1992-06-15 - Rotterdam, Netherlands - Sportpaleis Ahoy

setlist

Performance notes: It would seem Ultra Violet (Light My Way) was originally intended to be performed at this concert. During Desire, the song normally immediately before Ultra Violet, Bono yells "no Violet, no Violet!"

Performance

A mostly fantastic performance nearing the end of the European Zoo TV tour with everyone in mostly fine form this evening, still performing things similarly to their 2nd night in Stockholm that occurred 4 days before this one however, the band do have their off moments in places which is noticeable when it happens and these include the following moments: The ending of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses being a bit messy with the final chorus happening slightly later than it should be, Bono having to count in during Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World, Bono changing the lyrics on Angel of Harlem for some reason and a pretty messy version of I Still Haven't Found. Some counterpoints to this are the following: A fantastic version of Mysterious Ways, A very good rendition of Bad featuring a duo of The Beatles snippets, with these being Norwegian Wood and You've Got to Hide Your Love Away and Edge ripping it up with his solo on Bullet the Blue Sky. Bono's also in good form at this show. However, it does seem that he stops singing and even sings in lower and more conservative places from around Pride onwards in the set for some reason, but for the most part, it is an excellent performance from a band that is well into the tour by this point.

Sound

Very clear sound due to it being an audience recording and soundboard matrix, which brings out the best in both recordings. There aren't any noticeable flaws, allowing for a smooth listening experience from the start of Zoo Station with the I Could Have Lost You intro all the way up to the fading out of the crowd after the end of Love Is Blindness.
Recording: "Definitive version (matrix)" - 5 stars

Audience

Fantastic Dutch audience, they're always there when you need them to be and are very good singers.

Overall

For the most part, a fantastic show from the end of the European Zoo TV tour, which in some places is quite similar to both the 2nd Stockholm and Kiel shows proceeding this, which is also given the bonus of Bono having quite a decent amount of football references up his sleeve tonight while also keeping the audience informed about what the score is during the game that night. However, there are a few questionable off moments in places which are very noticeable and were mentioned in the performance tab of this review, so it is a slight step down to those killer shows on the leg, but don't let that deter you as for the most part this is still a very good listen and I'd recommend giving this show at least one listen if you're a fan of the 1992 European and Outside Broadcast shows just like me I just wish they played Ultra Violet here instead of dropping it for one reason or another.
