Performance notes: Documents about U2's 1998 tour plans that were distributed to their tour crew during Popmart's third leg in 1997 indicated there was an option for a second Tokyo show at this venue the next night, 1998-03-06. This second concert was never announced as demand was insufficient.

Performance

Fantastic from the start, Popmart for the few shows in 1998 had really solidified a long way from the troublesome first leg and songs like Mofo, Gone and Last Night on Earth are really rocking. Some 'future echoes' which I noticed in Bono's talk before LNOE where he repeats "hello, hello" in a Vertigo style and the "where are we, what is this" comments reminded me of what would be said 26 years later at the Sphere.

And with what was to come on the next tour, Popmart now was a much warmer and soulful show with less concept and older material coming back such as Bad is a rare yet very welcome outing in this show. Please is dedicated to the Irish Embassy and performed brilliantly.

The encore is strong, Discotheque sounding loud and fat and a strong version of If You Wear That Velvet Dress follows. Familiarity bears contempt for With Or Without You however, on this tour it had morphed into a bit of karaoke number in my opinion. I think the song came back into it's own on the Elevation tour.

HMTMKMKM gets a strong reaction and deservedly so for a great performance, Mysterious Ways fun and light hearted too. One and Wake Up Dead Man wrap up one of the best shows on this leg of the tour.

Sound

A bit 'boomy' but a nice big sound
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Quite excitable for a Japanese crowd along with mass applauding.

Overall

Well worth adding to your collection. Shows such as this remind us what a great tour Popmart was.
