Far too tired and need to have a little chat with you first also.

Think our rules need re-visiting personally. Will explain more tomorrow hopefully.

Evening guys. Sorry for never posting a review. As you can see, I haven't been on here a lot the past few days. These past few days have been the busiest of my life, and I'm afraid I will not be posting a review. I will say however, that this was an excellent idea, and this was one of the best vids I've ever watched. Thanks for the opportunity, Gerard.

I'm sure if you watched the video you can find 5 minutes sometime during the week to post your thoughts.

I just meant I didn't think I would be able to make the deadline. But if you want to hear my thoughts, I'll post a review. Apologies for not posting earlier.

We'd love to hear your thoughts when you get a chance...

NOTE: this review is for the video only, although I have previously listened to the audio boot

Sound
Sound quality is top notch. It's one of those rare recordings that sound amazing, but not too soundboardy. It's obvious that the sound quality of the DVD is far better than the audio bootleg.

Video

Not a big fan of audience shots, as I am very picky and usually only enjoy pro-shots, but this show was an exception. I thought the show was very well taped, and I think I'll probably explore some more audience shots. (Which I'd like some suggestions on which ones

) This is one of the few audience shots I've seen that actually made me feel like I was there, in the sense that there were some pull away shots, where you could see the majority of the crowd.

Overall

Overall there's really nothing bad to say about this show, other than Wild Honey, which made me lost for words. Can't stand the live performances of it. This show, for me, epitomizes the indoor shows of the Elevation tour. It's a shame we don't have a good dvd of that part of the tour (Thanks Hamish). The elevation tour has been slowly growing on me, and I think it might have surpassed the VT for me.

HIGHLIGHTS

- Encore was awesome. Every single song.
- The Fly on the Elevation tour. Need I say more?
- The band really seemed to enjoy themselves, especially Bono. Nothing improves a show more than seeing the Boys having a good time.
- Good setlist. One thing I prefer about this ET is that they changed the set regularly.
- Walk On is a good ender as always.
