Comments

Excellent audience recording by 'Godfather Records'. The tape plays loud and strong, so it sounds slightly harsh on occasion. However, sound quality is stunning with all instruments and vocals well audible and upfront. Crowd noise is noticeable, but not distracting, as people add live feeling.

Bono and the crowd sang 'happy birthday' to Gavin Friday right before All I Want is You. Beautiful Day included a nice snippet of People Have the Power at the end. Mary J. Blige joined the band onstage to sing One with Bono.

Note tracks 11 to 13 (CD2) are just bonus. Track 11 recorded in Toronto (Canada) on September 14th 2005 at the Air Canada Center. Tracks 12 and 13 recorded live at the Madison Square Garden in New York (NY, USA) on October 11th 2005.
