Sound
Not amazing or spectacular, but definitely an improvement over the original. It's a bit shaky at some points, but most bootlegs are...Steve did a pretty good job.

Performance
A routine performance. Nothing extraordinary or jaw dropping, but a solid show overall. Bono's voice seemed to be a bit weak from the start, but I think things picked up quite a bit after Bad. It's a good show, but our standards are rightfully set fairly high considering some of the great Zoo TV shows, and I don't know if this one met the standards all of us (well, most of us, anyway) set. There are a few things that stood out to me, though:
- Ultraviolet....Liked it, but as Casper said, it's not up there with Washington or Dublin. If I was the band, I would lock Edge in a room until he learned to play this again. I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that we see this on the next tour.
- My Girl....I've never cared this snippet. Don't know why, though.
- Love Is Blindness.....Great. Possibly one of my top 5 favorite performances of it. It was my favorite from the show.

Overall
I liked it, but it is by no means an "essential". If you're a someone with a lot of hard drive space, grab the upgrade. If you just want the basic Zoo Bootlegs, you can find a lot better. The crowd was your typical Italian crowd: Energetic, Enthused, and singing along with every song. I'm going to say that the Italian crowds are just as passionate and into the show as the South American crowds. And we all know that the South American U2 crowds are always amazing....
