review by Anam

Performance

It's always tricky reviewing the band performance. Musically this was excellent, but I'm not sure Bono reached the heights of Wembley a few weeks earlier. Bad was neither as slick nor as powerful, but The Joshua Tree performance was superb as this leg of the tour reached it's conclusion.

Sound

Listenable (and much appreciated)
Recording: "Epic Nights of Rock 'n' Roll" - 3.5 stars

Audience

The crowd were brilliant. I counted flags from 17 different countries, and there was a sizeable international contingent mixed with the local crowd. One amazing moment was during the flyover at the beginning of Streets: just when it seemed the crowd could not get any louder, the appearance of the Air Corps pushed the volume up two or three more notches. Serious goose bumps!

Overall

As is always the case for Dublin gigs there was the usual caterwauling about ticket prices and availability, the number of foreign fans, hotel prices, U2's tax affairs, Bono's hot air etc While London two weeks previously had swallowed the U2 gig comfortably, along with the Killers at Hyde Park, Wimbledon and a myriad other events, Dublin this weekend was all about U2. Temple Bar was like an unofficial fan convention from the Hot Press exhibition, to tribute acts, a record fair, t-shirts representing every era of the band's history and every pub, café and eatery blaring out Greatest Hits. Croke Park is a fabulous stadium and the atmosphere was amazing. The record should show that, while not on a scale of Croke Park gigs from the 80s or Slane at the turn of the century, this was a forty year old band made up of mid to late fifty-somethings doing a bloody good job of playing a thirty year old record. Glorious occasion. Fe*k the begrudgers!
