Performance

This show needs no introduction from anybody and is a phenomenal conclusion to both the Lovetown tour and the Rotterdam 1990 run of shows that builds upon and improves on virtually every aspect of the three preceding shows. The band's performance tonight is nothing short of excellent, with them once again delivering a top show with few mistakes, giving their all to the Dutch audience before they go away and dream it all up again, taking a break from touring for 2 years. However, the absolute star of this show's performance is Bono. He sings like a possessed man tonight and is in fantastic vocal form for the entirety of the evening, with performances such as Desire, All Along the Watchtower and Bad, to name a few, being nothing short of magnificent renditions with energy and enthusiasm that last for the whole 100-minute long show.

Sound

A near-perfect sounding audience recording just like the rest of the Rotterdams. That's one thing this run of shows has as a positive, too. All four shows have excellent-sounding recordings and have a great balance on everything.
Recording: "All I Want Is U2" - 4.5 stars

Audience

Once again, the final Lovetown show is backed by a fabulous Dutch audience, which, like the previous three shows, sings and participates whenever possible.

Overall

Overall, the last night of "80's U2" is a phenomenal performance from start to finish, with every aspect of this show being perfect and one of the best shows ever performed by the band in their whole career. Everything clicks into place here, from the audience, the band's performance to even the audience recording that captures the show, resulting in one of the best U2 bootlegs ever. Seriously, this is an essential U2 bootleg for both overall and for Lovetown and one that one should not miss out on at all due to how fantastic everything is here.
