Performance:
The band seems to really be on it. Elevation starts off the evening properly, nothing special until the “Pump it Up” snippet arrives at the end. Bono’s hoarse voice isn’t necessarily that different from other nights on the Elevation tour but it seems to work here, Pride has more grit than I remember (probably because of the spot it’s in), as does Until the End of the World, Bono’s roars at the end made me very happy as a fan of that song. The Fly on the Elevation tour as you know is a whole other animal. This version is more of the same as other version but that doesn’t mean it isn’t amazing. The segue between UTEOTW and The Fly is something they should bring back. An Iggy Pop snippet is always an epic win as well.
Even Better is good, nothing particularly special although it’s the last version of it until March 30th 2011! And oh my God would it return in a big way… (Edge messes up a on this version however)
Mysterious Ways, I forgot how it sounded like pre-360. So much more funk, sexy and rock ‘n’ roll than what it is now. (Although I enjoyed it immensely at Anaheim2 last year) Bono’s voice is still wrecked though unlike the later tours. But yes, I’m going off topic, this versions greatly appreciated by the audience as far as I can tell. (Btw, 4 Achtung Baby songs in a row? Good stuff.)
Then In My Life and Stuck in a Moment come and ruin the vibe, although it is their tour which I guess means they have a right to appear FUCK THOUGH, Bono’s voice is ravaged around at the start of Stuck. I just don’t like this song anymore. Moving on. Kite, an actual GOOD song on ATYCLB that isn’t overplayed. Now THIS is a song they should bring back in full <3 I’m biased, I’ll never tire of this song so I’m going to say as usual that this was an epic performance and speech by Bono and the band. Bono’s hoarse voice once again works here.
Gone, one of the most rocking songs on Pop, a song they should bring back by the way! S*** like Elevation, In a Little While, SBS and Magnificent lives on but Gone doesn’t? Although to be honest this version isn’t that epic. On the next tour though a segue out of Elevation would be sweet. Anyways…
New York bores me to tears here. Sorry, unless it’s the dvd version where I’m physically watching it I don’t like it. Moving on. Out of Control is amazing as always! But really rough here though LOL Edge you sure about this? it might be the recording but something’s iffy about this version. It almost falls apart a few times ahaha makes it very enjoyable though still. Sunday and Desire were pretty good, nothing that different (although the snippets are excellent). Party Girl and Stay were good, Bono’s Elevation era voice doesn’t sounds that good as always but he puts in real effort for Stay, Bad and Streets. Beautiful Day so late in the show was interesting, I totally forgot about it and was caught by surprise by this version.
The encore is the encore. Good stuff. Nothing I’ll be keeping on my iPod though. Still a good performance that I highly recommend checking out!


Audience:
They seem really up for this show. The jolt that Pride’s intro roars out made me jump as well. They really reacted to the songs and the oddness of the setlist. They enjoy Even Better which was a nice surprise because Edge mangles it. They seem to disappear for a bit during Gone though or Stuck (until Edge sings of course). overall I have no doubt that they were pumped up throughout the show in the arena.

Sound quality:
Sounds not intrusive or distracting to the bootleg listener. However you do feel like you’re not fully there as other, better sounding bootlegs allow you to be. Still worth listening to for a really good show.

Overall:
A really special show on a slightly underwhelming tour (until the later legs imo). The Elevation Tour is fantastic, if Bono’s voice had been better. Bono sounds older here than he does now! But overall the band sound incredible as usual, this show is really good but probably not something I’ll be keeping on my iPod very long to be honest. But worth listening for the many highlights!

Performance:
Intense. Really enjoyed every song. [Even Pride, the most overplayed live song ever.] Even from the get-go Where the Streets Have No Name and I Will Follow had gusto. I never really liked the idea of I Still Haven't Found 3rd but it works here. Mainly because of the Irish Bono banter and the enthusiastic crowd singing. MLK and The Unforgettable Fire are awesome. Bono is singing really well throughout.

Ah the mini Rattle and Hum section, God Part 2 is epic as always with a little touch of evil. Haha good stuff. It leads perfectly into with the "greed is good" phrase Desire which is performed at a neck-breaking pace. I never really enjoyed the fast versions of Desire but this one is REALLY good. Improvised lyrics and snippets make it better. Then All Along the Watchtower is also excellent. These three mesh together great. I don't even think Edge swapped guitars throughout these 3. :O

All I Want is You is a great snippet but should be played in whole. Bad however is EPIC. doesn't even have any snippets which is why i think it makes it better. Bono's concentrated 100%.

Van Diemen's Land by the Edge. Very nice and leads into Bullet the Blue Sky which starts off really strong with the Star Spangled Banner and HEAVY DRUMS. Bono explains his love for the Point Depot.

Running to Stand Still - nice version with the crowd singing every word of it! Must be heard. Don't really care for the snippet of Dirty Old Town but w.e. nice to hear.

People get Ready is really nice here! Pure fun.

LoveTown section #2. Angel of Harlem has a very fun intro with bono starting up Suspicious Minds but then hes like "no this is ANGEL OF HARLEM!" Good version but not anything extra special. When Love Comes to Town is EXCELLENT. Maybe the best version i've heard. B.B. is extra flirtatious throughout.

Love Rescue Me ends the main set. Very odd to see this in the end of the main set and not the encores but it works here, leaves room for the amazing encores.

Two Hearts...... never cared for it but its awesome here! A HEE HEE. Billie Jean snipppet isn't what I imagined but ehhh its a good version.

Pride - NOT A BORE!

40 - Nice ending to any show.

Audience:
i need to see a show in Dublin........

Sound quality:
Soundboard but not like a DVD rip. I don't know its good but i always prefer official stuff. Haha I'n very picky about sound. I need to be able to mesh it with other shows and artists on iTunes or else i get annoyed. Lol Very good sound the crowd is rowdy at times but doesn't overpower the band.


Overall:
Excellent. My first review and i think this will go down as one of my favorite shows ever. My other favorite is ZOO TV Stockholm. This and that are a great example of how great this band is. Download this ASAP! It is worth IT.
