Performance

The Good:
MLK - I love this song. I like how U2 puts this up at the front of the setlist. Fantastic
Exit - This song is badass. I'd like to see it return
Bad - Bono voice is great, love the Ruby Tuesday snippet
October - although not the greatest performance I like that its here
With Or Without You - good performance
I Shall Be Released - great shit

The Bad:
Sunday Bloody Sunday - just dont like it at this tempo. I prefer the slower version
Maggie's Farm - just don't really like it.


Sound

Sound: The beginning is a little rough but gets better throughout the concert. Maybe its my ears adjusting to have it was recorded. Good sounding boot though. Great audience sound. Really gives the performance some depth. Not that U2's performance is bad, it's spot on IMO. I could use a little more bass myself
Recording: "Tonight Bob Is Playing With Us" - 3.5 stars

Overall

Great boot. I'd recommend this as a good starter for the Joshua Tree Tour. Great setlist, performance is great and sound quality is very good considering it was 87 and its been tranferred from a cassette. Bono's voice is fantastic throughout this concert. Nice treat having Bob Dylan for a few songs. The audience level and participation is wonderful. It really adds to the quality of the boot.
