Performance

A solid, yet unexceptional, second leg performance from the boys. They kicked off with a bang and some variation which I always appreciate by opening with a rare combo in Vertigo and All Because Of You, before ripping out an ace - the evergreen Electric Co to get the crowd really started. What followed was a decent, adequately performed set. The trio of I Still Haven't Found, Wild Horses and City of Blinding Lights was impressive enough, although you can always tell when Bono's brought his A-Game vocally by listening to how he hits that last powerful "C'mon now love, don't you look baaaaaaccccckkkkk!" during Wild Horses. This time he didn't even attempt it. Wild Horses, although a great addition to the set, just wasn't happening for me although I'd enjoy it any day over Sometimes... As always it was the stinker of the show. Miracle Drug again showed why it suffered a premature death during the tour - another powerful rendition here.

Love and Peace to One were performed well but things picked up during the first encore. I'm always up for a Zoo Station-The Fly combo and this one didn't disappoint. Was there an extended solo during Zoo Station? Even With or Without You was suprisingly alright although nowhere near the heights of earlier tours. And then a dissapointing finish... (See lowlights).


Highlights
Really no stand outs to speak of.

Lowlights
What a pissy finish. Just two songs? Yahweh was alright but someone please explain to me the meaning behind Vertigo x2 during the second leg. Why play a song again at the expense of another song? One of the worst concert ideas U2 has ever come up with.

Sound

The more I listened to this bootleg the more I despised the sound. Still a genuine 3 star rating but I guess if it didn't have that constant hiss that endured throughout the whole recording it could have pushed for a 3.5 maybe. That hiss sure was annoying. On top of that the audience sounded funny. They were quite muffled, like they were outside the stadium. All band members were audible enough for an adequate listening although I found Edge's back-up vocals strangely distant. Also worth noting were a few bouts of sound fluctuations that occurred in various parts. The sound certainly affected my enjoyment of the whole recording.

Overall

Nothing special, a standard Vertigo performance here. I'm sure there are several other second leg shows such as Milan out there that piss all over this
