Performance

As good a performance as there was from the band's most recent tour. The show almost reminded me of the days of Lovetown, when the band went out to play their music and actually enjoy themselves whilst they were at it. Terrific feel throughout the main set, not to mention the inspired (if short-lived) idea to open with Love And Peace Or Else - the minute the intro. almost seeps out of the PA - and no doubt, the band wander on stage - the crowd go insane, and stay that way throughout. Also, I have to make a note of what I consider to be the greatest Vertigo encore around, and perhaps contender for best encore ever - exhilirating version of The Fly, best rendition of UTEOTW from the entire tour (have to mention Bono's quick attempt at an Arnie impression when he sings "You know I love the element of surprise), not to mention the terrific manner in which it segues into WGRYWH as in the days of old (i.e. ZooTV). If you aren't a fan of the Vertigo tour, I'd suggest having a listen to this - if this doesn't change your mind, I'm not sure much will.

Sound

Not great, 3 -> 3.5 star at a push if one feels particularly generous. A bit fuzzy on occasions and when pushed too hard, the bass farts, but it doesn't detract too much from the show in general. Not terrific, but nonetheless listenable.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Overall

Definitely one of the best Vertigo shows there is - U2 at their best in their most recent guise. A brilliant example of a U2 arena show at full tilt.
