Performance

Good performance, but it's very average for the ZooTV Tour, nothing really passionate or spectacular.

Edge makes a few little mistakes early in New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is pretty long and has a strange sound, which makes it quite an interesting performance.

Bono starts Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World with the 'sunrise like a nosebleed' verse and seems to stumble over some of the lyrics later on in it.

With or Without You is also played with a rather odd sound, and Bono slightly changes some of the lyrics and the tempo near the end.

Love Is Blindness is played extremely well. Definitely a Top Five performance more me, better than the one at Stockholm.


Sound

Good sound, not great. Usually loud and clear but flickers and fades here and there.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3.5 stars

Audience

Good audience, chatter gets in the way of the show a few times.

Overall

As I said, it's a bog-standard ZooTV concert. It's good, but nothing special, really. You could probably pass it over, unless you're a ZooTV superfan or completist, or, like me, like to collect U2 shows that are odd for some reason or another. This show has plenty of oddities: the only (to my knowledge...) show U2 have played in my current home state of Alabama, as well as some rather odd-sounding and therefore interesting performances of several songs.

Highlights:
-One, with My Girl instead of Unchained Melody
-Stand By Me (good performance but not great, but nice to see it in the set)
-Whiskey in the Jar (same reason)
-New Year's Day (odd, rather heavy sound makes it quite neat)
-With or Without You
-Love Is Blindness (extremely well done)
