Performance:
This is the one that everyone is and will keep talking about. Youtube and U2 pushed the limits and pulled it off in fine style. The band can only top this now by playing on the moon
Audience:
Audience full of energy, Great Crowd
Sound:
Faultless for a live stream
Overall:
Saw them at Wembley this year which was awesome but this was just as good, worth waiting up all night to watch. Well done Youtube and U2

Performance:
A great performance. For the first time I like Breathe as a starter song.
Audience:
The audience responded well to the concert. They sang with their souls!
Sound:
Youtube sent an excellent sound for all. I'm waiting from a 6 stars bootleg.
Overall:
Well, I have only good memories from Rose Bowl (Brazil won the 1994 World Cup there) and it is another one. Thanks for all, U2 and Youtube.

Performance:
Unbelievable night!!! This was by far the most "on" I have seen the band in the last decade at least. Bono's voice is amazing...much better than the previous 3 tours. Seemed to have a ton of energy the whole show...the entire band was in great form.
Audience:
Great crowd...could not believe the sight of almost 100,000 fans...the place was packed! Much better to see this than back in the PopMart days of half-filled stadiums in the US. We were dead center in the middle between the main stage and the walkway...amazing that this time all you had to do was get there early and they let you in. All the fans in the center were full of positive energy...everyone enjoyed the music and themselves.
Sound:
Great...too bad the volume goes down in the beginning when they are going to be taking the stage. but, the quality is probably the best of all the boots so far...already can't wait for the DVD to just play it to hear the audio!
Overall:
You must get this for the quality and the historical factor. As said above, this is one that will be talked about for a long, long time. The best part about this night (of course, besides the euphoria of being there) was getting an e-mail from the fan club announcing more US dates next summer!!!

Performance:
They were on...the crowd was really good....
Audience:
Crowd could have been louder, but they were very good.
Sound:
As good as it gets...
Overall:
The boot should have been a 5 star. EASILY!!! I can deal with the up and down volume on the intro tracks (we can blame that on the crew adjusting their sound), but the highlight of the show for me (Amazing Graze Bono solo intro into Streets) was cut off....other than that the bootleg was great...

Audience:
Was at both Chicago shows and with smaller crowds at each, Chicago was 2 times louder. Very dissapointed at a lame quiet crowd. Bono seemed to be a bit dissapointed at times.

Lo was no In You Blue Room. Hi was a smoking version of Until The End Of The World

Performance:
Ok, first off let me say this is a review of the bootleg. Yes I was there but I took about a week of listening to the boot before I reviewed it. I needed to get over that glow of the show and really listen to it.
The band was good but clearly they are a bit off: Sunday Bloody Sunday. What happened there?
Audience:
Strong. Loud when they needed to be.
Sound:
Its good, it could have been better. Sheffield is much better.
Overall:
Overall, a SAFE, EASY show. Nothing dangerous, just the songs. This show will be the show that is remembered and the one everyone will be talking about still when the tour ends......

Performance:
Very very good performance by the band here.The new songs are played very well,as is the old classics SBS,UF,WOWY.I dont like having 5 songs from ATYCLB in the set.YBR worked much better than IALW.The buildup before YBR was great.It worked so well.The same can not be said here.When Frank comes in at the end,after hearing how well that sequnce worked during YBR,it sounds off now.UC sounds great.The band dropped it for a bit,and brought it back with alot of passion.Magnificent is solid,but Adam plays a wrote note,or 2,for a bit.Other than that,the performance is fantastic.
Audience:
Very solid.I think big stadium shows in America are hIt and miss.If you have very good seats (as I did for the shows I attended),the fan gets into the show.But,if you are sitting 2 miles away,and forced to watch a screen,you feel left out.I believe that is the case here.You can hear them well,but some are not into it.On the Utube broadcast,the fans down low were having fun,and enjoying themselves.I will wait for the DVD to see how the fans are,a proper release.
Sound:
I went with the Matrix (mp3).The sound is fantastic.This mix is such an improvement over the first version I had.The echo from Larrys drums is no longer present.On the broadcast,his drums sounded terrible.They were flat.Bonos voice is so clear.I put this on cd right away.My friends all thought it was a release.Thats how great it sounds.Again,this is such a great job.Thank you for this version !!
Overall:
Well,the sound is great.The setlist is very good.I would have liked to hear hear more from the NEW cd.Like Cedars,or Fez.But anyway,UF,UTEOTW are maybe the BEST versions from the tour.Same goes for UC.Great job on this matrix.TY.

Performance:
Excellent performance, despite a couple of bad guitar notes. It will be fixed for the DVD.
Audience:

Sound:
The echo on the drums during Breathe is terrible, but the sound improves later. Like the bad guitar notes, it will be fixed for the DVD.
Overall:
Great concert has many highlights including In A Little While, Unforgettable Fire, Until The End Of The World and Ultra Violet.

Performance:
The band was in top form that night.
I watch it stream live on youtube, I listened to the bootleg, and I bought the DVD. In all sources, the band played very well and was extremely enthusiastic about performing for all the world to see.
Audience:
Many people seem to crucify the audience as being "dead" or "unresponsive." The youtube stream appears to show that, but the bootleg proves otherwise. Listening to the bootleg, you could clearly hear the crowd get into most of the songs. One noticeable attendee even cheered through Desmond Tutu's speech.
However, during ISHFWILF Bono had to try a bit harder than usual to get the crowd into the sing along. So obviously the crowd is nothing like Dublin (where they had a strong singalong during Streets), but comatose they were certainly not.
Sound:
Apparently, they remove a 5 star quality recording (which happens to be the one I downloaded). I haven't heard the 4 star quality recording they have posted, but if it's anything like the 5-star was before it, it's a very good listen.
Overall:
5 stars!
Highlights
Beautiful Day with a snippet from In God's Country
Elevation --> In a Little While is always a nice way to go
Until the End of the World was amazing (visuals were nice too)
COBL, Vertigo, Streets - All great as always
Boots, Magnificent, Unknown Caller, No Line - all very good
Ultraviolet, absolutely amazing
MoS- I don't know why people say that this song sucks as a closer. It's really quite beautiful.
Meh...
Crazy (remix) - I was never into the remix that much. The album version is far more musically and lyrically beautiful (the remix cuts out a TON of lyrics)
