Performance

A fantastic performance featuring the band truly giving their all from start to finish to begin this run of four shows that cap off the Lovetown tour featuring a tight performance with few mistakes and Bono's voice being in excellent shape, allowing him to practically hit whatever note he pleases to go for. The show, for the most part, constantly has strong performances followed by more strong performances with no noticeable decline in quality at all, making this one of the best performances delivered by the band throughout their whole career, with every song performed being a highlight.

Sound

Excellent recording by Mvdv that features clear sound for the entirety of the recording with a near-perfect balance between the music and the audience atmosphere.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Absolutely phenomenal. They participate and sing along whenever they can and bring the show up even further, which probably inspires the band to maintain their momentum of delivering hit after hit in terms of performance strength.

Overall

All-in-all, it is a phenomenal show that easily ranks among one of Lovetown's best, with everyone giving it their all from start to finish, resulting in constant excellent performances following a previous top-tier performance that truly showcases how the band wanted to both makeup for the disastrous Amsterdam night and how they wanted to end the tour off with a bang before they went and dreamed it all up again. There is practically no loose end here as the performance, audience recording, and the audience themselves all combine to result in a fantastic show.

Highlights: The entire set basically. Every single song is performed extremely well that it's hard to pick out any song in particular
