Performance

Sound

Welcome Home has fantastic sound. All instruments are clear and crisp. Only problem is Bono's voice is buried in some songs like I Fall Down, but it's a very minor thing. This source is missing Electric Co. though. I complemented it with the Awia CM30 source.
Recording: "Welcome Home" - 4 stars

Audience

Home audience, enough said.

Overall

A very good War show with terrific sound. Specially good was Two Hearts Beat As One (with more snippets than listed). Sunday Bloody Sunday and Electric Co. are played with violin and they sound fantastic this way. A very special SBS in U2's home turf. Other highlights: 11 O'Clock and 40 with Annie Lennox.
