Performance:
This show was more electric than Dublin in fact. The energy factor from Bono was amazing. There were no holds barred here and the audience could feel it and responded to it. Excellent performance. This tour bar far excells Vertigo but I can't say why. It just does.
Audience:
The audience were blown away by this one. I know I was there. I also just realised for the first time that I like to hear the odd comment over the music and that's because it's like being there. It brings the moment alive again.
Sound:
The bootleg sound is not too bad at all. There are parts where the sound is a bit inconsistent but overall it is really not a bad sound at all considering this show has a bit of an echo and the bass is rather too much. Due to the roof being partially closed it seems.
Overall:
I love this bootleg because it's so alive. It makes me feel like I am there again.

Performance:
Just awesome!
Audience:
so alive (I was there ^^)
Sound:
the quality is not bad but sometimes we can hear too much the guy(s) who sing near the recorder...
Overall:
Maybe it's because I was there and it's remind me this awesome night.... But we can still feel the magic of U2 in the beatiful stadium when we listen this bootleg!

Performance:
Incredible,
i turned out 40 that night and my wife made a message for Bono (we were standing next to the runway). After magnificent you can hear Bono say "can't read" and During City of blinding lights he reads it again and sings my name "Oh Lieven, so beautiful tonight". The day after we met Bono at his hotel. What a great weekend! So thx for the recording, now i have my own U2 version of City and an incredible souvenir.
Audience:
What an athmosphere on my birthdayparty...

Audience:
Audience in London isn't that enthousiastic as they are at other European gigs like Amsterdam, Poland, Zagreb and Southern Europe.
Sound:
Too much voices and noise from the crowd.
Overall:
I've been at this concert, the crowd was a bit dissapointing and in this perticular recording you can hear too much of them talking and singing false...

Performance:
just amazing gig, electric energy
Audience:
could occasionally have been little more supporting in singing, but then again, just listen to Still Haven't Found what I am looking for'...adn you know just how special this was.
Sound:
Great source, may just could do with a remaster with little less bass and some more emphasis on guitar...but hey...minor details, very very greatful instead!
Overall:
even located behind stage on 'budget' seats the sound was amazing, the performance magnificent...just a night to remember and treasure forever!

Performance:
My first U2 gig so i can't compare but my first impression was "DAMN they play loud!"
They played even louder then when i saw Metallica :p
They were awesome (U2)
Audience:
I was almost al in the back of Wembley but i had a great view. I could see everything. with songs like Elevation i saw the crowd jumping like it was a Rage Against The Machine concert (and sorry for comparing U2 to other gigs I've been to xD)
Sound:
I love the quality of the sound but the whole bootleg is ruined by the cracking sound at the intro of Breathe
Overall:
Best concert i've ever seen and the loudest too

Performance:
The 2 gigs the band played in London are fantastic.Bono seems very ..into...the show.Its hard to explain.I have seen the band live many times since the 80's,but you can tell when he's "into" the show.At this show he is very excited and even oversinging at times.NLOTH he sounds like he cant control himself.Bono thanks London for being there for the band in the early days.Some cities bring out the best in this band.Ireland,Amsterdam,London,Spain,NYC,Chicago,Boston.This is one of them.
Audience:
You can hear them,but this recording does not do the Brits justice.The European fans are very pasionate and intense.ISHFWILF is amazing.
Sound:
I listened to this show right after Chicago,09.12.09.This show is very loud.But not in a good way.Bonos voice has alot of echo in it.The band is muffled,muddy.Its a good boot,but the recording is too loud.But worth it to have.Chris Voynets recording is very good.Night 2 is a bit better from him.He did great for both shows.Manys thanks Chris.
Overall:
I have always liked the bands shows in London.The Wembley shows from Zooropa come to mind.Bono said, in the early days of the band,they would go to London with something to prove.I think they still feel that way in a sense.Magnificent,NLOTH,Stuck In A Moment,and of course UF are standouts.

Sound:
The Matrix is a very impressive work from Arnoud! Both sources (M!les + Voynet) are not the best. There are lots of echoes in both recordings, so it's very difficult to find a good way to mix them up. But Arnoud did it well. I only give 4.5 stars cause of the echoes. But it's not Arnouds fault. Both nights London 1+2 have to much echoes. Pity.
Overall:
Great matrix, I already heard it 2 times and I like it very much. Thanks to Arnoud for the super work on it!

Performance:
It was a really good and clean performance. The Wembley shows are known to be some of the best 360 shows. Doesn't beat Sheffield at the moment though. The reason why I gave 4.5 and not 5 was because sometimes Bono's voice was off. There were a couple of noticeable mistakes as well. NLOTH songs were the best. No Line on the Horizon, Get on Your Boots and Unknown Caller are the NLOTH songs to look out for.
Audience:
Excellent audience. Singing and shouting out in a 90,000 seater stadium is just brilliant.
Sound:
The sound was really good, not perfect. It wasn't perfect because of some crackiling. It wasn't completely clean.
Overall:
It was a superb bootleg, some things let it down though. The sound wasn't clean, there were tiny mistakes and Bono's voice was sometimes a little off. Nevertheless, it doesn't bring down it's overall rating that much.
