NOTES:
Haven't seen much of the US Conspiracy of Hope Tour around, so here is one, This is the first show of that short tour. I
have here the two sets I think were the best ones: Sting and U2. Both performances are solid and the audience seemed to
enjoy the show a lot. U2 opened the show with C'Mon Everybody which was not performed anymore during the tour. They hadn't
played on tour since July 1985. Sting had just completed his first solo tour so the band was well. Fortress fades in before
Sting starts to sing, so there must be no more than 2 minutes missing.
Soundwise both are very nice, I would say a solid 9. You will hear some screams here and there during the show but nothing
really disturbing if you are used to the wild reaction of US audiences. If you are fans of these two bands, I may not
want to miss this download.
Enjoy!
