Performance

After a solid start, Bono asks "Is this all we can do?" to rupturous applause, setting off what is a great show, again leaning more and more towards his usual strong self. The second song features some gutsy but flat adlibs during the outro while Bono skips over 'Exodus' for some reason. 'I Will Follow' is a great rendition but the show picks up even more afterwards, featuring excellent performances of the new tracks as well as 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. 'Gloria' is a strong performance but 'Bad' is unfortunately strangely weak on the choruses and ranks low for the tour. Unfortunately, this leads to a complete vocal blow-out for the next few minutes and Bono keeps struggling for the rest of the main set.

The encore begins with a solid 'Trip Through Your Wires' but features some strange ASMR singing at one point- 'People Get Ready' gets INSANE at one point when Bono invites a singer and guitarist and the song suddenly changes tempo and everything. A picture gets taken afterwards, according to Bono, used for the Time Magazine.


Sound

The sound is a bit harsh but pretty clear and well balanced.
Recording: "JEMS Archives" - 4 stars

Audience
