Performance

A long way down the road from Las Vegas, a strong show on the first leg sees the band finding their feet and making sense of Popmart. Mofo is still developing in structure and sounding great, Bono goes a bit all over the place during I Will Follow. Gone now has Edge's vocal in the chorus and is sounding much more defiant as is Last Night On Earth. ISHFWILF and Pride flow better now in the show without feeling clunky or out of place. Bono sounds engaged during UTEOTW and adds the usual drama yet doesn't sound interested in IGWSHA, it's a hesitant performance at best. Staring At The Sun however is one of the best full band performances of the early shows.

We'll skip the karaoke and go to Miami, a concise performance with some Bono sarcasm ("ba ba ba yourself The Edge") and crashing smoothly into Bullet as if the songs were always made for each other. Please has become better and leaves out the SBS drum outro. WTSHNN with it's segue into a techno arrangement closes the main set leaving the crowd wanting more.

Discotheque skips a verse and is not the best but an overall good performance that redeems itself as it builds towards the end. IYWTVD sounds better if now a shorter version. WOWY is a bit tired but still a crowd pleaser. Said crowd sound surprised to hear HMTMKMKM and it's a rocking performance with attitude. Mysterious Ways keeps up the energy, One is not the best of performances and Bono sounds a bit lost. Unchained Melody closes Popmart for Pittsburgh.




Sound

Almost as good as a soundboard recording.
Recording: "Fradoca Remaster" - 4.5 stars

Audience

For an audience suffering the cold, they sound great.

Overall

A strong show for the early part of the tour, yet not without it's mistakes with the lead singer seeming elsewhere at times, but the band play well as the new songs find potential.
