setlist

Performance notes: Please is performed for the first time since March 1998. This is the only full band, electric performance of Please on the Elevation Tour; all subsequent performances are acoustic. In addition, this is the first time U2 have covered Knockin' On Heaven's Door since November 1992 (though Bono did perform it with Bob Dylan in March 1999). Garbage were the originally scheduled opener but pulled out due to illness; locals Graham Parker and The Figgs were a last-minute replacement and played the support slot before their own club gig that night.

Performance


I think this was particularly strong performance for the band, still in the early part of the 3rd leg and in the build up to hitting New York, the band really showed how the Tour got its name for lifting a nation. 'Elevation' to opened the show was lively and energetic, with the "I wouldn't to be anywhere else" at the start. This energy lead on into 'Beautiful Day' and 'Until the End of the World', though both were not the greatest performance on the tour. Out of Control was a nice inclusion though a bit repetitive especially for those who have Watched 'Slane' or have a wide number of 'Elevation' Bootlegs. 'When Will I See You Again' was a nice touch in the build up to a fairly average 'Stuck In a Moment'. The really highlight of the first encore was the acoustic version of 'Please', though unlike the 'PopMart' version the led into 'Streets' was a bit crap to say the least.
The encore was just going through the motions of a standard elevations gig. There was a nice little speech by Bono before 'One' before leading into good performances of 'POE / Walk On''

Sound

certainly a 3 star, nothing more, nothing less. The band was audible and, most importantly of all, listenable, though the crowd at times were slightly overpowering and the recording did go a bit soft at times
Recording: "Sony MZ-R37 + ECM-717" - 3.5 stars

Audience

There really into this one, nothing more to say really

Overall

A good bootleg and a good show, only really let down by the sound quality of the recording. in the run up to the New York shows the band were on fire, though with some strange set list decisions (no Stay, Bad or WOWY) some parts of the show didn't really flow, the crap Please/Streets segue for example.
