Performance

Luckily, after taking the day off, Bono's voice has recovered to the point where he can actually sing again despite still not sounding at the top of his game obviously. 'Where the Streets Have No Name' has a few flat notes here and there but overall Bono sounds decent and I'm honestly a fan of the very raspy chorus highs. During the bridge, Bono very enthusiastically shouts "I can sing, yeah! I can sing!" and it's honestly very sweet how genuinely happy he sounds about it. The next song also shows how much this break helped Bono's voice as he gives an almost flawless, energetic performance of the gospel inspired hit, sounding very freed himself. The outro especially shows how much Bono is enjoying himself.

'Gloria' continues the energy with Bono taking it a bit far, shouting at the top of his lung and I fear this will backfire, the audience is amazing and takes over during the choruses. 'I Will Follow' already sounds weaker with Bono cracking a lot but the band giving a tight performance so far. 'Bullet the Blue Sky' is a pretty good performance with Bono sounding powerful and letting his anger out without sounding hideous. The outro includes a quite unique and nice jam before going into 'Running to Stand Still', which Bono still sounds awkward on, changing between quiet vocals and sudden belts in a very strange manner. The outro features some unexpected powerful belts though. 'Exit' isn't nearly as catastrophic as before but still doesn't sound any great whatsoever. Bono's harmonica playing during the outro is outstanding. 'In God's Country' follows and despite a few instabilities isn't outrageous in any way.

'A Sort of Homecoming' is an INCREDIBLE performance by EVERYONE out of nowhere, Bono nailing some great sustains and runs here! Didn't expect this to happen so late into the show! The same goes for 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' as Bono sounds INCREDIBLE for most of the song, nailing the notes, sometimes in longer sustains than the studio version! 'Maggie's Farm' sounds great from the band but as soon as Bono tries to belt out stuff in a similar vein to the 1986 performances he again starts dying vocally. The finale is a FANTASTIC call and response game between Bono and the crowd. 'Bad' certainly ranks among one of the worst renditions ever with Bono already struggling in the verse section but then disintegrating in the worst way I've ever heard on the choruses, genuinely worse than any 1985 version. The snippets do make up for it somewhat but god, that was painful. 'October' is solid although it takes Bono about a minute to finally get into the vocals and afterwards comes the live debut of an absolute classic. Although there are a few timing issues early on, the song goes on pretty decently until Bono once again tries to belt the f*** out of random lines which OBVIOUSLY backfires immediately.

'New Year's Day' begins with another wildcard moment as Bono OBLITERATES the opening adlib with a nice and long sustain in the end. Some inexplicable timing issues occur as Bono completely forgets the song structure for no reason at all. The audience gets another bonus point as they nail the post-verse adlib for Bono. The singer then makes a brief but emotional speech as it's the anniversary of MLK's assassination which leads into the final song of the main set, 'Pride', which sounds way stronger than expected although there are still some bad cracks in there.

The three-song-encore begins with the, thanks to some new harmonies by Edge, gorgeous tour debut of 'MLK', very likely included because of the aforementioned anniversary, running into another tour debut from the same album as heard a lot on the previous tour, 'The Unforgettable Fire'. Bono holds on tightly to his voice during the song and even nails a few really surprising notes, including a semi-stable falsetto, but still can't stop his voice from cracking every now and then. Similarly, 'People Get Ready' sees Bono taking all of his soulful voice and giving his absolute best along the rest of the group but he once again takes it a bit too far at one point, cracking horribly again.

Sound

Very good sounding recording, can't really voice any complains except for a few volume fluctuations.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Pretty good crowd, they're singing along when asked to (and even on their own as heard in 'Gloria' for example) and cheer loudly after most if not all songs.
