Performance

Bono finally sounds fantastic again and delivers a great performance throughout! Maybe the excitement over this led to the band finally changing the set again, tonight playing 'Southern Man' instead of 'People Get Ready' during the covers section. The band is doing REALLY well too and embellish various songs like 'Still Haven't Found' early on in the show.

The 'Exodus' snippet is one of the more powerful ones with the crowd getting invited to participate and Bono dragging it out a bit more, allowing the band to embellish this section greatly! 'The Unforgettable Fire' is still rough on the softer parts but Bono makes it up with AWESOME adlibs before the final verse. 'Exit' is a FANTASTIC rendition that is extended to over five minutes with a full verse of 'Riders on the Storm' being snippeted!

'Sunday Bloody Sunday' is great and even features a full speech by Bono before the "NO MORE" section about the Derry shootings of protestants in the early 70s. 'Bad' is the definitely one of the raspiest versions I've heard but Bono nails them notes and makes for a great rendition with some sweet snippets. 'Running to Stand Still' is beautiful with a great "Still running..." section and I would have loved to hear all of 'With or Without You' and '40' at this show...

Sound

As usual on this page, a much better sounding recording of the show hasn't been added here yet (taped by Barry Barnes) and it sounds fantastic! Unfortunately, it is missing the encores entirely, so the worse sounding source had to be used for that and it's still missing most of 'With or Without You' and all of '40'.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Audience

Tonight's audience is an improvement over last night although they still aren't better than just great, not singing along and taking over as loudly as other audiences on the tour.

Overall

Highlights: I Will Follow, Trip Through Your Wires, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Exit, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Southern Man
