Performance

The band are top notch tonight! This is an incredible gig.

Bono is chatty, really feeding off the crowd's terrific energy. Edge's vocals are very good at the start of Seconds, sometimes they are kind of muffly. Bono calls out Ronald Reagan by name at the start of Seconds. He sings different lyrics during The Unforgettable Fire ('stay til your heart beats through'). Wire is surprisingly intelligible, and Bono sings the full outro without skipping anything. Electric Co. and Sunday Bloody Sunday are long and impassioned. Bad is very good, with great snippets and some altered lyrics. New Year's Day is sounds a bit different to normal, it's very very good. Bono jokes around in Party Girl, which has extended extra lyrics. During Gloria, Bono does the usual band intros, an he says 'Who is this?!' and the crowd shouts 'The Edge!' which reminded me of Vertigo Tour performances of Vertigo. "40" is a very good version to wrap up the show!


Sound

It's very good, at bare minimum 4 stars, I would go higher. This is a very good mix of crowd and band - the audience are a massive presence but the band are not drown out at all.
Recording: "Analogue copy of master (1stGEN)" - 3.5 stars

Audience

This is one of the best American audiences I've ever heard. They're crazy! One person has a whistle which is a bit annoying but they're off in the background. This crowd is really powerful, they sing along and scream and shout and clap - an intense gig!

Overall

Awesome show. Unbelievable crowd, very strong performance, and really good sound too! According to Bono, at this show they have reached the milestone of playing for 500,000 people in the United States on the tour.

There's a slight cut as Bad ends and October begins, and there may also be a very minor cut (or otherwise sound error) early on in Bad.

For being a relatively unknown show, this bootleg is incredible. There are a ton of really powerful performances and all songs sparkle with a little something extra. Download this one now, you will NOT be disappointed!

Highlights:
- Seconds
- The Unforgettable Fire
