    Cool next round begins today (Sunday) after final review/s come in.

    Stay tuned.
  9. I didn't commit to the BRT this week because of craziness with the new job, but I found myself listening to the show again tonight, so I'll inject a few quick thoughts.

    Performance: I tried to be nit-picky and pull something out that ruined the performance, but it's impossible. The only thing I heard that was off was Adam's bass in the opening bars of "In God's Country," which he quickly fixes. (and it's mistakes like that that I actually really enjoy in a show.) The band is on fire and they play with a lot of energy.

    5 of 5 stars

    Sound: One of the best audiences I've ever heard. Rock's Hottest Ticket, Denver, and Tempe are great places to start with this tour because the sound quality is off the charts on those, but this is right behind them. I used to hate audience recordings (when I first found this website) but now I realize they're so real, so raw. This is a perfect example of that.

    4 of 5 stars

    Audience: My favorite part of the show, without question. This show has so many moments where the crowd sings just as loud as Bono. It's right up there with Milan 92's "The Fly" performance or the "Dirty Ol' Town" from Point Depot on New Years Eve. They sing so loud on every song, often improving their own vocal lines, harmonies, etc. It makes for a really cool listen. (See New Years Day for a great example)

    5 of 5 stars

    Overall: Wonderful show. I'm not putting it above the Point Depot shows (those are sacred in my book!), but I prefer this show to Tempe and Denver for sure. Get it now.

  10. Nice one Jeremy. Short and sweet but spot on as usual.


  11. Aw shucks.....

    I meant to comment on this in my review. I actually love that Bono introduces the song so short and simply....and I think it actually sounds better without The Cry.

    Touching tribute to Greg Carrol too....
