Performance

Incredibly energetic and raw performance from the start with Bono struggling to control his powerful high range sometimes but sounds youthful and spirited in every performance, clearly wanting to give the Dutch people a live debut to remember.

The band is performing in the same veins as Bono with very tight renditions of many early staples; I love how fast most songs are compared to their studio counterparts, really showing how heavy early U2 could already be.

Bono dedicates 'The Electric Co' (which is one of the most electrifying performances of the song I've ever heard) to the people sitting down "in the cinema. At least I think it's a cinema" and delivers a mindblowing rendition of it - Adam's bass work is superb and very prominent on the recording.

Sound

The sound is a bit tinny and naturally lacks some life as it's a soundboard recording but the sound of the music itself is great and very clear.
Recording: "Gloria Vol. 1" - 4.5 stars

Audience

Although a soundboard never is ideal to rate an audience, it is only natural that the first audience in a country that is foreign to the band isn't perfect yet. You can always hear them cheer pretty respectfully (even enthusiastically at some points) in between songs. They very loudly demand an encore after 'Out of Control'.

Overall

Highlights: I Will Follow, Touch, An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart, The Electric Co.
