Performance

Negatives –
• Not so keen on Beautiful Day performance
• Miracle Drug isn’t great vocally and lacks a little cohesion (but the guitar is great, especially Edge’s solo), but that isn’t isolated to this boot. Probably explains why they dropped it for later legs.
• No Unchained Melody at the end of One which was a good feature at other concerts during this stage of the tour; BUT (see below)
• No “Shine Like Stars” on WOWY (not common on this tour though)
• You get Party Girl with absolutely no recollection of the lyrics by Bono!

Positives
• New Years Day is strong
• Love “No regrets, no tears goodbye” snippet at end of SYCMIOYO
• Edge’s guitar on LAPOE is some of the best I’ve heard
• Audience + performance during SBS is very good
• Very good Bullet, good snippets, but I can’t hear a Please snippet as listed on this site?
• Great little bits in Streets – “I love you Adam Clayton” and “Nice one The Edge”.
• We get ‘Do you hear us coming Lord” in One, which wasn’t usual in this stage of the tour
• Great The Fly
• Excellent snippet of My Sweet Lord at end of Mysterious Ways
• Audience excellent during WOWY
• You get Party Girl (Edge knows it at least!)!!
• I always liked the Vertigo encore (maybe because they did it at the show I went to!)

Sound

Negatives –
• On headphones the sound flits from ear to ear occasionally which is off-putting.
• Audience noise is a little intrusive occasionally, especially on quieter songs eg One & Yahweh (singing wrong lyrics, talking during song etc)
• Edges guitar varies from being very prominent in the mix to a little quiet
• Bass is a little quiet

Positives
• Despite the above it is all very clear and one of the better boots of this part of the tour that I have heard.
• Bono is very clear at all times
• Larry is very clear
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars
