Performance

Very good performance from the Vertigo Tour with some unique features in the entire performance and despite not being flawless due to the band flubbing and making other mistakes in places such as Bono forgetting lyrics in songs such as Walk On this is still a great one in my opinion and when everything is working the band seem to be giving it their all on this night in Chicago so definitely a fine performance here.

Sound

Pretty solid audience recording but due to glitches that happened in some spots of the recording, I'm sadly going to give this a three-star rating due to these glitches being really annoying when they happened during songs such as Love And Peace Or Else and One for example which put me off a bit from the performances.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Audience

Standard audience who seem to be engaged and participate in songs by clapping and singing along.

Overall

Quite an awesome performance on the Vertigo tour and in fact, my first ever show from the tour, and despite a few problems here and there the band are definitely having fun in this one, the setlist is also pretty nice with rare inclusions such as Discotheque which, is, unfortunately, the last time on the tour and the tour debuts of Walk On and For The First Time which is cool to hear from this show.
The highlights from this performance for me were as follows:
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation
The Electric Co.
The Ocean
Walk On tour debut!
Love And Peace Or Else
Bullet The Blue Sky
Discotheque
The Fly nice snippet of Daddy's Gonna Pay from Zooropa as well!
The First Time
