Performance

This is a very solid gig that I think,flew under the radar last fall.The boys are in fine form here,the new tunes start us up,then MW gets the place up and dancing.Im not a big fan of MW,but it always goes over live.Same goes for Elevation,I cringe at the lyrics,but again,its a crowd pleaser.Bono is talkative,saying Houston is the" home of space stations".Very true."Houston we have no problem" is a great quote before ISHFWILF.The fans sing the intro word for word.Great moment,and you really get a good FEEL for this show.Bono sounds genuine and sincere thanking everyone from NASA.Stand By Me follows,and is very passionate.NLOTH is more intense than usual.Its a blazing version.The standout track is the rare,strange sounding Your Blue Room.This is a great version,sound is very good and clear(much better than the NJ 09.23.09 soundwise).This is the LAST time this song was played in 2009.It was replaced with IALW. UTEOTW has it usual bite.Solid show here.

Sound

For an audience recording,this is very good.Bono and Edges vocals are clear,as is the Edges guitar.Larry and Adam instruments sound a bit flat.Example,the start of Vertigo sounds very muffled.Even Edges guitar sounds like hes in a tin box at the start.I try to listen to audience recordings with an open mind.After all,these are amature recordings.Thats why its called a "bootleg".If you want a much better sounding show,you should stay with the Q/BBC broadcast of Sheffield.But this has a good,raw live sound to it.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Cant really hear them,but Im sure they were better than you can hear.

Overall

A very nice find here.I pretty much stopped downloading shows after my 2 at Giants Stadium in Sept (cause of the VERY similar setlists).But this is a good sounding show,the band are in top form,and you have Your Blue Room ,making its last appearance for 2009.I thought this odd track worked,but obviously the band felt IALW worked better.Standouts : BD,ISHFWILF,NLOTH,YBR,UF,One,and a great version of UV.Grab this show.
