Performance

Going by the current temperature in Washington, Bono's vocals here are stellar, even hitting some of the higher notes for both songs; an unfortunate fact is that some of both Pride and City of Blinding Lights are pre-recorded.

The little parts about the American dream and the American references were great - and to think it was 46 years ago on Tuesday since Dr. King had a dream. What else can you play for a history-making event?

"We fell in love with America and America fell in Love with us".

Sound

An excellent broadcast recording with no audible problems whatsoever.
Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 5 stars

Audience

What else can you expect from a 400,000-strong audience ready to make history?

Overall

Excellent show; nothing more than that.
