Performance

All the passion of War with better vocals. The band and especially Bono had some fire this evening. Bono gave this gig some effort and it just delivers a fantastic listening experience. The passion is unreal. It's like 'Boy' era Bono but somehow slightly more mature. Larry had a great night and Adam and Edge were as spot on as ever. Nailed it. Gloria is a huge standout. Theres a glitch mid way through where the band feck the timing up and Bono has to count them in again and the whole song just clicks. Fantastic energy and enthusiasm.

There was a technical hitch during Bad which was a bit of a downer but Bono hides it with some nice improvised lines. The War songs were top top notch and The Electric Co was its usual standout self.

Excellent all around.


Sound

A sensational audience recording. Perfect balance of band, vocals and crowd. How the taper managed this at such a noisy gig I do not know but this gig delivers. It packs a great punch and does a fantastic job of delivering the atmosphere of that evening straight to your ears or filling up your room. A classic
Recording: "Unforgettable Scots" - 4 stars

Audience

Powerful. Great voice and gusto. Listen to the reception for SBS. The whole building shakes. From start to finish they were just unreal. This always seems to boost Bono, he feeds of their energy. These guys were good.

Overall

Fantastic snapshot of the early (and much much better) UF gigs. The band were enjoying their work that evening and the crowd even more so and this recording makes you feel like you were there. Definitely a top 5 Unforgettable Fire gig
