    Glad you're back!
  12. Let me start by saying that the intros at the Popmart shows are, in my opinion, the best beginning to a show the band has ever done. I get chills every time I hear "Pop Muzik" on a bootleg, especially that part where the vocals drop out and it's just the drum loop playing that high-hat heavy dance beat. When the crowd realizes for the first time that the band is walking to the stage from the back of the stadium and let out that primal shrill, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. <i>This</i> is what going to a Popmart show was about. Absolutely my favorite part of every Popmart bootleg.

    "Mofo" sounded exceptional on this bootleg. I don't know if it's my new Sennheiser CX300s or what, but this particular mix blew me away. I heard every single detail of the looped drumbeat like I've never heard before, especially at the part right when Edge holds those high notes (2:25 into the song). Amazing.

    Am I the only one that thought that "Last Night On Earth" was dragging? Probably the fact that the master tape is over 10 years old now, but there were times where I thought the tempo was really dragging.

    Dear U2: Please drop "Until the End of The World" from the setlist for your next tour. The song was cool and fresh in 1992, but perhaps its time to put that song away and dream it up again.

    Loved the beginning of "Pride", where it's a couple bars of just Larry on the drums before Edge chirps in with those famous harmonics. Anything they can do to this song to make it different or stand out is good by me. Perhaps this one should be dreamed up again too.

    I loved how the band dropped out in the middle of "One" so Bono could sing with the crowd for a bit. 150,001 people singing in unison = AMAZING. Also, Edge really nails the solo on this version, which leads to another moment in this show: Edge's ringing guitar right before the "Here Us Coming" snippet gets me every time. (4:15 into the song)

    Sound quality was pretty good, although I was hoping that we'd hear a little bit more of the audience. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's hard to get a sense that this was U2's biggest show ever. 150,000 people sure sounds like 20,000 on this bootleg...
