Performance:
Absolutely top top notch andone of the most highly regarded performances i've ever came across. In my opinion it is simply thee best ZooTV show of the lot. 11 tracks from Achtung Baby (includig lengthy So Cruel Snippet), amazing 'Bad' solo and the best Ultraviolet ever. Every song, and especially the new tracks were nailed to perfection. Bono dropped tha falsetto 'TAKE ME HIGHER' falsetto during The Real Thing and replaced it with a Lovetown-esque full vocal belt. Simply outstanding. Get it.
Audience:
Better than the band on the night. A lot of the audience had to wait an extra night to the show thanks to a postponement due to a technical hitch and boy they made up for it. They sing the Zoo Station guitar parts, outsing Edge during the Fly chorus, raise the roof during Streets and Ultraviolet. Just unreal and has to be heard.
Sound:
The crowd were loud, really loud but they didn't detract from the recording. In the most part the crowd sang as one complete unit and you very rarely hear any individal claps or shouts which is a big killer during many high energy recordings. A real good quality solid audience recording. It doesn't quite make 5 stars due to it being a tiny bit muffled. Not sure if this recording is from a master tape but it could sound a little better. The recording erfectly captures the essence of the night, the eneergy, the performance and the amazing connection between the band and the audience.
Overall:
5 stars overall. This could be a 1 star recorsding and would still get 4. Everysong his a higlight but The Fly, Even Better, Bad, So Cruel and Ultraviolet are all just outstanding. Get it.

Performance:
The Fly - Like said before me, the crowd was singing along with edge during "looove we shine like a burning star...." that was amazing.
EBTTRT - Bono impressed me with Italian before song, and also with "Take Me Higher" part during the song
One - I liked this version very much, Bono sang some snippet in Italian, and instead of traditional Unchained Melody at the end we heard Dear Prudence snippet which was nice refreshment
UTTEOTW - Wow!. I haven't heard better version of this song. Bono goes crazy at the end(In a good way)
Bad - Achtung achtung! Edge improvises! He added beautiful solo, and then another surprise So Cruel snippet. This make it one of my favourite Zoo TV Versions of Bad.
Audience:

Sound:
Ok, so after hearing this bootleg, I realised that nothing beats very good audience recording, better than Stockholm.Sometimes crowd can be disturbing element in bootleg, but that surely wasn't case of this one.
Overall:
I'm really impressed by this boot, it represents ZooTV '92 at it's best. Far better than any Zooropa show in my opinion.Gerard, you're not the only one who think it's the best Zoo TV show

Performance:
A lot of the songs are amazingly good, played to perfection. Mysterious Ways drags on a bit too long for my liking though.
Highlights:
Zoo Station
The Fly
Until The End Of The World
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Crowd singing the chorus to Angel of Harlem followed by a rendition of When Love Comes To Town
Bad
Bullet The Blue Sky (I like the fast versions of this with the superb Zoo solo)
Pride
Ultraviolet (Absolutely amazing)
Audience:

Sound:
Sound quality is good despite being muffled. The performance of the band are phenomonal. Top draw. The crowd....simply amazing (except the rhythm clapping which got on my nerves after a while). Great gig
Overall:
It's a great gig. Simply put.

Performance:
11. Yes, ELEVEN of the tracks from Achtung Baby played. Only Acrobat (what a real shame ) missing. Apart from snippets the first eight songs are from the album they were touring. That's confidence in your new material, and it showed. Stunning.
All the songs are great (as you may have guessed!), but the following stood out:-
EBTTRT. Full vocal on 'take me higher', not falsetto. Wow.
The Fly. Band outsung by audience. To be heard to be believed.
Bad. Variation within the main song then So Cruel as a snippet. OMG.
Audience:
This part is only rated, not commented on.
Sound:
A rare thing. Excellent audience where they augment the recording rather than irritate the listener, although some may find the clapping slightly irksome after a while. Laughable 3-star rating here should go up to 3.5 or even 4 stars. As good as it gets without soundboard etc really. Only slightly muffled in places.
My copy skipped slightly during Bad, but that may just be me.
Overall:
Get this bootleg. Now. Stop reading, click on the link above and listen. Then come back here and dare to disagree.
For some the best Zoo tour bootleg (yes, that includes you RDS Dublin and Sydney). Definitely the best overall '92 ZooTV bootleg. Others have individually stronger songs, but not the whole package like this.

Performance:
Top notch performance.
Highlights:
Mysterious Ways - without a doubt, the greatest performance on Mysterious Ways I've heard, It has everything, and Bono's falsetto at the end is truly Magnificent.
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horse - this is just a great performance of a great song. Enough said
Pride - the crowd is right there the whole way
When Love Comes To Town - I love the way it has been arranged in this show. The acoustic guitar and toms give it a different feel.
Bad - again, just an excellent performance
Audience:
This audience is superb throughout, singing along and creating a great atmosphere.
Sound:

Performance:
absolutely amazing. you can tell they were channeled into the crowd
Audience:
one of the best ive ever heard, dare i say even more into it the latin american crowds?
Sound:
average, but adequate.
Overall:
despite previous comments, i was disappointed with ultraviolet. it starts great with the crowd, but edges guitar is dry and lacks the ring im used to on this song. it is one of my favourites, so im probably overly picky. for a truly OUTSTANDING version of this check out d.c 8.16.92

Performance:
Bono and the rest of the band are on TOP form here, Vocals on Even Better than the Real Thing are absolutely amazing
Audience:
Audience is electric, you can hear them singing on Ultraviolet, first recording of that song i've ever listened to where the crowd really seemed to be eating it up. Also a great crowd singing for the majority of the rest of this song
Sound:
the sound is actually probably better then it is being rated by most people. Not broadcast good, but still very good sound
Overall:
I waited way to long to download this bootleg, don't make the same mistake i did. I've listened to alot of the highly rated zoo tv tour bootlegs and i would tell you that this along with Dublin is the best one

Performance:
One of the best shows all the time!!
Audience:
Italian crowd was absolutely on fire!
Sound:
good quallity.
Overall:
Highlights: The Fly, EBTTRT, Mysterious Ways, good snippet of Dear Prudence at end of One, Wild Horses. Bad is on my top 3 performances (others are Chicago 2005-09-21 and the Live Aid concerts) with a snnipet of So Cruel, that should be played on more shows. Ultraviolet's best version ever thanks to the crowd.
