Performance

The New year's eve concert in Dublin should have been the end of the tour but because of the cancelled Amsterdam concerts U2 came back to Holland for four nights in Rotterdam. These were their last gigs with BB King and the band were clearly enjoying themselves.
When the show started with Bullet we all knew this was going to be special concert. They played Slow Dancing for only the second time ever, delivered a spectacular version of Bad and at the end they clearly loved playing 11 o' clock tick tock and Out of control.
It's the most relaxed I've seen them play.


Sound

It's an audience recording so it's not perfect. The drums sound hollow with lots of echo and there's some low missing.
Having said that, this is as good as audience recordings get.


Audience

The audience were loving every minute of the concert. Between BB King and the main concert the whole audience sang along to the Beatles and Stones songs that were played.
As Bono says at the start of Pride: "This is the only concert where the audience is noisier than the band. And that's the way we like it!".


Overall

I was one of the 7000 or so lucky people to be at this concert. I'd been to Dortmund a few weeks before and heard the new year's eve concert on radio but this was so much better!
This concert had everything: great set list, BB King, the band having fun, a guy from the audience playing on stage...
You can hear it in the performance on this bootleg; they're in great form and the audience are loving it.
