Performance

A pretty good performance from the early stages of the Unforgettable Fire tour that is enjoyable from start to finish, even if the band are still figuring things out and isn't as tight as they will later be during later legs, resulting in them not all being on the same page in places which of course results in a few band mistakes on some songs in the setlist however, a solid musical performance is present here even if there is noticeable moments of roughness in areas.

Bono is in your typical early-era shape, mostly sounding strong albeit with a few unstable moments during the higher belted notes on songs such as Sunday Bloody Sunday, along with his falsetto not being the best in places, particularly on 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, where he tries whispering the falsetto parts out before then deciding to give up altogether. However, he is quite chatty with the audience between songs in certain parts. He is inspired and determined to get the audience involved with the show, trying to get them to sing along in places while also, in two instances, having to interact with the crowd as there seem to be fights during both Out of Control and I Will Follow. The first instance also results in the band stopping the song for a few seconds before resuming. He also noticeably uses improv lyrics on I Fall Down and Pride, with the latter being a highlight of the night.

Overall

Overall, a decent early Unforgettable Fire tour show that, despite being rough around the edges, features a good performance for the most part that also contains some interesting aspects, such as the tour debut of Twilight, which was performed a total of four times on this tour and the very first performance of The Unforgettable Fire which is very primitive and features no guitar.

Highlights: Twilight, An Cat Dubh, The Unforgettable Fire, Surrender, Two Hearts Beat as One, The Cry / The Electric Co., New Year's Day and Pride (In the Name of Love)
