One of their best ever performances. I never get tired of listening to that one version.Streets from that night too is my single favorite performance by them, ever. Just pure raw power--amazing.
Yes, these shows are amongst their best ever. I remember this story where Bono forced his voice too much on the Amsterdam gig on the 18th of december, only a few days before the Depot-gigs. They had to leave the stage early and Bono rushed to see a doctor in an Amsterdam hospital. This doctor told him to keep his mouth shut for a long time, since he had a serious laryngitis.
I'm still glad that Bono was so pigheaded and didn't listen to this man, otherwise we wouldn't have had these amazing shows. I listen to them very often. From the Depot shows I got the 26th and the 31st (actually, it should be 1990-01-01, but okay) and from both shows I got two copies: one for listening to at home and one for listening in the car. When I get in my car at 6:15 am in the mornings, I'm always wide awake at the first few notes, yelling along.
An official DVD is way, way, way overdue!
