Comments

The second show at the TD Banknorth Garden, ex Fleet Center (it still wore this last name when the band played in Boston in May during the first leg), and what a good concert. The band returned again for two more shows in December. A very fine setlist, and it could be finer, 'cause Original of the Species and Bad appeared on the original setlist (according to website www.u2achtung.com), to close the concert right after All Because of You. But finally "40" was played instead of them. Fan reports say that Bono, Adam and Edge were prepared for Original of the Species, but Larry began with "40", as he was having a bit of pain in his arms. And if you hear the recording, what it happens between All Because of You and "40" perfectly matches with these reports. Anyway, this can't be confirmed. 

Again, a solid recording, with all instruments and vocals well audible and minimal crowd interference. The only issue to remark is that it sounds slightly distant and therefore it lacks a more crispy definition. Anyway, sound quality is pretty good. This recording is virtually flawless, as this is the "fixed" version by D.F.
