Performance

'Where the Streets Have No Name' kicks off this show with a GREAT intro, gosh it's so BEAUTIFUL! I love Bono's adlibbed "Action, roll the camera!", referring to this concert being filmed. The song itself sounds pretty solid although Bono starts adding some of the Kermit voice to the verses and choruses. His weaker voice gets even more noticeable during 'I Will Follow' as Bono is taking it much easier, still adding strong embellishments here and there. He speaks about his broken arm before a strong 'Trip Through Your Wires' with some great harmonies shining on this soundboard. Although 'I Still Haven't Found' is technically strong with no mistakes by anyone, I'm not a fan of Bono's belty / growly approach. The usual 'Exodus' snippet is sadly missing as well.

'MLK' / 'The Unforgettable Fire' both sound gorgeous musically with Adam playing the bass excellently in the latter; however, Bono's voice keeps failing on him multiple times. 'Exit' is one of the worst versions I've heard with Bono speaksinging for most of the song, singing off-key and his voice and memory giving up completely, leading to entire lines getting dropped. 'In God's Country' sounds great. 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is a return to greatness with Bono sounding incredible, clearly pumping with energy and passion although his voice once again barely cooperates during the "No more!" section.

After a gorgeous 'Help!' (which Bono dedicates to Winnie Mandela and all victims of apartheid), it's time for another round of 'People Get Ready'! It's another performance dripping with passion, making smaller mistakes redundant. Tonight's guest musician (a girl from the audience) gets taught the chord and soon joins in - playing some really awful notes while Bono keeps rooting for her, yelling out the chords she's supposed to be playing - it never really works out but only adds to the special feeling of this song. 'Bad' features the full on return by Kermit Bono - his falsetto is gone completely and Bono admits it. HE THEN COMPLETELY NAILS THE FIRST CHORUS??? After sounding super rough during the next verse, he again NAILS the notes although sounding really rough on the last two.

'October' features a few sloppier Edge moments but is otherwise solid. 'New Year's Day' also sounds pretty decent with a few stronger moments by Bono. 'Pride' sounds surprisingly great. 'Bullet the Blue Sky' is quite good but Bono again lets the (inaudible) audience sing the falsetto parts. 'Running to Stand Still' is an absolutely GORGOEUS rendition with a superb soft tone being used by Bono although his harmonica solo isn't the tightest. The show ends with great versions of 'With or Without You' and '40'.

Sound

I mean come on, it sounds fantastic even though the audience is almost non existent.
Recording: Soundboard - 4.5 stars

Audience

I don't like rating audiences on recordings that don't do them justice.

Overall

Definitely not the best show in the whole wide world. Bono really struggles with his vocals (despite a few odd wildcards like the choruses of 'Bad') and the band has had tighter shows as well.

Highlights: People Get Ready, Bad, 40
