Performance

This is by far the worst vocal performance I have ever heard by any professional singer ever! Bono sounds awful from the start and still manages to get worse. His soft tone is completely gone as is his entire middle range, sometimes leading to stronger A4s than lower notes but "stronger" is a big word as they still suck. He then tries to compensate by sometimes embellishing lines which backfires even more - while the band is trying the absolute best they can, even they start losing it here and there and while no major fuck-ups happen, it's clear they soon start losing hope that Bono will improve.

Additionally, the whole setlist is quite strange with some really weird song placements and choices. At one point, Bono asks the audience to sing for him to then immediately do a completely different part of the song himself - why? The number of times he refuses to just let the crowd or Edge to some singing is frustrating. The only TINY highlight is the great ending of 'Exit' that features a unique harmonica solo and lick.


Sound

Great recording for an anything but great show!
Recording: "KeithM master via JEMS" - 4 stars

Audience

The audience is the highlight of this show! You can't hear them booing or complaining for a single second; instead they're helping out Bono as much as they can and as often as they can! 'Bad', 'New Year's Day', 'Pride' and '40' are the most obvious examples of them singing along as loud as they can.

Overall

Adding back half a star for the audience being this amazing - otherwise, there is nothing worth hearing from this show as it's just a singer at his absolute lowpoint and being able to do his job at all.

Highlights: None
Lowlights: Everything
