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

As this was the last night of a 7-night run, the band wanted to make it a special night, and we can say they succeeded in it, the show is flawless, the setlist is near to perfect, I was very happy to see 'Bad' and 'SBS' dropped to make way for rare tracks like 'Hawkmoon 269' or 'God Part II.'
Bono is in a very talkative mood this evening, he changes the middle part of 'Bullet The Blue Sky', talks all over the intro for 'WTSHNN', he's really into it, the band also enjoys every single minute of the concert. I noticed only one weak moment, the snippet of Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' is really really unnecessary during AIWIY, especially when sang before the third verse.

Ups: Hawkmoon 269 (fantastic song live, get it back, please!), Running To Stand Still (one of the best live renditions of this song), Angel Of Harlem (horns!, horns!), God Part II. (it's a killer live tune)

Downs: Sexual Healing snippet

Sound

The quality was way better than I expected, the first couple of minutes were hissy and too loud, but the taper found a better position, so the overall result was way better than a 3 star quality, I would give it a 3,5. There's only one major glitch, during the first verse of AIWIY, for the rest of the recording, there are no big mistakes.
Recording: "Melbourne Memoirs Vol 6 (boyacrobat)" - 3 stars
