Bootleg Round Table

Originally posted by ReclinermanThe Electric Co... Oh. My. God. That song sounded like they were going to destroy the world.

Originally posted by ReclinermanI can't help but think of Bono's quote, "We had nothing but 'it'." This gig really shows. They're just four men in overdrive, not planning to stop for anything. It's cool to hear that.

Originally posted by JeremyOverall, I love this bootleg. Sure, the audio quality isn't spectacular, but the crowd's energy alone makes it worth having. Oh, to be able to jump in a time machine and check out the band's early shows......

Originally posted by ChrisBesides the sounds quality not being that great, this is one rocking boot. You ear adapt to the sounds quickly. The energy throughout the show is great. I'd recommend this boot.

Originally posted by NateOverall I felt this was a great show. The energy was there, from both the band and the crowd. The audience seemed to have an intense passion, especially during the opening numbers.

Originally posted by GerardGood show, good recording, good performance. Solid all round. How great is it to think that people in the audience were recording U2 that early on? Just another band passing through to most but they had fans devoted enough to come and recordthem. Would you or I think aout recording a show of some random band that we went to see? I know I wouldn't. The crowd reception and participation was great. It was heart warming to hear and feel the warmth of the British crowd to the 4 Irish boys onstage in a time when relations between the two countries still weren't great. Will I kep this show on my iPod? No, but i'll keep a few ofthe performances for my Random playlist and i'll remember the show for a long time.

Originally posted by JeremyOne of the highest energy gigs I can remember listening to, which is really cool to think about. Here's a band coming off their first major album our, and they're coming home (somewhat) after playing across Europe and the United States. The crowd sings along and really carries the show for a lot of the songs. You can tell the guys are really having fun and enjoying themselves at this show.

Originally posted by ReclinermanHistorical note: This was the gig attended by Bruce Springsteen & Pete Townshend that would be referenced in Bruce's Intro for U2's Induction and in U2 by U2.

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]Of course NOT!!!!It's a SOUNDBOARD, not Audience! The rate is bad on this site, I will change it in a few minutes.

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]DONE. It's Soundboard now.

Originally posted by germcevoystill only 4 though. When the new site launched all bootlegs reverted to audience so theres plenty of soundboards lurking in the pages listed as audience. I find them all the time.

Originally posted by haytrainI'm traveling for the next two weeks, so unfortunately I'm going to miss both this week's show and next week's....Enjoy the shows!

Originally posted by jean_pasquerelI opened my ears for this week's show, please count me in!
