Performance

Thankfully, it seems like Bono's voice has used the day off after Lexington to get stronger again - tonight we start off with a quite good 'Where the Streets Have No Name' without Kermit making a guest appearance and Bono sounding fine throughout. 'I Will Follow' is even more of a testiment to this, having Bono sounding strong and embellishing the choruses lots of the time. 'Trip Through Your Wires' is a pretty great performance with gorgeous backing vocals and Bono sounding very uplifted.

'Still Haven't Found' features a sweet speech about Route 66 at the start and is a great performance with powerful vocals and some great audience participation. 'MLK' is gorgeous; 'The Unforgettable Fire' FINALLY sounds good again! Bono's voice is still unstable but stays mostly intact. Nevermind, the second half of the song still sucks... 'Exit' sounds great with two awesome snippets and Bono sounding really powerful here. 'In God's Country' sounds quite good.

'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is a fantastic performance with aggressive vocals by Bono and some fun adlibbing before the breakdown ("Tonight... The Edge will play guitar for me"). 'Help!' shows that Bono's falsetto is still non existent - he makes up for it with a few unstable belts. 'People Get Ready' is quite fun with Bono sounding more stable. 'Bad' is a tad more into the unstable but still features great vocals and is a solid version overall. Happy to report 'October' sounds good again! 'New Year's Day' is very gutsy with mostly good results.

'Pride' begins with a lyric flub but the choruses are quite good with Bono and Edge sounding great alike, the former even embellishing the lines strongly. 'Bullet the Blue Sky' is quite good but Bono tries to let the crowd do the falsetto bits which doesn't work out as well on the first round. His speech is very passionate and he directly adresses President Reagan during it. 'Running to Stand Still' is quite nice and Bono, in response to the crowd singing for him, says "If this is America, I like it!" 'With or Without You' sounds fantastic with great vocals and Bono doing the Joy Divison snippet as well! '40' is a typical great version with some great belts by Bono.
