Comments

Very powerful and full IEM tape of the European première of the Vertigo Tour. Sound is stronger and more full in this IEM than other IEMs of the Vertigo Tour, where the mono sound is more evident and make them to sound quite flat. The bad new is that there are some dropouts and lots of interferences and statics here and there.

Nice live feeling overall, with the band putting on a good show. There are snippets here and there, with Bullet with Butterfly Wings (Smashing Pumpkins) and I Can See for Miles (The Who) in The Electric Co, Here Comes the Sun (The Beatles) in Beautiful Day, No Regrets (Tom Rush) in Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own, or The Hands That Built America and Johnny Comes Marching Home during Bullet the Blue Sky. The band begin New Year's Day à-la-US Remix, with the piano sequence first, and later bass and drums kick in (as rehearsed the day before during the so-called 'Dress Rehearsal').
