Performance

This is one of those shows when the band aren't disinterested (personally, I don't think they ever truly are), but moreso that the crowd are far more in the mood than the guys themselves. The show really takes time to gain some momentum, but once it does I really started to enjoy it. The first few songs are missing that energy, despite the fact that you'd expect the first part of the mainset to do precisely that - get the show on the road, as it were. New York was great, I have to say the more I listen to this song, the more I fall in love with it. It's not your normal fare, but it keeps surprising me with its live qualities. I Will Follow really got the show underway, and Sunday Bloody Sunday was one of the most exhilirating performances I've heard in a long time - Bono's "no more!" speech was just incredible for me; I know we all know he's one for big powerful speeches, but this was up there with the "fuck the revolution!" Denver speech for me. Stuck In A Moment was pretty good, Edge was in his element with his beautiful guitar part. The B-stage set was great fare in my opinion - a really moving version of In A Little While, Desire was great and Stay (Faraway, So Close!) was really on the money for me. Tis a strange thing to think that 2 men and an acoustic can hold the attention of 80,000+ people in one of the largest football stadiums in Europe with voice and strings alone, but my God they did. However, after this, the show started to get lost on the wayside...Bad was, well, rather eponymous in my opinion. I may seem harsh but Bono's voice was fading fast, and he was really straining every sinew to keep on going, and Where The Streets Have No Name suffered similarly. Mysterious Ways and The Fly were pretty good, but suffered from the aforementioned decline of Bono's voice.

The encore was pretty good; a decent version of Bullet The Blue Sky - a great solo from Monsieur L'Edge - followed by a rousing rendition of With Or Without You, although at this point the crowd singing came back to haunt me...Wake Up Deadman was fantastic in my opinion - for some reason, Bono's vocal decline actually made this all the more haunting and emotional, and I actually had tears in my eyes for a bit. Heartbreaking stuff, it really was. Walk On was great, but Pride (In The Name Of Love) wasn't so much. Good fun, but I'm thinking the guys' musicianship jumped ship and popped down the pub for 5 minutes as the song came to its conclusion - it made me grin, but it sure wasn't their finest moment! Out Of Control was good fun, but out of place - such an energetic song is main set fare, preferably in the first 5-6 songs. Such as it is, it fitted the nature of the show - full of promise, but out of sorts.


Sound

Not really too much to say on the sound. My first thoughts were that the 3-star rating was slightly harsh, but in hindsight it's bang on - the band are audible, but to a limited degree. It's nothing like the Adelaide Lovetown show we reviewed recently, it's clear and sharp but Adam's bass isn't very loud and the drums sometimes lose some 'oomph'. The other qualm which I had was the audience - I like my audience recordings on the whole, but on occasions you get ones such as these where the crowd in the viscinity is too audible at times. Now, I'm a fairly liberal kind of guy BUT I really wish that if members of the crowd are going to sing along, SING IN KEY! Such an gripe, although personal on my part, is further aggrivated when said crowd members drown out the band in full swing...examples of this being large parts of Until The End Of The World, New Year's Day, Where The Streets Have No Name, The Fly and With Or Without You.

Other than that, I don't have any issues with it...

Overall

Well, it's a good show for easy listening, but that's part of the problem - you're not genuinely grabbed by it in anyway until I Will Follow, a good half an hour into the show. The sound is average, but very much listenable. As such, I wouldn't call it a must-have show, nor is it one for someone looking for a really good Elevation tour show on a par with Slane or South Bend BUT it's a good show to fill out your collection. Don't make it a priority, but just sit back and listen (as long as you're not too fussy about off-key crowd singing!)
