follow, EBTTRT, LNOE, and New Year's Day from this show! This entire gig was filled with excitement and energy. Great fusion of the audience and the band. The music is just wonderful! Audience: Really into it. Especially during New Year's Day! They played a big part in the show. Sound: Couldn't ask for better sound quality!!! Great job guys! Overall: Overall terrific performance. All the way from the PopMuzik intro to Edge going solo on Sunday Bloody Sunday and the Discotheque encore! Great job. I love to listen to this on long trips. The only thing I don't like is that I don't get Bullet for some reason. If anyone has a file for me It'd be greatly appreciated.

Performance: One of the best shows from the tour.I would put this maybe..fourth.Behind Sarajevo,Santiago and Leeds.Bonos voice,unlike Sarajevo,is in fantastic form.New Years Day,the classic tune sounds great and fresh.His voice on this one ,makes it one of its best recordings .MOFO and ALL of the POP tunes sound great live. Audience: They are going wild. Sound: Mint. Overall: Sarajevo is THE show from this tour.I give Mexico a solid 4 1/2.Highlights are the POP songs,Bloody Sunday and the great version of New Years Day.

barryrogers2009
Performance: They were great. Audience: Yep, very good. Sound: I have to be honest, when I saw all the '5 star' reviews for this bootleg I was expecting really good quality sound. I was actually quite disappointed. While the sound is OK (it is after all from a radio/tv broadcast) it really is not all that good. Throughout the mix is pretty poor, the drums and bass especially getting drowned out by the rest. MoFo is a prime example, where the heavy backing track simply overwhelms everything else. The bootlegs from Sarajevo and Santiago have, on the whole, better sound than this, and the soundboard from Miami if you're OK to listen to a gig with no audience. Overall: Let down a bit by the sound for me (see above). For the best recording of this particular concert the DVD is still your best bet.

KieranU2
Performance: Top notch performance by the band! No mistakes, every song perfect. Easily a 5-star. Audience: The best audience I've ever heard for a U2 concert. They were brilliant. Especially during All I Want Is You. I was blown away. Sound: This part is only rated, not commented on. Overall: No lows at all. Everything was a highlight. Stuff to look out for are All I Want Is You, Last Night on Earth, Discotheque, If You Wear That Velvet Dress, With or Without You, Mysterious Ways, One, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, Pride, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Mofo, Even Better Than The Real Thing and Until The End of the World. Most brilliant Popmart concert.
