Performance:
Absolubtly amazing performance from all the band!
Audience:
The audience is quiet on this recording compared to other bootlegs
Sound:
very impressed by the quality of this one, for me it beats 7/7 Milan and 18/7 Berlin in sound quality
Overall:
This is my number 1 bootleg now, it used to be milan 7/7. Highlights Unforgettable Fire, Unknown Caller (password = crokepark)  with or without you/shine like stars and Bad/fool to cry

Performance:
This is U2 at home. Bono is relaxed and therefore the performance just flows. I was amazed that some of the older songs such as Stay and TUF could be reproduced with such perfection.
Audience:
It's difficult to review an audience without being there at the show. But I always think that an excellent performance by this band is going to have bounced off a really good audience.
Sound:
This has to be the best audience bootleg I have ever heard.
Overall:
In my opinion this tour is going to be better than Vertigo. I would play this bootleg over and over again but tend to usually go back to Elevation and before when choosing which one to play. I was at Sat 25th so I am waiting for that one to appear. But sadly Bad which is my all time favourite was played on 24th & 27th. Can't have everything now can we. Thanks so much to taper Alysha. This bootleg is superb.

Performance:
Great performance. Bono's vocals are in top form.
Audience:
Kind of quiet, but if you are into the music, and not the audience, it is perfect....
Sound:
It doesn't get much better than this for an Audience Bootleg.
Overall:
Great show. Always something special about a Home Town Show!!!

Performance:
This was a superb gig, but I am going to compare to a couple of other U2 gigs I have been to, and say that it was not the most outstanding. I understand the contradiction in terms - simply put, I have seen them perform better. A few unforgivable bum notes from the Hedge - but I don't think anyone noticed.... :-)
Audience:
Apart from the wee scrote that hurled the bottle of urine - not at me, but managed a splash on my coat - the audience was superb. Bouncing! (PS I gave the scrote a kicking after the gig.)
Sound:
This is a GREAT sounding boot. For an audience recording it is superb - kudos to Alysha.
Overall:
It was all good in my hood that night - a superb evening, and this is a brilliant souvenir of the gig. Thanks, Alysha!!!

Performance:
I had written this show off as the weakest f the 5 I had attended. But the more I listen to the stunning bootleg, the more I appreciate it. Yes Bono's voice was close to breaking but that voice works for the majority of songs (not Stay though). Massive energy from the opening 4 songs), a tour debut with New Year's Day, Stay and the best Ultraviolet to daye. Great gig. Bad was a little uninspired though
Audience:
Best crowd of the 3 Dublin nights. Great atmosphere, endless Mexican Waves, noisy, active.
Sound:
Like the tapers Milan 1 recording. The Mics are amazing. Great clarity, great punch. Best bootleg of the tour
Overall:
Must have bootleg. Great atmosphere, recording and performance. Possibly the best of this tours Irish shows. Get it

Performance:
Thought the Monday wasn't as good as the 2 preceeding gigs.Some good moments but overall felt Bono interacted less than he did the previous 2 shows.Stay Far away and Bad were most definatly the highlightsfor me
Audience:
Got stuck in the Hogan on front of some "sit down you're blocking my view" people and a lot of people more interested in getting into the bars.Pitchwise the crowd seemed excellent
Sound:
Definatly the best bootleg of the tour so far ,this even beats the Barcelona one.
Overall:
Highlights for me are Stay ,Bad,Ultraviolet,Pride ,Walk on,Unforgetable Fire

Performance:
I know people complained about Bono's voice, but I thought this was a great show! Probably my favourite of the tour so far
Audience:
wasn't there, so can't really say to be honest
Sound:
EXCELLENT sound! one of the best recordings of the tour so far without doubt!
Overall:
Great performances of the following:
Breathe
No Line on the Horizon
New Year's Day
I Still Haven't Found
Ultraviolet (Best performance of the tour so far, the guitaring during the chorus totally makes up for the missing falsetto!)
Streets
One

Performance:
Really good performance overall. Great versions of NLOTH, GOYB, Magnificent, Unknown Caller, Unforgettable Fire and Crazy Tonight. Ultra Violet and Moment of Surrender are also great. One let down was Edge fluffed the guitar a little of Breath.
Audience:
Can't really hear the audience much which is fine with me.
Sound:
Overall very good, although the sound starts out louder for the first half of Breath and then drops slightly for the remainder of the recording. Compared to Paris 1 I don't have to turn the volume up much to enjoy this one.
Overall:
Not the absolute best bootleg due to some little issues with the first song Breath (volume drops and Edge mistake) but the rest of the recording is great and I have it on repeat in my car.

Performance:
Very energetic..band is into it..as they should be playing in Dublin.The new songs sound fresh,Boots,NLOTH,UC .TUF I think is THE song of the tour so far.They havent played it since the 1989 Lovetown tour,so it has been a pleasant surprise.Edge really messes up Breathe.He hits a couple of wrong notes and it sounds way off there for a moment..During NYD,Bono sings the "newspaper says its true" line 2 times.But NYD sounds very good,and has alot of punch to it.Even with the 2 miscues there,this is a fantastic performance.A great homecoming.ISHFWILF..has alot of energy and passion.
Audience:
Great.People from all over the world.Bono seems pleased at all the flags from different nations,seeing U2 in Dublin.He seems humbled by this.Great audience.
Sound:
As far as an audience bootleg,this is AS GOOD AS IT GETS.I try to stay away from these, cause the sound most of the time is not good.But..this sounds very good,nobody is screaming over the music..the cheers are in the right spots.Bonos voice is very,very clear.(Sheffield of course is the best so far, being that it was broadcast by the BBC).This show is the best audience on this tour hands down.
Overall:
I love this show.The bootleg sounds great.Doesnt even feel like a bootleg.A great recording,of U2 in a great city.Grab this forthwith......Highlights are many..UF,Stay,NYD,UV,All the new songs..great show.The lowlights..there are none IMO.The band break up the setlist a bit on this one..adding Bad,NYD,Stay..great setlist..better than the BBC Broadcast from Sheffield.Im seeing the band both nights at Giants stadium 09/23 & 09/24..cant wait..cheers
