    Did you like it ?

    How about you Nick, Ross and Emiel ?
  2. Oh dear, Pato is hunting me down.

    I've not been busy, just lazy and taking a little U2Start break. I'll review this show though, and this time I promise. I'll have a review up by midnight UTC.
  3. Right guys, sorry it's late, but it's here finally!!!! What a show!!!!



    Performance - 5 stars

    Superb performance from all of the band. Almost faultless. Great set list too.


    Audience - 4.5 Stars

    Can't hear them too well but you can tell they are good with the interaction Bono has with them.


    Sound - 4.5 Stars

    For the age, it is amzing sound quality. Loses 0.5 stars because of a few skips here and there.


    Overall - 5 Stars

    This boot is a must for any fan. For those who love the early stuff it is a great example of a wonderful boot, and for those who don't listen too much to early stuff, this should soon change your mind!!

    Highlights:
    -Tomorrow (my favourite version ever).
    -Gloria
    -I Will Follow
    -Out Of Control
    -October

    Lowlights
    -A few skips in the sound


  4. Tomorrow is such a great track live. Arguably the best song on October for me, but it really does shine live.
  5. Performance:
    Gloria is just astonishing as expected. It's the opening song and it doesn't let down in the slightest. Absolutely sublime. Another time keeps up the beat from Gloria and it's no spoiler to say at this point that the beat is never lost throughout this entire show. I Threw a Brick Through a Window is a song which I usually don't care for much but it has to be said that this is the best performance of said song that I have ever heard. A day without me is up next and I'm going to be cruel but honest. That song passes right over my head; as great a performance as I'm sure it was, I just don't like the song at all. Never fear, An Cat Dubh is here! Extraordinary performance, not much else needs said. Into the heart ties in beautifully, just as we would expect.

    I'm throwing in a new paragraph here, but it almost doesn't feel like there's need. The energy just keeps on flowing! If anything it was Bono's speech that prompted a new line. Rejoice doesn’t not disappoint; the sound of four men trying desperately to prove themselves, and succeeding massively. Electric Co is another of my favorites, and these early performances just had so much energy it's almost tangible. I fall down is executed perfectly, although little more can be said for it. Count that as a positive or a negative. However you prefer.

    October, and the trees are stripped bare... If anything this feels a little rushed. I can't say anything bad about it really, other than it felt like the band were dying to get into "tomorrow" so badly that they skipped over this a little fast. The tempo felt a little rushed. With that I move on. Tomorrow next, and I've got to say I enjoyed it greatly. I totally agree with the above reviews. The best performance of this song (that I've heard anyway). Has I Will Follow ever let you down? No? Well it never will. Twilight does bore me a bit as a song, I must admit. Executed to perfection here though. No complaints. Out of Control at this point in the set gives a good scale on which to assess how the band's energy is doing after 13 songs. The outlook: Fucking fantastic!

    Fire is a secret pleasure of mine. One of the better songs off of October. Not entirely sure it's got the stuff to be an encore opener, but it's excellent nonetheless . 11 O’clock Tick Tock is just what I was looking for in this encore. Can't fault it; absolutely loved hearing it, giving this astonishing show the send off it needed. Ah, The Ocean. Maybe not quite as synonymous with the end as 40, but I love this song as a set closer. It has a beautiful simplicity to it.


    Audience:
    The performance of the band really took away from the audience. I forgot they were there.

    Sound:
    A little gem from this era. Really didn't expect it to sound this good. There are a few skips here and there though.

    Overall:
    Excellent choice for the BRT. I dare say that this magnificent little show probably would have been forgotten if it were not for you, Pato. Thank you very much!
  6. Question: The 6-27-87 Croke Park bootleg doesn't have all the songs performed. Now sometimes this happens, but these songs are widely available! What happened?

    EDIT: Just realized some of the songs are cut (Pieces of interviews in the songs), but still? You can put cuts in right? It would make it more complete!

    Also someone who edits things like that, could you rip the video songs not in the bootleg, edit them (get rid of interviews) and put them in like that?

    I agree Tim, best song on October and really does come alive when played on stage.

    Is it Edge playing the flute (or whatever the wind instrument is, I don't think it is a flute is it?)?
  9. he is .. more or less .. a tin whistle
