Performance

It surprises me that I'm only the second person to review this jewel..

Well,where to start. After an unlucky lift-off of the tour in the USA, the band came to Europe and opened with two memorable gigs in Rotterdam. So sad there isn't a proper recording of night one, but for that we got the PopHeart EP and the known video.

From start to finish a standout PopMart performance. Some mistakes here and there (particularly from Bono but we got used to that). Still the man gives a solid performance. Of course you can hear that he had problems with his voice back then, but I just have to say he did very well this night. Rest of the band are their usual selves and making fun of it. This show contains my favourite of Edge's karaoke intermissions, 'Radar Love' from the Golden Earring, the greatest Dutch rock band of all time. A real crowd-pleaser. It's followed by the most powerful version of Miami I've ever heard. Please- Streets contained again a beautiful segue. Discotheque was another highlight, followed surprisingly by a full version of Whole Lotta Love. Talking about surprises.

Later on Bono snippeted Love Will Tear Us Apart during With Or Without You which was a true highlight. Pop songs were played very well, for some reason I really like If You Wear A Velvet Dress and Staring At The Sun. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me proved again that this song is so underrated. Then they finished it all off with solid versions of Mysterious Ways and One, with that oh so beautiful Unchained Melody as a closer.

Sound

Decent rercording which captures the show fairly well. Some stretches here and there, and sometimes Bono's voice seems to be drowned out by the band's sounding. A high bass is always nice.
Recording: "I Will Swallow" - 4 stars

Audience

Dutch crowd at De Kuip. I think that says enough. You can barely hear Edge singing the karaoke part. Listening to this boot I realised that this crowd finally accepted the PopMart Tour. They clap, chant, shout all show long. A shame that it hasn't been filmed.

Overall

A standout performance, accompanied by a crazy Dutch crowd makes this one a real must-have for the ones who adore the PopMart era. It was the best European lift-off they could ever have wished for. Finally they seemed to get used to the tour, and finally the crowd was accepting it. Highlights to me were Last Night On Earth, Even Better Than The Real Thing, 'Radar Love', Miami, Discotheque + Whole Lotta Love, Please - Streets, Unchained Melody. But it's the crowd who makes this one so great.
