Performance

Where to start? I thought this was an ok gig. U2 has three era's during this tour, and very few shows from the first leg make the grade. I liked the Last Night On Earth cartoon bit, brought me back to my childhood with the cartoon lookalikes. UTEOTW has a great guitar intro, which should've been used for the tour. Accidental, but awesome. The band seemed very tired of playing any material that night, which shocked me. Discotheque and the encore crew save this one. HMTMKMKM is another star here. The thing that really pissed me off was how lazy Bono was sounding that night. And this goes for most of the PopMart show too. I think this is the period where he showed off his ego. Of course, the exceptions to this would be the PopMart greats. The song Rain was new to me, and I liked it.

Sound

Awesome sound, great crowd, couldnt ask for anything better (sorry Soundboards, but your audiences seem unusually quiet).
Recording: Soundboard - 4.5 stars

Audience

I listened to this, and the 128 (i think) kbps killed it. Gerard is right regarding the lossless. Other than that, it was great.

Overall

Parts of it kept me interested. UTEOTW through AIWIY was the best part IMO. The band seemed very tired, Bono a tad lazy, and me - left a little sleepy.

4/5 Overall - sound was good, band not so much, audience awesome.....for PopMart enthuists and huge U2 fans only.
