Commentaires [bedoc]
- Concert :
Ah la ferveur portugaise ! Quelle bonne idée de terminer cette tournée (pour moi) par deux concerts dans le sud. Une superbe ambiance donc, ajouté à cela un
placement idéal, pile entre les deux pates du claw, coté Adam : de quoi passer un bon moment.
Et ce fut le cas. On change pas une équipe qui gagne : setlist toujours aussi agréable, présentation du groupe assez sympa avec ce que chacun des membres serait
devenu s'il n'avait pas été dans le groupe, bref, une bonne ambiance, un concert rodé mais efficace.

- Son :
Arf, c'est confirmé, je n'aime pas la fréquence de Bono. Certes on entend super bien la voix, mais du coup, celle-ci prend le dessus sur tout le reste à certains
moments ce qui rend le son du groupe presqu'inaudible. Ajouté à cela un métronome des deux côtés (contrairement à Edge) et cette merde de clavier bontempi sur
certains morceaux qui vient gâcher le son (pire que le métronome pour moi).
Le son est clean et en stéréo (d'ailleurs je crois que sur Bono la différence entre mono et stéréo est quasi nulle) donc ça reste super bon, mais moins bon que le
retour de Edge pour moi.

Performance

The band was on top form and surprised by the positive reaction of the crowd, singing along every song, following Bono shouts of "Briosa" at the intro song, honouring the home based football team who plays this stadium, which lead the home crowd to craziness. The band early on the day visited the city Coimbra, and Bono told the audience what U2 have done if they had gone to the local University.

Sound

Almost as good as a soundboard.
Recording: "Drew's 2-Source Matrix" - 4.5 stars

Audience

Fantastic night, starting with Bono screaming Briosa, Briosa at Return of the Stingray, shouts "can you hear me" during Crazy Remix, and everyone responds with loud roar, he says "Malta fantástica" before Streets. All songs are performed well, with excellent performance by band and Bono. Magnficent was...Magnificent with its city starting vocal in clear Portuguese; Lisboa, Porto, Braga...Coimbra led to craziness. Still haven´t found was amazing...Miss Sarajevo is surely his best performance ever of the song. Hopefully we will see U2 like that on 2015!

Overall

Having seen U2 in Dublin July 25, 2009, which I thought was one of their best performances ever, in Coimbra 2010, they seemed more relaxed and crazy. Strangely, Coimbra crowd was even crazier than the Irish one in Dublin. Overall, U2 seemed like Port Wine; getting better with age!
