Comments
A brilliant recording with a quite clean and solid sound. Both instruments and vocals come through very powerful and crowd noise is absolutely minimal throughout the concert, softly audible between songs (the only issue to remark is a bit of cheering at the beginning of Mysterious Ways). This is almost as bright as other Zooropa'93 tapes, so for sure features excellent sound quality, and I even would say it borders with exc+ rating. This is one of my favourite gigs from the Zooropa'93.
The band delivered a strong performance in the first of eight stadium shows in Italy. After Desire, MacPhisto rings the Irish group Clannad to wish them with the audience a 'happy birthday', as they were celebrating their 20th anniversary in Dublin.
