Performance notes: Before the show, the venue was evacuated due to a bomb threat. Thankfully, no bomb was found and the band were able to play a full concert. During the show, Bono made multiple jokes about the incident. This is the only full tour concert since 1987 to not feature Where The Streets Have No Name in the setlist.

Performance

I’m a sucker for an “atmospheric” entrance (MLK or The Ocean as openers are fabulous IMHO), and Hawkmoon delivers. Superb performance of an underrated song. And the Desire/All Along duo is perfect to follow up and really get the party started. A proper heartfelt rendition of AIWIY leads into a song that really, really, really should make a comeback SOON. God Part II. Superb. BTBS is awesome and the speech at the end of RTSS really has meaning in the space and time. Now, another song that needs a comeback – Loosen my lips! It must be Gloria! IWF and ISHFWILF are standard performances, but Knocking On Heaven’s Door is immense. Bono’s improvisation on the lyrics just brilliant. Then…Bad! Really good performance. VDL is lovely. And in NYD we get a rare run out of the “maybe the time is right” lines. Pride is a decent finish to a very good main set. The Lovetown encore was great and Angel/Lovetown doesn’t disappoint. LRM is superb towards the end of a set and then the regular “40” to finish off a mega night.

All in all, a great performance. Bono’s voice is at it’s height of power on Lovetown and the whole band seem to be having a party.

Sound

A decent recording, but not up to scratch with other Lovetown shows from Point Depot. But then again, it is an audience recording. Can't complain at all really.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Audience

So up for the show! No doubt spurred on by the wait for the bomb scare!
