    Performance
    The unmistakable Larry Mullen Jr. helps to kick us off as the band tear straight into Gloria. The band are midway through the third leg of the War tour and sound on top form. Adam's bass slapping around the festival grounds, Larry's drums pulsating from the back and The Edge's guitar driving the melody throughout. I Threw A Brick Through A Window is next and follows a very similar pattern to Gloria, with Larry laying the foundation for The Edge and Adam. Bono sounds very good too, though nothing really challenging his vocal range yet. Adam's bass sounds incredible. Typically the band segue effortlessly into the next number, A Day Without Me, and this really highlights the energy and drive of the young band. Impeccable timing from Bono as he shouts "Hold it!" to the band before they head into the bridge, a snippet of Dear Prudence fills the space perfectly. Once Bono has pronounced himself Irish, the band continue with the black cat, An Cat Dubh. As usual, it leads into Into The Heart, a song that gives The Edge the chance to show off his simple, yet most effective playing style. Now it's Adam's time to shine as he leads off with that iconic introduction to New Year's Day beginning a run of four songs from the War album. The band are clearly on top of their game as they continue to play songs without flaw. After more Bono nonsense, the band begin Surrender. The Edge backing bono up on vocals, tight performance all round as Bono tries to give the crowd something to sing about. Two Hearts Beat As One is next and it, for me, has already established itself as a true classic in the set. The tone of The Edge's guitar is perfect, the rhythm is infectious. Let's Twist Again is throw in towards the end, just prior to a delightful instrumental performance from the band as Bono is off playing with the crowd. Sunday Bloody Sunday follows on in a typical throbbing fashion, an excellent effort topped off with a reprise. An extended Electric Co. closes the main set as Bono embarks on a journey to the top of the staging whilst the band play on. Amazing.

    For the encore, the band produce the lead single, live staple, and fan favourite from Boy - I Will Follow. This pushes Boy's representation up to five songs, one more than War at this stage. Great performance that sets us up nicely for the final song of the set. For the first time today, the band slow it right down with '40'. Perfect ending.

    Audience
    Ok, they're barely audible throughout due to the nature of the recording but it doesn't take away any of the energy.

    Rating: 2 out of 5

    Sound
    Excellent throughout. There's a couple of small blips, but they don't affect the listening experience too much.

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    Overall
    A thoroughly energetic, confident performance from the band. Each and every song is delivered to the highest standard as the band drive their songs home with what must've undoubtedly been one the best performances of the weekend. A truly exceptional show that highlights the power that the band possess.

    Highlights
    - A Day Without Me
    - Two Hearts Beat As One
    - Sunday Bloody Sunday

    Lowlights
    - Lack of an audible crowd
