~General Comments~
Not a lot to say on this one. The show wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be but it was still poor. This was a band who were suffering from stupid decisions made on their behalf. They were so under rehearsed it was actually painful to here. Why play songs that when you literally don't have a clue how to (Do You Feel Loved, Angels, Staring At The Sun. . .) I think the band tried its best but Bono ended up being the weak link with his come and go vocals and forgetful lyrics.
Sound
#Varied at times but worthy of 4 stars.
#It's great to here a really great bass bootleg and this is one of them.
#Didn't like the crowd. They were good in places but generally flat and impatient and humorless (they just didn't get Daydream Believer. Listen to Singin in the rain from Leeds to hear the contrast)
Performance
#Why was Bono so in love with this show. 'If every nights like this then we'l be fine'. Good one. Apart from Bono the only weak thing was the show itself. The rest of the band were good.
#Adam's bass was fantastic.
#Great setlist but poor delivery.
#Mofo intro was poor, I Will Follow, Do You Feel Loved, Angels, Staring At The Sun and Bullet were all poor.
#Have to make a special note for the performance of Miami. It's a song that I hate (and always will) but it would be harsh to fault Bono's delivery.
#WOWY was fantastic. Adams Bass was awesome and there was a slight dance edge to the drumming which sounded equally great.
#Everything else was alright but below par
Summary
I'd rather have free space on my ipod rather than this show. It wasn't brutal but it was still poor. Could you imagine seeing them on ZooTV then seeing this
. My dislike of most things Popmart has not been altered. I did feel kinda sorry for the B-mans spirited attitude during the show. He was only kidding himself.Next show please. . .
