Performance

Spirited but stale and more than a little bland. It was the end of the first leg but things still didn't seem right with the whole Popmart setup. Things started well with Mofo but i'm at my wits end trying to remember anything else from the entire show Last Night On Earth was terrible. The first minute or so was just soo flat. There wasn't anything especially bad about the performance but the whole show felt like the band were just keeping their head above the water. Very little in the way of crowd interaction from Bono. Even Streets sounded flat. Miami was decent. MLK was nice due to it's rareness but it didn't sound great at all. Uninspiring overall with no real high points. No comparison to gigs like Leeds or Santiago

Sound

A very very good sounding gig ruined by it's low bitrate. I'll be watching intently for the lossless of this if it pops up and I guarantee there'l be a massive improvement. Drums were a little muddy and the crowd featured nicely throughout. 4/5 but it could be a 4.5 with a fresh conversion.
Recording: Soundboard - 4.5 stars

Audience


Boston crowds are typically excellent at U2 gigs and those in attendance during this gig certainly were energetic. Kinda didn't know their way around the POP songs but enjoyed the oldies.


Overall

Good sounding Popmart gig that should tick many of your boxes. I need more to keep me interested though and this gig just didn't deliver.
