Performance

One of my absolute all-time favorite shows; my #11, just barely not making my profile's Top 10 Bootlegs. There is no reason not to immediately download this show. The performance is truly top notch, and although Bono occasionally sounds tired in speech, the songs thrive.

Sound

Good enough for me. Personally, I think every tour has its own "classic" bootleg sound, based on the types of venues played on that tour, the way the sound was engineered that time around, etc...and this sounds like a classic high-quality Elevation boot to me.
Recording: "Vibrations (IEM-AUD Matrix)" - 5 stars

Audience

Sometimes a little bit loud/chatty, but never unbearable. They are encompassed in the show, and the whole arena's atmosphere is captured in this recording, from the front row to the nosebleeds. Everyone is involved.

Overall

There aren't enough good things to be said about this show. The ZooTV surprise is to die for, especially with The Fly rocking so early on. "The Sweetest Thing" is also amazing, and "Angel of Harlem" is nice as well. One of the only full-out acoustic performances of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" makes an appearance here too, and is worth downloading the show for by itself.

There are no lowlights. This is a stellar, stellar performance. Add this to your collection now!!!!
