Performance

All the good songs are played here, so nothing really poor as far as I'm concerned. All the songs are played to their ultimate potential - and this boot I think is a serious contender for the best version of TUF. Apart from that, as others above me have said, it has to be the best Bad next to the R&H from the 80s.

MLK is so haunting here, I got shivers up my back. Songs like Electric Co, Gloria, Bad, ''40'', Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow....might be played on more recent tours, but they could never match up to what you're in for here. The band have as much energy as Mick Jagger, but they carried this show off in such a way, you want to listen over and over (again they were only 20-something years old). No wonder this band are still the biggest in the world.

Some other highlights was Bono yelling at someone to stay out at the beginning of Wire or MLK - it was one of them, the killer scream during TUF, the almost opera-like part during Electric Co, the racing guitar riffs in Pride, Gloria and New Year's Day, and the almost nine-minute Bad. And ''40'' should always be the way to end a U2 show. Too, too many highlights to name, but that's just a few.


Sound

First up, the sound is immensely better than the Adelaide show I recently picked with no serious sound defects, sound drops or problems, but it sounds like a mono recording - but that loses none of the sheer brilliance here. If a lossless one day comes up, I'll be more than happy to take it.
Recording: "Hybrid Casio Capsules - Sony WM D6" - 4 stars
