Performance

It's a bit strange this show is listed under "Various Dates" instead of the War Tour section since it has gotten zero attention by anyone obviously - despite circulating as a great sounding broadcast capture.

The performance is great as we're quite early into the tour; the band sounds very energised and are giving their all, especially Larry's drumming is truly exceptional. Unfortunately, a few sloppy moments occur as well, mostly due to the Edge hitting bum notes like in 'New Year's Day'. Bono's voice is somewhat unstable but he also nails down AMAZING belts during various of the songs. The addition of 'A Celebration' during the first encore is most welcome!

Audience

Pretty good audience with some great cheering in between songs. Sometimes, they sing along loudly but sometimes they're silent, even when Bono asks them to sing. "40" is very short tonight as the audience is not used to taking over the song just yet.

Overall

All things considered, this is a quite good stop on the 'War' Tour with most songs being performed strongly and featuring great vocals by Bono as well as fantastic drumming by Larry. 'Party Girl' needs to be started three times and features made up lyrics as Bono struggles to remember the correct ones.

Highlights:
• Gloria
• I Threw a Brick Through a Window
• A Day Without Me
• Two Hearts Beat As One
• Sunday Bloody Sunday
• The Cry / The Electric Co.
• Tomorrow
• Twilight
• Out of Control
• A Celebration
• I Will Follow
