Performance

Amazing...one of the best performances of the Elevation tour. The band starts off with 'Beautiful Day', with Bono shouting "the heart is a bloom!" They jam through 'Until the End of the World' and 'New Year's Day' with so much rockability. Bono sings 'When Will I See You Again' and 'Stuck In a Moment' with so much passion, it brought tears to my eyes. 'What's Going On' was spectacular. The bridge between the chorus and the next stanza reminds me off the Who's 'Pinball Wizard'. What a debut. 'New York' was special during this leg, because of 9/11. I forgot I was from Boston, and got lost in this song. 'Pride' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' were fantastic. 'Pride' benefitted from following 'New York', and the band are certainly enjoying the show at this point. 'Sunday Bloody SUnday' did not contain a political speech by Bono, which surprised me a little bit, however the song benefitted from not having a rant. Bono dedicates 'Kite' to his newborn baby boy, John. 'Angel of Harlem' is awesome here, as always. Bono tells the crowd during 'Staring at the Sun' that there's a webcast of the concert going on, and that the whole universe was listening in. 'Staring' in general, was great acoustic, and does the song justice. 'Bad' was superb, the only odd part of the concert being the 'Molly Malone' snippet. If Bono snippeted 'All I Want Is You' instead, it would have been a better lead in to 'Streets'. 'Where the Streets Have No Name' was nearly perfect here. The only version better would be the Slane concert, which to popular opinion is the best ever. The next song was 'Still Haven't Found'. This is the best version of the song ever. Mind you, this is coming from someone who considers this one of U2's best. Bono hits the added falsetto during bleed into one, which sent shivers up my spine. The regular set closes with 'With or Without You', and dedicates this to those born 10 months after it came out. A very beautiful closing to the regular set. Then came one of the best U2 encores ever. They start off with 'Elevation', and really rocks the house. They rock on through with 'Mysterious Ways', not a highlight of the tour, but this version kicked ass! 'One' was astounding as well as emotional. 'Peace On Earth' and 'Walk On' were in top form. Some of the NYPD and NYFD came out during 'Walk On', which gave even more meaning to an already meaningful song.

Sound

Most of the crowd were energetic Notre Dame students, so they were very lively. And they were. They all knew the sounds too, which to me proves rock and roll will never die. The arena was small, seating 11,000 people. To me it sounded like there was 20,000+ rocking with U2.

Audience

Perfect sound. The audience can be heard, while the band can be heard clearly as well. I found absolutely nothing with the recording of this. It's the best bootleg you can find here from the Elevation Tour.

Overall

I never really got to listen to this gig until now. What a show! It's become one of my favorites, and furthers my love for the Elevation Tour. Some may complain they dropped the Fly, but it just didn't fit at that moment. 'Beautiful Day', 'What's Going On', 'Still Haven't Found', 'One' and 'Walk On' are the highlights here. These songs are all in top form too, which makes this gig one of the best I've heard. If you download this, your expectations will be met 110%.
