Every performance is...well, just about every positive adjective in the book. Stellar, amazing, spot-on, brutally honest, fun, energetic, excited, enjoyable...you NAME it, that's what this performance is. It simply never lets up. The show tricks you into thinking you're about to hit a lull- a performance carries on perhaps 30 seconds too long, or an ending of a song is just ever so slightly off that you think- "This is it! Here comes the low portion!" And then the song after starts, and your head trip starts all over again.
Sound
Perhaps not perfect, but sound quality is of such minor importance with a gig of this quality that the things that could be improved on are lost in the magic. In reality, this should probably be a 3.5, but you'll HEAR it as a 5 star bootleg because of it's beauty...so I'll be fair and knock it down a half a point. Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars
Audience
Perfect mix of audience and band, and the audience is ecstatic. They sing along, (With or Without You's verses are exceptional), they cheer....they share the love with the band.
Overall
This is one of the more magical shows I've ever listened to. Recommended to me by Gerard, I couldn't possibly be more thankful for a point in this show's direction. Often times- moreso recently- in my bootleg listening, I find myself saying "Yeah, it was good, but I don't think I'll ever pay it any attention again". Thankfully, this show turns that around. I'll revisit this show all the time. Portions, possibly quite frequently.
Ultimate Highlights:
-Running to Stand Stil
-The Electric Co (rivals a spot for the best version of this song EVER)
-Bad (electric...spills into your veins, fills your heart and turns it to glass; proceeds to shatter it at the climax. Tearjerking and beautiful)
-With or Without You (Bono saying "pick it up!" as the band proceeds into the small Edge-driven part of the song between the "oh-oh"s and the "Shine Like Stars' snippet really made this song for me, for some reason)
