Performance

Oh, man, what a night...St. Patty's ZooTV, what more could you really ask for from an Irish band in Boston on that night? The performance is hysterical and fun; more of a party than a rock show, and with the countless rock n' roll Zoos we were given, I'll gladly accept this holiday as a party show. It's in no way a top notch performance, but it is in such great spirit that it deserves almost the highest marks. Everyone- and clearly, EVERYONE- is a little tipsy on stage

Sound

Here's the downfall; this one doesn't fall much further than the 3.5 range. The spirit, energy, and alcohol content of the show is well worth the download though!
Recording: "In Boston on St Patricks Day" - 3.5 stars

Audience

They couldn't be loving the show any more- probably just as far gone as the band!

Overall

There are just so many things to love about this bootleg...

-The entire song "Zoo Station" is hysterical with the band's entrance, where Bono wastes no time proving that he's drunk
-Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (simply because I'll always love this song on ZooTV no matter what, and they actually seemed to have taken this one half seriously)
-Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World, introduced by Adam so hastily and carelessly that it actually made me laugh out loud!
-Van Dieman's Land into Bad is simply, utterly, orgasmic. It is a BRILLIANT transition and I have no idea why it wasn't done more often. A staple in this show.
-RTSS/Streets
-With or Without You

There are no lowlights, folks. Mysterious Ways stretches out a BIT long, but all it takes is to imagine the crowd partying and dancing and drinking along with the band to relieve the impatience. Download this show! It's worth a listen. May not receive many repeats on my end, but I know now that I have an honorary St. Patty's Day show that will get played at least once a year!
