Performance notes: Initially scheduled for 2010-07-06 with Interpol as support act but postponed to 2011 on 25 May 2010 due to Bono's back surgery and rehabilitation period. Rescheduled date announced on 13 July 2010. The show closes with a special performance of One Tree Hill to honour the 25th anniversary of the death of Greg Carroll on 3 July 1986. This is just the fourth performance of One Tree Hill on the 360° Tour and the first full performance of it anywhere in North America since 20 December 1987. The setlist also features a rare Out Of Control (just its fourth performance in 2011), and the snippet of Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World is its first live appearance in any form since 10 December 1993.

Performance

More issues than I've noticed in other shows, however these issues are primarily in the unusual songs, so I can't fault them too much.

Sound

Great AUD- Minimal audience noise and great clarity. I did however have issues where iTunes would skip to the next track early, this doesn't happen with any other music, but it also doesn't happen if I use Windows' built in music player, so I'll assume it's something on my end, and not the source. But if you use iTunes, maybe use the YouTube source instead.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Not particularly noticable in this recording, however Bono repeatedly mentions how energetic they are, more so than usual. I'll trust him.

Overall

Real Thing: I wish that Zoo Station was used to open 360 shows with the AB set. That would be sick.
The Fly: Standard for 360
Mysterious Ways: TTTYAATW snippet is a highlight, with about 2 lines of the song sung.
Until The End Of The World: I don't remember ever hearing such a long speech in the middle of it before.
Out Of Control: A couple of mistakes I noticed in the first minute and a half, however some of these are likely just the recording- it starts with some loud sound carrying over from UTEOTW, but then Edge seems to make a mistake. Later there's a couple other small things that are likely just the mic moving, but I'm not 100% sure.
Boots: get off yrou're sexy boots i hate them and you SPECIFICALLY, mr tax fraud bono man
Between song chatter: Honestly pretty hilarious, ranged from discussing Adam stripping and checking out the wildlife, to campaigning for Independence Week rather than Independence Day. I'm all for it.
Still Haven't Found: The Promised Land snippet was kinda cool but really just a meh song live
Stay: Standard 360 Stay, I think I prefer Zoo, Elevation and EI Stay over 360 Stay though, so nothing excellent
Beautiful Day: At the end, Edge begins the ending riff early, but Larry and Adam keep going. Meanwhile Bono sings his Space Oddity snippet, which was something I'm not sure I've heard before. I liked it, good snippet tbh
Elevation: the "oh" at about 3 minutes sounded wrong please never do that again bono
Pride: fine
Miss Sarajevo: fine
Zooropa: fine
COBL: The piano in the beginning seems like it's missing something, maybe an echo or reverb effect.
Vertigo: fine
Crazy: I always forget about the Pop snippets. I like those. Shame the rest of the song sucks though!!!!!!!!!!!
SBS: fine
Scarlet: just politics
Walk On: fine
One: fine (hear us coming would've been nice but they are becoming rarer in recent tours)
Streets: A new song as the intro to Streets I haven't seen before. Standard performance otherwise.
Hold Me: 360 arrangement is great. this is a 360 arrangement
WOWY: fine (where is shine like stars after zoo :c)
MOS: The OTH snippet was less exciting than expected being just a spoken word "oh great ocean" verse, with no instrumental.
OTH: This was clearly not very rehearsed, which I don't mind. The dialogue before it was quite funny though:
Bono: "ok, heres the deal, if we screw up really badly, you don't put it on the internet. fair?"
*edge comes in messing around with guitar*
Bono: "hows it start??? ...edge looks real confident..."
*edge gets going*
Bono: "oh for f*cks sake"

Highlights: Fly (because it's a good song), MW (Arms snippet), OOC (rarity/slight goofs make it interesting), Sarajevo (good song), Zooropa (good song), Hold Me (great arrangement), MOS (OTH snippet), OTH (seemingly on the spot)

Lowlights: Until The End Of The World has no business with that speech, Boots (trash song), Elevation (don't love the arrangement for 360), Vertigo (overplayed imo and also the 360 arrangement isn't my favorite with the blasting sound to start with), Crazy (SO BAD. Studio version was fine.. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.), Scarlet (just aang san syu kyi speech)

Overall one of the more interesting 360 shows I've heard. Definitely not perfect, but it's got some interesting aspects to it. Definitely worth a listen!
