Performance

Ok, this really lifted the show for me - ok, Bono recognised that his voice wasn't in perfect shape, but he made a great fist of it and his enthusiasm really drives the show. His shout of "I can sing!" during Streets just made me laugh, and the crowd really feed off of him and it really lifts everything. Everything that was great was in spite of Bono's voice (e.g. TUF, God Part II, NYD, WOWY/Shine Like Stars, Love Rescue Me etc.) by which I mean that it saddens me even more because, if his voice had been in good shape, and the sound was better, this could have been one of the great Lovetown shows. My highlight though (the point that I'll always remember this show for - bar the crap sound), which surprised me, was People Get Ready - the 2nd guy who played Bono's guitar was pretty good! I never really paid much in the way of attention to this because it's not a U2 song, but the performance here was great!

(PS - note to Bono; please don't sing 40 when your voice is fucked!)

Sound

I think it's suffice to say that we all agree the sound was fairly terrible. Unlike Gerard, Casper etc. I'm no audiophile but even I could tell that this recording has been bastardised to kingdom come, which is a shame because the show itself is great. Around God Part II, it seemed to recover a bit but not that much. I'm usually not to concerned about whether the boot is a soundboard or an audience recording in that, primarily, I want to hear the band first and foremost - a good crowd just adds to it, but I mean even this time round, the whole boot was dragged into the gutter by encoding so that Edge's guitar sounds like a hammer in a workshop and the crowd's noise (when it does come through) really batters everything. To this end, I reckon that soundwise, this rates pretty low - 3.5/5 stars seems a bit generous in its current state.
Recording: "Love Comes To Adelaide" - 3.5 stars

Overall

A really good show performance-wise, but with regard to the bootleg itself, you just can't get away from the trashy sound. As a bootleg, and whilst feeling generous, I'd give this 6/10. Not a must have, but if you are able to get past to the brutal encoding jobs, it's a fun show to listen to, which positively bleeds Lovetown era!
