  1. I didn't read MWSAH's review, and it's still Saturday here in the States. I'm in, I hope. What are the rules for time? I've downloaded the show already too.

    I think I've got the same problem too.

    EDIT: never mind...

    You've got a week now to post a review and then discuss the gig as much as you like.

    Welcome on board, added

    Thanks mate... I've got 6 different ways to listen to it (various speakers and headphones). I heard it last night, and a lot of you will be surprised about something in my review...

    Usual drill. You have until the 18th to post a review.

    Please review either the new links provided by Casper or the original links on the bootleg page (say which in your review) and also that you have the show before saying you'll post.

    Note: I'm reviewing Casper's upgrade, the links that were found in this topic, not the links currently listed on the bootleg's page.

    Sound:
    I went back and forth about the sound on this one. As you know, I had some problems with the soundboard-iiness of the last show, but this one is just a LITTLE too audience-y for my tastes. There's got to be a happy medium, right? I found it pretty annoying that you could hear specific audience members screaming or shouting "Woooo!" all the way through show, many times drowning out the instruments or the vocals. That's my biggest beef with the sound on this boot. I can't really comment on Casper's upgrade vs. the original files, since I haven't listened to that source in a while. There were times where the sound was a little tinny for my tastes, but the mix of the instruments was good, there was decent bass, and no real moments of distortion, which I attribute to Casper's remaster. Thanks, Casper!

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

    Performance:

    Alright, I might be incredibly biased on this one, since this is the only show I've ever been to, but the performance at this show was simply flawless. I noticed 2 lyrical flubs by Bono (Amazing Grace, Walk On), but those were very minor mistakes in an otherwise flawless show. Seriously. It's amazing. Everyone was spot on the whole night.

    Rating: 5 out of 5.

    Show Highlights:

    Performances of the whole band. Unbelievably good.
    Bono's falsetto on "In A Little While" was the best I've ever heard. Hit every note perfectly.
    Discotheque - Please guys, bring this one back.
    Staring at the Sun snippet - Fits into the end of Discotheque perfectly.
    Sweetest Thing - Bumped off the setlist to make room for Kite later in the tour, but good while it lasted.
    The "Joey Ramone" set. One- Amazing Grace - I Remember You - Walk On.....very touching, very well excecuted.

    Show Lowlights:
    None.
    (okay, I'm biased!)


    Overall:

    This one's staying on the iPod and hard drive for good. Sure, it's got special meaning to me, but if you enjoy audience recordings and don't mind the crowd noise, get this show immediately. The performance is perfect.

  12. Almost forgot.....Here's my ticket stub from that night!
