Performance

Good performance by the band, with minor mistakes in NYD (Bono tries to mask this saying that Edge changed the solo, but then he admits it was an accident).

Sound

Very good audience recording.
Recording: "Hours Of Fun" - 4 stars

Audience

They're Dutch, so they're amazing, singing loudly in all songs. You can hear a lot of chatting in the middle of some songs (like Miss Sarajevo), and it gets pretty annoying soon.

Overall

Dutch bootlegs are always great, and this is no exception. The setlist is great; in the European leg it usually was pretty rigid.
Highlights:
-- WGRYWH. This is the star of the night. Full band version, simply the best outside ZooTV.
-- The political trio LPOE-SBS-BTSS. The London bombings were still very recent and the songs sounded more relevant than ever.
-- 2nd performance ever of Miss Sarajevo (dedicated to Theo Van Gogh) and first time with Bono singing the Pavarotti part. I've heard better versions, but it was a nice surprise for the audience and they responded well.
-- One with Unchained Melody (and we can hear a guy singing it out of tune), like in the good old times.
-- Original Of The Species. Always glad to see it in the setlist.
-- The fact that they closed with 40 and not with an encore of Vertigo. Don't get me wrong, I like that song, and usually the encore was way better, but it's a waste to play it 2 times in the same show.
