Performance notes: Originally scheduled for 21 March 2006. In Angel Of Harlem, Bono sung "Young Australians" to the tune of Young Americans. Walk On is performed in full electric form for the first time since 27 February 2002 (the previous Vertigo Tour versions had been acoustic). Kite is played for the first time since 2 December 2001 and features a guest appearance by Tim Moriarty on didgeridoo - Moriarty joins the band during Kite at the other Australian concerts too. Angel Of Harlem receives its first pre-planned performance since 1 December 2001; its previous Vertigo appearance on 29 October 2005 occurred after a fan was pulled on stage to play guitar. This is U2's first appearance in Australia since February 1998. Setlist and comment provided by U2gigs.com.

This said there was nothing wrong with the bands performance, it was not the best I’ve heard, songs such as Walk On sounded “rusty”, and Vertigo had its difficulties, but there was no question that this was the band heading towards the top form shown in the Melbourne and Sydney, if not quite there yet. Bonos voice, of what I could hear, sounds recovered and energised from the South American gigs and spirts where high. At the start, from and untrained ear it sounded like The Edge had technical difficulties with the Guitar cutting out in Vertigo and with something not quite right in Walk On, though those who know know more could easily prove me wrong.
Highlghts
Walk On – Not at its best, could even be considered crap compared to some elevation shows and the following Sydney show, but it made a change.
The Crowd (apart from in BTBS) – Defently put across the energy of the gig
The Fly – again not the best, but it stood out, and a great transistion into WOWY
Sound
Each bootleg has there moment of magic, and is this case it was its down fall which was its heroin. Despite the incredibly annoying ladies who were more interested in chatting about getting a good view, I listened to this bootleg enjoying hearing people have a good time, the cheers and “Oh My God”’s when the piano kicked in with City of Blinding Lights, the singing along to every song and the fun of hearing the crowd get it wrong when Bono changes the Lyrics In Walk On. At the end of Love and Peace or Else, you know the crowd would go wild when the drums of Sunday Bloody Sunday started. It was a bootleg where the energy of the crowd was far more predominant than the band itself, and this, in my view, made it a good listen.
The Band were listenable and not as bad as I had first got the impression. Parts did fade, get distorted or just go plain quite at times, but to no extent as to make this bootleg unlistenable, and in many ways it is similar to the Berlin gig from the Second Leg, but with a vastly more audible crowd. Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

I actually think this is a good bootleg, I would rather have that crowd than a Elevation sound board
