Performance

The concert starts a bit flat, no matter how fast songs they play as openers (Out of Control, Twilight, etc.), but as we get further, the show and the atmosphere gets better and better. 'A Day Without Me' is fantastic, but it just prepares the listener for a simply incredible 'An Cat Dubh'. I never felt that it's a cinematic song, but this slow arrangement that is present here can totally give us sights of dirty alley-ways with wandering black cats - really a highlight of the night.
It's a shame that this song is followed by a totally weak 'Into The Heart', which sounds very uninspired. And here begins the premier-parade, the first new song is 'Surrender' which is quite enjoyable, but the band sounds a bit unsure about this - and with all the other debuts of the show. It's amusing to hear 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' being played without the 'rebel' feeling, but the biggest surprise comes, when 'New Year's Day' starts, and...Edge PLAYS THE PIANO RIFF THE RIGHT WAY, WITHOUT THE EXTRA NOTES!! I never heard this song played so accurately to the album version, and was really delighted to finally hear this. The final part is also triumphant, offering an extended '11'o Clock Tick Tock' followed by 'The Ocean' (the change is a bit dramatic), but 'A Celebration' and 'Fire' put the things in their right places, though I can't see how could they close a show with such a filler (I know they didn't, I Will Follow was repeated, but the recording ends here).

Ups: An Cat Dubh (Best performance of this song I ever heard), New Year's Day (for the piano accuracy), 11'O Clock Tick Tock (Long, long, that's how I like it).

Downs Not much, I only didn't like 'Into The Heart' (very uninspired) and 'Fire' (played as an encore...uhh).

Sound

Not as good as a soundboard could be, but really worth a 4. The drums are flat, the energy comes through nevertheless. Edge can be heard well, none of the instruments are overexposed. Bono's voice is echoed in some songs, and he has some problems with the high notes.
Recording: " AT821 - SONY WM-D6 (old transfer)" - 4 stars

Overall

Great pre-War show with some historical song debuts, and a brilliant 'An Cat Dubh'. Check it out if you can!
