U2start.com | Bootleg Round Table

1990-01-06 - Rotterdam

Crowd

Crowd, as usual on Dutch concerts, is AWESOME. Anything else to add.

Sound

Sound is solid and pretty good if you ask my opinion. I love that Rotterdam nights, although 01-10 sounds even better. It sounds fantastic for a 20 years old recording. The band is captured greatly, as well as the crowd is. Overall it is clearely 4 stars, but "subjectively", taking that 20 years factor, it deserves a 4.5 IMO.

Performance

What else must I add to the rest of reviews? Lovetown is astonishing. Raw, simple and virgin, but awesome.
Credits on individual performances go to MLK (awesome vocals, dear Mr. Hewson!!), of course to Unforgettable Fire (last performance so far, and probably [please God don't let my words be true] last performance ever). Also Desire and With Or Without You make appereance here, and Running To Stand Still is pretty amazing... I also liked Streets, although the performance itself was not special. Crowd always goes mad on Streets, therefore I love it

Summary[/b]

Pretty awesome show, even though (as Gerard said I think) it is a bit less powerful than 9th and 10th nights, which are among the best concerts on the Lovetown tour. Anyway, this show doesn't lack of anything. Sound, crowd and performance are all very good.

Overall 8/10

If it has to be the last one ever, it's at least a very good one...

hey dudes. I was going to do an iPod video of this show to spice the bootleg round table up slightly but. . . I converted the video and all was well but the audio was very dissapointing and I don't think that seeing the show on screen compensates for well below par audio when we are reviewing all aspects of the show including the sound. I do promise an iPod video shortly though.

Yep, at least we're not left with one choke-full, messed up last performance, it's a last performance to be remembered

MLK - I agree with others, one of the best performances. I was OK with the crowd singing

It wasn't the singing that bothered me. It was the talking by some ignorant people towards the beginning.

Nice review BTW.

In fact nice reviews everyone. Given me far too much to work with again....
