Performance

This is an overall great send-off performance for the penultimate leg of the 'Unforgettable Fire' with notably the last ever performance of 'I Fall Down' which also happens to be a fantastic performance due to Bono's great creativity and vocal prowess. Talking about the latter, while there are strong moments, Bono's voice is a bit on the rougher side, especially once we reach 'Bad'. One vocal performance that stands out as particulary awesome is 'Pride' as Bono belts out the choruses not only without issues but a plethora of amazing embellishments.

Apart from some slopiness in 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', the band are in great form and deliver superb musicianship in tunes like 'The Electric Co.' and 'Bad'. The former is one of THE best versions for sure with electrifying performances by every band member, the outro (being taken from the studio version) in particular is MIND blowing! The finale of 'Bad' is also incredible with lots of snippets and some great drumming by Larry.


Sound

Fantastic sound quality that both captures the audience and the band equally. The only issue is that it sometimes tends to overblow a bit.

Audience

The audience is enthusiastic with lots of cheering and engagement during vocal exchanges with Bono. I love how especially enthusiastic they are over certain songs, like 'MLK' and 'Pride'.

Overall

Highlights: I Fall Down, The Cry / The Electric Co., New Year's Day, Pride (In the Name of Love)
