Performance

A cool, short performance of the band at the CND Peace Concert, just before they "dream it all up again" for the UF era.

Sound

For most of the songs, it's 4 stars. Unfortunately, there are a lot of volume fluctuations and NYD is almost ruined with the muffled sound for the good part of it. Still, when the sound stabilizes, it's a good recording.
Recording: "The Big One - CND Peace Concert" - 3.5 stars

Audience

Clapping and yelling between songs, good crowd.

Overall

Worth listening, if only because this is the last concert before the band transformed its sound once again with the Unforgettable Fire. 11 O' Clock is always a highlight and this is no exception. Mike Peters from The Alarm joined them for Knocking on Heaven's Door, although after the 149th "Knock-knock-knocking..." you get tired of the song. Not the band's fault, though.
