Performance

For various reasons, this is absolutely one of the best shows on the entire tour. The band is locked in very tight, Bono's voice is considerably very strong (and even allows its user some falsetto action) and features a great, very well balanced setlist. 'Please' is always a gorgeous addition and tonight even sees a helping hand in the form of Bruce Brody from the Patti Smith Group on keys. Of course, the second encore then elevates (pun intended) the show into completely different spheres with about 20 members of the FDNY joining U2 on stage towards the end of 'Walk On', leading to an impromptu performance of 'Out of Control' as tonight's show closer.

Sound

Bono is quite low in the mix very often but otherwise the sound is great
Recording: "Fire Chief, The Edge" - 4 stars

Audience

I mean wow, do you even need to say anything here? Absolutely one of the best crowds in U2's history!
