    I'm going offline now...there's a special on TV here about Nathalie Holloway, that missing girl. Cya all tomorrow, I think!
  10. Hey guys. Looks like I'm late to the party, and since I think everyone already summed up the majority of my thoughts on this show, I'll just share a few things that spring to mind:

    The sound on this bootleg is amazing. I thought originally that I'd watch the DVD, but apparently the DVD has the old sound mix, and it was atrocious. I had to shut it off two songs in because I knew that the audio bootleg (Hodel's?) is 1000% better than the old one. And I wasn't disappointed. I hadn't listened to this boot in a few months, and hearing it again brought a smile to my face. Most bootlegs seem to be lacking in bass, but this one definitely wasn't. (Example: PRIDE)

    Add me to the list of people who really enjoyed the Molly Malone snippet on the end of Bad. I didn't know where the song came from, so I looked it up on wikipedia and it made me appreciate it even more. Anytime they personalize a song, I think it's a good thing.

    Starting the show off with "Beautiful Day" instead of Elevation = Brilliant. Loved hearing "The heart is a BLOOM!" over and over and over....as someone mentioned earlier, it is very similar to the beginning of the Vertigo shows with "Everyone."

    I'm not going to lie: I don't care for the studio version of "New York," and usually skip over it when I'm listening to Elevation tour bootlegs. But not this show. It's brilliant.

    Post 9/11, the band does a brilliant job in helping a wounded nation heal. Normally I would criticize a band for taking the bold stance and saying "let our music help you heal" but when you listen to these songs, you can make the case that each and every one is directly related/in response to the tragedy one month earlier. The boys pulled it off with grace. (but thankfully not the song "Grace," because that would have put everyone to sleep...)

    Finished, time to listen to this bootleg now.

    Joyce Center, South Bend, Indiana (10/10/2001)

    Beautiful Day - I love the start to this. First the speaking of the lyrics and then the throaty shouting on "the heart is a bloom!" Followed by a near perfect version of the song. The crowd are well up for it tonight. New Year's Day - Bono's seemingly sore throat is perfect for the cry out at the beginning of this song. Great performance, despite what I think is a mistake, at 1:40, Adam seems to forget what comes next lol. Edge's guitar as good as ever here, very good performance nonehteless. Until The End of the World - Jeeeeesus! I adore this song. Don't care where it's played, it's brilliant. I especially love the "love love love, love love, loo-ooo-ooove looove" bit. Two Tribes is also pretty good after it. Stuck In A Moment is agreat song and this is a pretty good performance. The crowd do a pretty good job as well. What's Going On? is a song I love U2 doing. Great performance. New York is a song I don't really like, the album version anyway, but live it's so full of life. Pretty good. Pride - Typically good performance of such a great song. Sunday Bloody Sunday...I don't think it's possible for me to rate this song poorly, ever. Like Pride, it's such a staple in their shows that it's just nailed to perfection every time. Kite is awesome, always has been. Really emotional every time. Angel of Harlemhaha, I love this song live too. I love to play it, love to sing it too. Great song. Staring at the Sun, beautiful little track. Bad...always brilliant. Streets, well, no version of this can be bad. ISHFWILF is great in this bootleg, the crowd really enhance it. With or Without You is just another fantastic song in the long line in this bootleg. What's the significane of the 10 months bit though?

    Elevation is a really good encore opener, crowd really going for it here as well. Good track. Followed by Mysterious Ways which is a song I really like, when done properly, when it's one dimensional and lasts over 7 minutes, it's tedious. I like this performance though. The intro is very strange, great though. One, is this seriously 10 minutes? Nope, there's a speech. Speech is very true though. Good performance follows. There's a brief Peace on Earth which is ok, an Unchained Melody would've been better, but considering the occasion, [Peace on Earth[/I] was quite apt. Finally, Walk On, which is a brilliant song. And it's awesome live.

    Overall
    Performance - 8.5 out of 10
    Crowd - 8 out of 10
    Sound Quality - 9.5 out of 10

    Comments - A very good performance although compared to some shows a very 'quiet performance. Not in terms of loudness, but interms of the songs. No Bullet the Blue Sky, no Fly, no Zoo Station, no Gone etc. Some melodic tracks chosen instead, which makes it a good show in it's own right.
