Performance

I attended this show and the gig from the night before.Both shows were great,but I give the nod to this night.The band are very loose and are having fun.I love arena shows over stadiums.The band play some early classics here,Gloria,The Ocean.The block of 4 ZooTV tunes is great from One - MW.The great thing about the Vertigo tour,unlike 360,the band played alot of different songs,each and every night.This night they closed with Bad.Classic.

Sound

This is really a 4 1/2,but there is one real pain in the ass yelling YEAHHH WOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! before and after EVERY song.Iam like "shut the fuck up already".He almost ruins this great recording.Almost.It is not the tapers fault.You cant control who sits next to you.This guy is so loud.Listen to the very start of MW,I had this gig on my system,I almost jumped when he screamed WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! .Besides that...very good recording.At the end of side 1,the taper fades out.Well done.Also for the encores the fade in and out is nicely done.Just lower the volume between songs.Nice momento for me.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

My section,236 row 4,was great.Loud and into it.You cant capture that on a bootleg.Its too bad the band refuse to release their shows like Pearl Jam do.

Overall

Great show.I was lucky to have attended 4 shows from this tour.This show stands out,as well as NYC 10.07.05.But,the band played,Gloria,Ocean and Bad.So,an old diehard like me was very pleased.Every...Thing...You...K....K..KNOW...The Fly..Mint version....Bono is very into this show.I brought my daughter for her 11th birthday.It was her first U2 show.She loved it.She kept saying "Bono is having so much fun".Very true.ISHFWILF is wild.I remember thinking "what the hell??"..The band call up a couple of guys (The Bankrobbers) from the crowd to play and sing.It was a funny moment.Bono keeps saying "Thank You" after,but they wouldnt leave.They didnt kill the song either....As I said..very loose gig.
