Performance

A fantastic performance for the 1st show at MSG, with the band delivering a great, tight, energetic and inspired performance with few mistakes. Bono is also having a very good night for the tour as he delivers top-tier renditions of every song in the set as this is known as a tour that he usually isn't at 100% on.
