Comments

Second and last show in Milan, with the same setlist than the previous night. Maybe the band were not very happy with the job they did on the first night, recorded for an upcoming DVD, and put on another strong but identical concert. Again, the live atmosphere inside the stadium was excellent, and the band delivered a bright performance. As occured the first night, the Symphony Orchestra of Coccia Theatre in Novara came onstage to play Original of the Species, adding the string section, and again the U2 crew member Terry Lawless played the piano, so Edge could play guitar.

About the tape, it brings a raw sound, with music and vocals coming through tiny distant and unpolished, and a muddy low-end. A good amount of audience noise can be heard, but less detracting as I expected it could be. Some gsm interferences are also noticeable, mostly at the beginning of Original of the Species. Anyway, sound quality is more than decent, so this item is pretty listenable.
