Performance

What a special performance this was! The entire band is clearly extra motivated due to the audience and giving their absolute best! Although Bono has some slight issues with his voice already, he's in great shape overall and both using his strong belting voice and his clean falsetto very effectively in all songs performed. The Edge takes a fall during 'I Will Follow', it is hilariously captured on the audience footage we have! Luckily, nothing bad happens and he immediately laughs about it.

'Bad' (as many other versions on the tour) ranks among the best performances of the song with Bono overcoming his vocal issues early on and delivering INSANE belts with gorgeous audience participation and later dancing with a fan. As usual on the tour, many songs, including 'New Year's Day' feature great phrasings and embellishments - the aforementioned song in particular as Bono feels the need to make up for him missing the cue for the second verse. Both encores are superb and absolutely off the charts with great snippet and great performances all around - including a surprising 'People Get Ready' after 'Angel of Harlem'.


Sound

Solid enough.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3.5 stars

Audience

Absolutely one of the best audiences ever! The participation not only during the songs but also in between and during both encore breaks is magical and deserves the highest praise!
