Comments

Overall sound is a little fair. Sound is very drum-dominated during the first half of the show, and tiny distant overall, and Bono's vocals, too. Music comes through more powerful in the balance, so the vocals stay behind it. The recording is quite flat, so it lacks crispness and clarity. Audience noise isn't an issue, only adding great participation, and singing every song. There are pops between a few of the tracks. However, the recording is still listenable.

Bono added some lines of Too Shy to Twilight, a hit by Kajagoogoo in the UK charts, the kind of haircut band that U2 rejects and names as "wallpaper music".
