Performance

This is what a U2 show in Worcester is all about! You have a fantastic audience, singing along with every song; you have a great setlist with some surprises (tonight we get the "Joshua Tree" debut of Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody" for example) and most importantly, you get a fantastic band! Bono is simply unstoppable tonight, giving long and personal speeches, singing like a true god and making for an incredible, unforgettable evening at the Centrum. "Bad" is an all-timer tonight, clocking in at nearly 12 minutes and featuring some unique line swaps by a very creative Bono.

For some reason unknown to me, the entire first minute and about 20 seconds of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" are instrumental; the audience can be heard cheering loudly just before Bono does start the first verse, so he was probably running around the stage or dancing with someone during the intro.


Sound

Not too bad but not great either, definitely listenable
Recording: "JEMS fixed" - 3 stars
