Performance

The band was finally gaining momentum on the tour, and they gave a much better performance on their return to Germany. Bono's voice was actually good, compared to other Popmart shows.

Sound

Showdown in Hannover is way better than the IEM. The latter has annoying talks by the crew in the middle of songs. The audience recording is a little bit heavy on the bass, but very enjoyable.
Recording: "Showdown in Hannover" - 4 stars

Audience

Also much more participative. This boot has many shouts and isolated conversations between songs, but nothing too distracting.

Overall

I really liked this bootleg. The band returned refreshed from their trip to Scandinavia and Bono's voice was better and it showed, specially in songs like Even Better Than The Real Thing.
Highlights: EBTTRT, Last Night On Earth (the great outro with Bono and Edge was extended a little bit). In the Karaoke part, Edge said, half tongue-in-cheek, half serious, that he is tired of the Popmart/U2 bashers and, since it was the 20th anniversary of Elvis death, played Suspicious Minds, which was refreshing. Miami was also pretty good. At WOWY, Bono did a slight lyric change "with or without you I'd be nothing" and it sounded pretty good.
Overall, a great Popmart concert, it looks like the boys left behind (see what I did there?) the insecurities and problems of the tour.
