Performance

Yet another fantastic show from the Rotterdam 1990 run featuring the standard but always pleasant, excellent performances from the band and Bono, who once again deliver a phenomenal and unforgettable show to the audience, giving it their all to both make up for the Amsterdam cancellations the previous month and to cap off the tour on a high. Every song is performed very well with few mistakes present at all times, minus during I Will Follow where, for some reason, the band don't do the "Your eyes make a circle" section and instead ends the song earlier, which is a bit jarring and messy to hear but aside from this the show goes on without fault. It can be easily overlooked due to how strong every other song is.

Sound

Yet another fantastic Mvdv recording with clear sound.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Yet another fantastic Dutch audience who both participate and sing along whenever they can.

Overall

Overall, this is yet another excellent performance nearing the end of the Lovetown tour, with the band and Bono continue giving the performances their all and featuring some of their best moments on stage. The only flaw of tonight's show is the performance of I Will Follow, but it is easily made up by phenomenal and top renditions of songs such as All Along the Watchtower, All I Want Is You and Angel of Harlem, along with the notable last performances of MLK (Last performed until 1997), One Tree Hill (Last performed until 2006), Gloria (Last performed until 2005) and the last performance of God Part II. Even if the last song on that mentioned list of songs does start a bit rocky and has a moment where Bono noticeably sings the wrong lyrics, all in all, it is a top performance that is a definite Lovetown essential.

Highlights: Where the Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, One Tree Hill, Gloria, God Part II, All Along the Watchtower, All I Want Is You, Running to Stand Still and Angel of Harlem.
Lowlights: I Will Follow.
