Well here it is, show number two and the one I think most of you guys have been waiting for. I chose this show for very obvious reasons, it's a stunning pro-shot, even more stunning crowd, a band on fire and Bono with a terrible voice. . . everything a legendary U2 show needs. Unfortunately my iPod has packed in (again) so I cannot givea review of how the picture quality etc turned out so please post your thoughts. I can tell you now though that there will be moments of fairly heavy pixelation (notably COBL and Zoo Station). This comes from the original DVD and has nothing to do with my iPod conversion. All in all this should be an enjoyable download for you all so please watch and post your thoughts.
Stand out moment : Edges guitar during the intro to Streets is awesome but listen to that crowd when Bono shouts 'ARGENTINA!!!'. If the house lights came on like they did on previous tours that stadium would have been no more than a pile of rubble. Awesome.
did you know? The song 'Van Diemen's Land' is sung from the point of view of an Irish poet who spoke out against the British government and was going to be exiled to Tasmania (Van Dieman's Land is the original name for the island).
