Performance

In the Heart of Europe !!!! Berlin N1

Band are spot on here . I have always , always enjoyed when U2 play Europe , ever since the early 80s when I first became a fan . As Bono says " We feel at home here , we love it here " . I know he says that all the time , but I really feel he means it on this night . Nothing like hearing Bono speaking German lol

OOC sounds great (as do most of the songs here) , and IMO this tune should be an every night staple (instead of the overplayed Vertigo) along with Electric Co .

IWF sounds like a new tune this tour . So much passion here on the old classic .

I enjoy the new songs , and this point of the show I always look forward to . Iris is beautiful moving tribute to Bono's late mom . As he says during IWF , "Unconditional love , now how punk rock is that "... indeed . Edges guitar harmonics are crystal clear here at the opening of Iris (also see IWF), just perfect sounding .

Bono's intro to SFS is always great , and very humble . Such a great song , and IMO the standout from their last album . Bono's voice sounds very good here , bit of chit chat in the background , but this doesn't take anything away , actually adds to the live feel of the show , making it feel as if Im back in the GA , as I was for N4 @ MSG back in July .

SBS > Raised By Wolves is another highlight . The explosion sounds great after SBS , and actually scared the shit out of my wife , as I was blasting this show on the living room speaker system . LOL

Unlike Turin N1 , UTEOTW has no flubs . Comfort me !!
Awesome first half .

Zoo Station makes its tour debut , fitting as this is Berlin where AB was started . Sounds very good , and should immediately replace the so played out and boring bathroom break MW .

I skipped over MW and Elevation as I always do

October is always welcomed , but I would personally prefer it before NYD , then BTBS . Zooropa is a nice surprise , I wish the song was actually played , instead of just Bono singing the final verse (over what sounds like an instrumental outtake from the Wall) .

Rest of the gig is standard , solid , but standard to the norm that the band have played since N America . One sounds nice with the fans singing , but I prefer the full band version .

I think One would work better ending to the second set , with an encore consisting of something like All I want Is You > Bad and 40 being switched up . Beautiful Day should never see a power slot in the setlist . Play it after Invisible .


Sound

For a bootleg , it really doesn't get much better then this (and Im not big on bootleg recordings) . Love this show . This is tops from the European tour so far, yes better the the great Turin recordings IMHO. Turin N1 has loads of mistakes and is a bit muffled sounding overal , Berlin N1 not so much .

Bono's voice is clear and up front . His intros sound so clear ( see band intro OOC or Iris as ex) . Adams bass is nice and booming (see The Miracle) . Edges guitar is crystal clear (see harmonics OOC ,IWF, Iris, UTEOTW) just listen to Raised By Wolves . Larry's drums are a tiny bit muffled , but not a problem.

Recording: Audience microphone - 4.5 stars

Audience

Sound good and are always great in Germany .

Overall

Very solid show . Bootleg sounds great and the bands performance is solid (Song For Someone is perfection) and the tour debut of Zoo Station make this a MUST .

..... so sit back and give this one a listen , and make sure to have a Hofbrau Oktoberfest bier (or 7) and you just might feel as if you are in the GA at this great show .
