Performance

My GOD I didn't think I could love U2 even more but this performance proved me wrong! From the start the band are delivering on all fronts and they keep getting better with every song. Gotta love the debut of the peak 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' arrangement and then 'Maggie's Farm' and 'Bad' knock everything before it out of the park - I've never heard U2 better than those two songs!

Sound

Great sound!
Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 5 stars

Audience

Never doubt the Irish!

Overall

Highlights: Just because I need to write enough sentences, every single song was a highlight but my favourite moments were 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' intro, Bono going WILD during 'Old McDonald' and the almost proggy stuff during 'Maggie's Farm' and all of 'Bad', especially the choruses and snippets.
