    Only Milan and Stockholm '92 and Rotterdam Lovetown to touch it. Washington '92 wasn't unanimous, although equally highly praised by those who did like it.

    Remy's factoids suggest Sarajevo is currently the most popular boot. Will this beat it?


    Isn't that measured by the number of downloads or am I completely wrong?
  3. Sarajevo has had a few reviews from some not involved with the round table.
  4. hopefully this will too.....


  5. I made an amendment to my review, Dan!

  8. 1987-07-08 Brussels, Belgium - Vorst National

    Before you start reading the review, keep in mind I'm married with War, TUF and Lovetown.

    Performance
    Well, people said it was better than Rosemont, Paris or Tempe. I say it's equal. It beats Paris for sure, but for me, it's in the same list as Rosemont, Tempe and Edinburgh. (from a few weeks later).

    Putting this gig in the list of famous JT-shows has its reasons of course. Streets was a good opener. I like the intro, although I've heard better or more powerful ones. Anyway, the spirit was there right from the start. A shame though that Bono slightly messed up the lyrics at the start of ISHFWILF.
    The Unforgettable Fire was good, solid. But, and there comes TUF and Lovetown, I have a crush for certain versions from 1984/85/89/90. The last one, from Rotterdam 1990-06-01 is the most emotional and therefore the best for me. Must say this one is the best one I've heard from the entire Joshua-collection.

    Other standouts:
    In God's Country, I never really adore this one live, because it always feels like they don't enjoy it on stage. But this version kicks ass, good up-tempo, nice drumming and rather flawless.
    Electric Co. is the best from the Joshua Tree Tour. Not the best ever for me. (Red Rocks comes in mind and some others)
    Bad, emotional because of the Carol-remembrance. Good length too.
    WOWY, very solid and flawless. But again, I prefer Lovetown once again.

    Sound
    There were some problems when it was recorded. There is some distortion or interruption at certain times. A worthy 4-star audience although I must say Edinburgh sounds better.

    Audience
    Belgians, just like Irish, Scots, Britians, Dutch, Germans, Italians, Spanish...they're Europeans and somehow more in a party-mood. Awesome audience, good to hear them too.

    Overall
    I love shows bursting with energy. Therefore I love War, TUF and Lovetown. This show isn't a real JT-show, it has more energy and more joy. Not the best gig ever, but it gets in my alltime top 10.

    Performance: 5/5
    Sound: 4/5
    Audience: 5/5
  9. Edinburgh 87 better than Brussels soundwise? Gotta been kidding
  10. my review will come tomorrow evening....i havent had a chance to listen to it yet. so much stuff has been going on for the past week.....


  11. Yep, but that's me eh. Listened on my Zen on the CX300. Edinburgh is more clear for me.
