setlist

Performance notes: Happy Birthday is sung for Adam, who was celebrating his 23rd birthday. It is sung by the audience a second time after Party Girl. The Alarm's Mike Peters and a saxophonist join U2 for Knockin' on Heaven's Door, which is the first of many times U2 cover the Bob Dylan song (though Bono himself had previously sung the song with The Alarm on 6 December 1982).

Performance

A fantastic performance that takes place on Adam's birthday featuring, for the most part, an excellent combination of mostly strong vocals from Bono and a musical performance with few mistakes. However, as this is still quite early into U2's career as a live band, Bono does noticeably have a few moments of instability on some higher belts, which leads to amusing voice cracks during the introduction to Brick, New Year's Day. But for the most part, this is a top show for the era featuring the band performing great renditions of each song in the setlist with Twilight, Party Girl, and Knockin' on Heaven's Door being the highest of the highs from this show.

Audience

Excellent English crowd.

Overall

Overall, an exceptional performance from the War tour featuring Adam's birthday, an inspired performance, good sound, and an excellent audience, which makes this show an essential listening for the War tour. The performance remains at a consistent level and doesn't noticeably slip in terms of quality at all in any of the 85-minute-long duration due to few mistakes being present in the performance overall.

Highlights:
Surrender, The Cry / The Electric Co., Tomorrow, Two Hearts Beat as One, Twilight, Party Girl, Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
