setlist

Performance notes: Out Of Control makes its Vertigo Tour debut. Its appearance is spontaneous; at the end of Until The End Of The World, the band are going into With Or Without You when Bono calls for Out Of Control. While Edge scrambles for the right guitar, Bono has to yell Adam Clayton's name multiple times to get his attention.

Performance

Some flubs here and there- "Original of the Species", notably, but even that song ended up being one of my favorites.

The band really related this show to the crowd, and performed as one with their audience. People- including U2 themselves- have said that the American city to see the band in is New York...but I think based on the shows I've heard, I'd be making a pilgrimage to Boston before NYC. These shows are always magical. This is no exception.

Sound

Not bad at all- typical Vertigo 4-star show. Nothing to rave about, and no complaints either.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Great crowd- audible, never annoying. I'd like to hear them singing along just a tad bit more though; a bit more echo after Bono's vocal.

Overall

Great, great show. Really captures some energy. The setlist is really perfect, with some great performances of songs that didn't get a ton of Vertigo play, and Bono's voice sounding great. Edge is also really good on this recording.

Highlights:

-"Gloria" sounds like it was written for this tour in this performance. Sounds awesome.
-Extended outro of "One"...Bono talks to the crowd a little bit while Edge plays his solo, and then they go into their little call-and-response chant to end the song. Really lovely
-"Running to Stand Still"- possibly my favorite Vertigo performance of this
-"Original of the Species" wasn't bad; there are several screwups but they are humorous and the good parts are still great.
-"Bad". Need I say more? Perfect show closer. Snippet of "40" leaves the audience completely alone and singing, and then Edge ever-so-subtly comes back in, and the rest of the band carries "Bad" right back out til the end. Magnificent!
