Comments

This is the last night in Dortmund, and the third of three masters by 'bobfather'. Very similar sound to the other two masters, with a crisp and close output. Again, crowd noise is certainly audible, but not too disturbing and they add a very nice live feeling.

 

All Along the Watchtower needed to be re-started after a false start. After the encore, Bono got some voice problems, especially on Love Rescue Me, so the band ran into a short set omitting "40". Reports said lots of people in the audience walked away frustrated as the show only lasted around 75 minutes.
