Comments

Very solid recording overall, with quite crisp and clean sound. Audience noise is minimal, and placed in the background. A bit of distortion / static is audible in the last songs, more noticeable throughout "40", as if something was touching the mics.

There are a couple of edits. The first one is placed between Tomorrow and Two Hearts, not very noticeable as it doesn't have a rough transition between both songs. The second edit can be heard in I Will Follow, as the song ends abrupty, missing the very last seconds. The last one is located between Surrender and Like a Song, but it only affects to crowd noise.

Several songs were premièred that night, as it was the first date of the War Tour. They were: Two Hearts Beat As One, Seconds, Party Girl, Like a Song and "40". This concert features the only time that U2 has played Like a Song. Note that Bono introduced Party Girl as being the first time the band was going to play it and probably the last time.
