Performance notes: Originally scheduled for 21 March 2006. In Angel Of Harlem, Bono sung "Young Australians" to the tune of Young Americans. Walk On is performed in full electric form for the first time since 27 February 2002 (the previous Vertigo Tour versions had been acoustic). Kite is played for the first time since 2 December 2001 and features a guest appearance by Tim Moriarty on didgeridoo - Moriarty joins the band during Kite at the other Australian concerts too. Angel Of Harlem receives its first pre-planned performance since 1 December 2001; its previous Vertigo appearance on 29 October 2005 occurred after a fan was pulled on stage to play guitar. This is U2's first appearance in Australia since February 1998. Setlist and comment provided by U2gigs.com.

Nothing really stands out, with the exception of a few songs. Walk On and SYCMIOYO were great. Miss Sarajevo is one of those songs that isn't really well known, but nonetheless a great song. Zoo Station and the Fly were good as always. I was happy with the encore. Zoo, Fly, WOWY, Saints, AOH and Kite are favorites of mine, so IMO it was a great encore.
Its a 5th leg Vertigo show, so that kinda explains itself. However the sound quality kinda counters that, but that's for another section
Highlights
Kite, which was awesome as always. Glad it was the set closer.
The Fly, which is always good whenever it's played
Lowlights
Still Haven't Found wasn't played

Besides that, the band was good, but not great. I didn't find anything I disliked about it, setlist wise.
Sound
This show ended up as a 3 star... very understandable sound wise. However, some people in the audience forget they're at a rock show and think its watching MTV in their living room. Also, it is the stereotypical expression of the term mp3. It isn't that good a recording to begin with. It's like listening to the Edge at Red Rocks... it just doesn't sound that good and the guitar seems far away. To try and listen to it reminds me of listening to The Rolling Stones bootlegs from 1969. If you don't understand that.... then I'll explain again. The band is somewhat clear, but just not audible enough. Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars
Audience
On one the previous reviews, Elevation 2001-07-21 Torino, the audience saved the show. In this case, it was the exact opposite. Off-key singing and convos made it very hard to concentrate on the music.
I'll quote Pete Townshend, who I think sums up my feelings:

Overall
Overall, I thought it was a good show. There are far better shows quality wise out there, same for the audience. I think the set was great, just one thing missing from it. It didn't have any sparks or pizazz. That's what makes a bootleg so great. To capture something on tape is one thing, but when the show has the spark or tension, on tape it sounds like fire
