Performance:
I love this performance. The band is really on fire and Bono's voice is beautiful. If I had only half of the voice he had this gig I'd still be singing in an opera. Beautiful Day, Mysterious Ways, Kite, In A Little While, Bad, Streets, BTBS and The Fly are just awesome. A great performance of SIAMYCGOO dedicated to Herman Brood, a dutch artist who committed suicide back then. The other songs are awesome too.
BTW There's a great speech in the intermezzo of SBS. I love the way how Bono tells about the G8-summit in Genua and the way he yells that he's ANGRY! A real must-hear.
Audience:
Just listen to In A Little While and Bad.
Sound:
Great sound, especially the Bono earpiece recording is great.
Overall:
It's definitely one of my favorite boots, maybe even my top-favorite. The performance is just awesome, it's a great setlist and another nice detail (to me) is that it's in Arnhem, which is near where I live. The sound is perfect and the audience is really good. No real down-sides to me...except that the sound during Elevation is still a bit weird...you can hardly hear the The Edge, but it gets better after that.

Performance:
I can only rate Bono,cause I could not hear anyone else.He gets a 4.Larrys drums sound like they were recorded in the parking lot.You cant hear Adams bass AT ALL.
Audience:
You cant hear them at ALL..not a peep from the Earpiece recording.
Sound:
Maybe a 3.You hear Bono fine..his voice is loud and clear.Only plroblem is THATS ALL you can hear.NYD,you cant hear Adam....You can hear the 1234 count in..then sounds like a 1 audience recording with Bonos voice loud and clear.Sounds..strange.I deleted this boot from my comp after listening to half the show..waiting for the sound to improve,it didnt.I dont know how anyone can say this is a good boot.The SOUND of Chicago 05/16/01 is way better,so is the setlist from that gig as well.
Overall:
Well you cant hear anyone but Bono.I have many boots from this tour..and ALL of them sound better.I wanted a good sounding boot from Europe,I will stick with Slane 09-01-01.
