Performance notes: A small group of fans are invited into the venue for the soundcheck and they witness performances of Dancing Barefoot (a Patti Smith cover U2 recorded for the When Love Comes To Town single but never played in concert) and She's A Mystery To Me (which didn't make its concert debut for another 2.5 months). In draft itineraries, an eighth Melbourne show at the same venue was listed for the next night, 1989-10-17. This show was never put on sale.

Performance

The Good:
Hawkmoon - I must confess, this is my first time hearing this live. I've been meaning to get a boot with this on it but just never got around to it. I enjoyed hearing it
Desire - good version i thought
Bullet - Good version. Not as good as the later versions but you can feel this song starting to take on its character. Love Bono's speech thru the middle.
Streets - great opening
Angel Of Harlem - with the horns its just great
When Love Comes To Town - I just love some BB King! A master!
Love Rescue Me - Bono sounds great on this one
God Part II - Kickass

The Bad:
Gloria - just not really getting into this version as much. I love the song though. Just not able to match the Dec 31, 1989 performance. That version kicks
All I Want Is You - uninspired

Sound

Not too bad, definitely better than 2.5 stars. It could just be my ears, learning how to adapt to the differences in bootlegs. But overall this a pretty decent sounding boot. Great audience sound.
Recording: "Melbourne Memoirs Vol 6 (boyacrobat)" - 3 stars

Audience

Overall

Indeed this boot should be rated higher. Good decent all around sound. Considering this was the last of 7 nights, the boys sound great. I feel an energy coming from them
