What a night, what a show!
The fourth
U2 and The Netherlands have a very special and strong connection, and every show in Rotterdam, Arnhem, Den Hague or Amsterdam is always special and unique.
This one was truly extraordinary though, with the band at the top of their game, an incredible setlist, a debut and the first performance of 40 in Europe since 2005.
An incredible audience and a warm Sunday night wrapped it up perfectly.

Regarding the recording, well, this is not the best audience recording you'll have heard in your life.
One8ung's recording of this same show sounds unarguably better, and you should download it if you feel like listening to the show with
no distractions or sound faults whatsoever. Kudos for that recording and all the other recordings throughout the years!
Be aware: this is a JOYFUL FAN RECORDING. There's jumping, crying and singing all around, not only by me but also by those around me.
I have taped dozens of bands since 2011 but this was my first U2 recording, and I just couldn't stand still while the band of my life
played an extraordinary show in front of me. Forgive my excitement, I hope you enjoy and understand it nonetheless :)

Nevertheless, the recording itself sounds very good. The sound quality where I was standing at the Ziggo was close to perfect, with
all instruments and vocals coming clearly and well balanced. The recording has a great dynamic range and everything comes across balanced
and loud. I couldn't record with my usual microphones (AT943, hypercardioids) because they were being repaired, so a taper fellow lent
me his AT831s. The sound is crisp and clear. Thanks again Humbug!

Special thanks to my girlfriend Patricia, without her this recording, concert or travel wouldn't have existed for me.

Special thanks to Remy for the loan of the cover photo, and for sorting it all out regarding tickets for me and my girl. Always grateful, boss!

Thanks Joyce/BigGIrl for the loan of the IE logo!

Thanks Humbug for the loan of the microphones. I owe you one!

Thanks to the U2start community for almost 9 years of sustained support. Thank you for the laughs, the setlist parties, the knowledge, everything.
This recording is dedicated to you all. Hope to bring many more (and better) ones during the upcoming months/years for you!

Audience

At first I cursed them for playing the Ziggo, but that was because I didn't got tickets the first presale. Now i'm glad because we got the best night in the best venue. Because of the intimacy the crowed gets sucked into the show. In the great stadiums I always get irritated be people how who aren't there for the song, talking all the time walkinging away to get beer. Yesterday I had the idea that everbody was there for the band, not just for a night out. A the sound quality was briljant.

Overall

Offcourse, everbody thinks that the show that they attent is the best ever, but this one made all dreams come true. A great but also intimate venue with a great sound. A band which was on fire. And the songs you wanted to hear. After checking the setlists of past show you make a wishlist, I hope they play this song and I wouldn't mind if they leave that one out. Yesterday I got all I wished for and even more. Starting with the Miracle and Out of Controle gave much energy as well as Vertigo. Iris/Cedarwood Road/Song for Someone was a overwhelming audio/visual experience. Then the debut of Magnificent, which kept the energy going on the E stage. This is the part of the show where I was hoping they would play the songs they played today. Every breaking wave and Octobere are strong songs and I personaly like them much more then Desire/Angel of Harlem. After a powerfull Bullet the Blue Sky they worked down to the climax, and what a climax it was. After a little speech of Bono (for which he apologized, but he had been a good boy all week) and the Mother and Child Reunion they started Bad. And its good to see what impact this song has on the audience. Not only the older part but also the youngster, everybody just went nuts. And the tranision to 40, briljant. Starting with a snippet in Bad, and when you think it is over Adam plays his bass. And the only thing you can do then is song along. What a night, what a show.

Edit: In the video I saw that Edge and Adam switched guitar and bass during 40, cool.
