Performance

It's too hard to be objective because it was my first concert at age 17 and I was thrilled to be there. They really put on a fantastic, inspired show that night.

Sound

Audio is not that great. Very fuzzy, like my memory. Like it was recorded on a handheld tape recorder. The editing of tracks is way too choppy. I'm not sure I care because its really taking me back to that night.
Recording: Audience microphone - 2 stars

Audience

The audience was great. Screaming and singing like a Beatles concert. I've never since been to a show with an audience like that. Not even other U2 shows.

Overall

First concert I ever went to age 17. I haven't missed a U2 tour since. Listening to this was like traveling back in time. My girlfriend at the time and I went for $70 apice. Row 19 off to stage left rear. I still remember images and excerpts from the show. I sang every lyric. I remember he grabbed a kid out of the audience to play guitar on People Get Ready (at the next show in Philly on 25 Sept he brought out Bruce Springsteen). After the song he asked the kid where he was from and he said "Philly" but Bono thought he said "Hawaii." That always stuck in my memory. By the time the show was over I had no voice and my ears were ringing. I remember forgetting where the car was parked and it took over an hour to find it. Only disappointment was 40 because the recording cuts off way too early. The crowd sang it for over 10 minutes after the band left. Larry tossed his drumstick into the crowd behind him right before he left stage. The most memorable show I've ever been to.
