Performance

Apart from some slip UPS (Bono messing a verse in Love Rescue Me), the band are on fine form here.

Sound

For a 3.5 star recording source, it's pretty good: you can hear the band and the Australian crowd clearly.. a bit TOO clear (mic near someone shouting nearby) but hey, that's the excitement of audience shows.
Recording: "Melbourne Memoirs Vol. 5" - 3.5 stars

Audience

Ecstatic and celebratory.

Overall

One of many shows on this leg of Lovetown and it's an awesome show: Bono and the boys give it 100% and the jubilant Australians create an amazing atmosphere. The PA outro of "Theme from Harry's Game" really cemented the show's energy and gives me goosebumps. Certainly one of U2's best shows ever performed.

Highlights:
-The switched setlist: All I Want Is You put a bit early, while BTBS and RTSS switched to the encore. I really like this arrangement because it seemed like a Joshua Tree / Lovetown setlist fusion.
-Last known performance of "Exit" and a very good performance.
-One of the BEST performances of "All Along The Watchtower". I don't know if that's Edge or Bono but the guitar bend sounds MENTAL.
-The band
-The Australians

Lowlights:
-Bono's verse during LRM, but nothing that disturbs the concert's flow.
