1997-09-23 - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Kosevo Stadium


setlist

Performance notes: Sunday Bloody Sunday was performed solo by The Edge for the first time and was played in this manner for the rest of the Popmart Tour. Miss Sarajevo was played with Brian Eno. U2 visited Sarajevo to fulfill a promise made during the Zoo TV Tour to play in war-ravaged Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was the first concert the band played in any country that was formerly part of Yugoslavia; the second did not take place until 9 August 2009 in Zagreb, Croatia.

Performance

The band were inspired. I know that they wanted to play Sarajevo in 1992-1993 and were sure to go during the PopMart tour. From the video snippets I've seen it was one of those ULTRA-Magic U2 shows. It isn't often that one can get Brian Eno to take the stage... but for this - he did. That tells you how special that show was meant to be and ultimately... it lived up to what it was meant to be.

Sound

Pretty good recording. From the radio so maybe a bit compressed and tinny but hardly a bad recording. Enjoyable recording a an ultra-maigical night.
Recording: "Sarajevo [noiseless remaster]" - 5 stars

Audience

The crowd were into the show and seemed elated that U2 came to play there. Listen to the audience just after MOFO... they are losing their minds! I'd have loved to have been there!

Overall

Bono's voice was a bit shot. But it's those nights that he gives that much more of his soul... and he gives a lot to start with! It can often be those 'tough' nights when things do come around and the stadium or arena they are in seems to levitate.
