This is one of the concerts that were scheduled as an extra gig after the show in Amsterdam on december 18th 1989 that had to be stopped preliminary due to problems with Bono's voice.
This one sounds great (as does Bono's voice, BTW
Overall performance: 4.5 to 5 stars (All I Want Is You is fan-tas-tic!!!!)
Audience: 5 stars
Setlist: 5 stars.
This is reminiscent (as is already said in one of the reviews on the concert pages) of the Point Depot concert from 1989-12-31 (or should I say 1990-01-01, which would be more accurate since the concert starts right after midnight?).
Anyway, this one is a great one and really a must-have for any (Dutch?) fan.

Performance:
The set gets off to a raucous beginning with an emphatic version of Gloria, and the band continue in this vein for much of the opening set up until New Year's Day - have to echo many of the plaudits re. A Day Without Me and the Dear Prudence snippet, great stuff. However, I did feel that things started to tail off with Surrender, and I felt the Let's Twist Again snippet in Two Hearts Beat As One was absolutely murdered. It's not my favourite song, and this version did little to curry much more favour with me. However, when in doubt, throw in Electric Co. - fantastic performance, even with the lengthy gap as Bono (as I understand it) goes walkies! This seemed to really get the crowd going again, and a rousing I Will Follow further sated the appetites. However, 40, wow - Bono murdered that lol! The little bits of improv. from Adam on the guitar did add to it, and I don't think the Give Peace A Chance snippet was a bad choice per se but OUCH talk about going out of tune... The band for the most part were on decent form - the clarity of Bono's voice at times was awesome, whilst the others provided a more than solid platform for Bono to play the crowds. However, 40 certainly leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.
4/5
Audience:
To be honest, I couldn't hear them but I don't know if that was simply due to the fact that my speakers aren't amazing or whether they really were quiet - I tend to think it's a case of the former though, because at times you can really hear them cheering and screaming as any pent-up festival audience will do.
3.5/5
Sound:
The clarity of the sound is pretty good for a 25+ year old recording, but I have to question the mix - Bono's voice is the loudest thing going, whilst at times Edge barely came through. Adam and Larry were at a decent level throughout, but the balance between Edge and Bono's respective volumes was certainly a negative for me.
4/5
Overall:
As a rule, I'm not that fussed over the earlier years of the band's career, although I'm always up for listening to the odd boot here and then and all-in-all I wasn't disappointed. The band were on form and did a fine job in throwing out a performance that seemed to really gee up a festival crowd, but I can't say it'll be a boot that'll live long in my memory.
3.5/5

All of the things that people have a main problem with such as Two Hearts I let go because the video is so good. Two Hearts for example is an absoulte riot with Angeline dancing with Bono during the Twist snippet.
Can I encourage anyone who has the audio-only bootleg to now download the iPod ready video. It's very worthwhile and in my view is right up there with Red Rocks (Red Rocks is better because it's a full-length concert). Also on the crowd, granted they can't be very well heard on the soundboard, but believe me they were there and really getting into it.
