Performance

Sound

Trevor remaster sounds great.
Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 4.5 stars

Audience

For a non-U2 crowd, they responded quite well. Bono was pleasantly surprised.

Overall

U2 playing at Pinkpop and the love affair with the Dutch is cemented in this show. The band tried to conquer the crowd but it was the crowd that conquered them. Bono said many times that they didn't expect such a warm welcome. I'm not really a fan of Boy/Girl, but this was the best live version I've heard with the I'm A Believer snippet (they did this other times, but not with this great sound). It was a lot of fun.
Other highlights: Twilight and I Will Follow at the encore. If you like the early days shows, definitely get this.
