Comments

A bright recording of a very good concert. Again a powerful and crisp source, with music and vocals coming through pretty clean. However, it sounds harsh on a few moments, like Zoo Station, but the recording brings excellent sound quality overall. It also lacks more punch on the bass, although Adam notes are audible. There is minimal audience noise, usually placed between songs, with crowd adding a very nice live atmosphere.

The band changed the setlist order in the first songs, opening with Love and Peace or Else. This puts on display the difference between the current tour and ZooTV, PopMart and Elevation tours, where the beginning of the shows were too rigid / static. It seems The Edge fails to play the intro guitar riff of Sunday Bloody Sunday, as Bono remarks at one spot. As the previous nights, it seems Zoo Station still needs more rehearsal. Beautiful Day is highly well-received by the audience, as if it was a long-time classic. Finally, I have to admit that I really love tonight version of City of Blinding Lights, without the keyboard-introduction and bells sequences: it sounds to me harder, sharper.
