Performance

This was my first U2 show ever, so of course I will say they played fantastically.

Sound

It's definitely good enough to relive having been there live, but not as good as other bootlegs from this tour.
Recording: "DPA4023 - R-09HR " - 4 stars

Audience

From where my wife and I were right on the outside of the catwalk in GA facing the stage, the sound from the audience was fantastic. Met some cool people who went crazy with me when The Unforgettable Fire began, when Bad got pulled out, and when Bono jumped the octave in the second verse of Ultraviolet!

Overall

From getting in line at 6am to the end of Moment of Surrender, I'll never forget this first show. Bono ended the evening saying "What an opening night." Highlights included Breathe, Irish Boy snippet into Beautiful Day, Unforgettable Fire, Bad, and Ultraviolet. The opening sequence leading up to and including Breathe was just spectacular. I really wish they would've kept this song around longer. Bad was a great surprise, even including the glitch with Edge's delay at the beginning. And Ultraviolet still might be my favorite performance of a song in any of the 5 shows I've seen since. The laser jacket, the song performance itself, the encore intensity, just all so good.
