Performance

As with every Zoo TV show, we begin with Zoo Station. I think it's a song that they could just pull out every night and perform with a degree of comfort. This night was no different, clean performance and no mistakes. Quickly we change into The Fly, again, we start off like a standard Zoo TV night - Bono's vocals sounding a little lazy and Edge's falsetto lacking a bit of power. The Edge more than makes up for it though with the solo and Bono even seems to put some more effort in afterwards. Unmistakable introduction to Even Better Than The Real Thing, bringing with it a solid performance of the song, even if Bono's vocals don't seem to match the music in terms of power, the music almost leaves him behind. Straight into Mysterious Ways, as we'd expect. Again, the band pull out another clinical rendition, even Bono finds form towards the end of song with some nice falsetto's before and after the solo. One brings the show back down to earth, vocals are good, seguing into She's A Mystery To Me which is a nice change from Unchained Melody although not as good. "Jeeeesus?!" - no, not tonight. Until The End Of The World takes the show up a gear or two, fairly sound performance overall. New Year's Day keeps the pace running at full speed, sounds really good tonight. Bono adds some extra vocals to the beginning which add something to the introduction. Best vocals of the night now, Larry performing Wild Rover. From one Irish drinking song, to another. Tryin' To Throw your Arms Around The World is the kind of song it's difficult to not like. Good performance all round, though there are better on the tour. They follow up with a standard performance of Angel Of Harlem, Bono's vocals are standing out a lot more now than they did at the start of the show. That said, I'm not keen on his vocals in the first verse of When Love Comes To Town - Adam's vocals? No wonder they give him a verse on Passengers. No need to put Satellite of Love in the set, serves no purpose unless it's at the end of Bad. If it was at the end of Bad though, there'd be no Fool To Cry snippet. Bad sounds pretty good underneath the idiots in the crowd, real shame. Good snippets at end, work well. At least a really good crack at Bullet The Blue Sky shuts the mouths of those exchanging words in the crowd, followed up by a good performance of Running To Stand Still. The segue into Where The Streets Have No Name is always a pleasure to hear on a Zoo TV bootleg, this is no different. The audience know what's coming. A pleasurable listen any day of the week. The U2Start favourite up now, Pride. In reality, it's not bad, maybe overplayed but who cares when it sounds like this? A speech precedes I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, with Bono thanking Canada and blasting the ticket scalpers. Not overly keen on The Edge's guitar work during the introduction, a little messy. From the moment Bono starts singing, the song only lasts 2 minutes. Maybe worth cutting short when they go into a full cover of Stand By Me? One of the highlights for me actually, crowd seem to enjoy it too. Desire is pretty standard tonight, not as enjoyable as it has been on the tour. With Or Without You is little short of excellent tonight. Vocally, it's good, musically it's near perfect - a good way to slow the show in preparation for the closer. The Edge, as usual, nails it (Love Is Blindess). Excellent end to the night and if that left you feeling a little depressed, we're treated to usual Can't Help Falling In Love. Good vocals on this one from Bono, now let's hear Elvis have a shot.

Sound

The sound on this bootleg is good. Rated 4 stars, I think that's about right. Everything is clear and distinguishable which is good.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Good audience, come in and out throughout when needed. Will mark down though for some having a fight at the end of Bad and beginning of Running To Stand Still, absolutely ruin Bad. Some members of the audience stand out over the top of the track which is annoying.

Overall

Overall, it's a good solid setlist from the band. Some musical highlights from The Edge, some vocal lowlights from Bono. A rare performance from Adam and another cameo from Larry.

Highlights:
- New Year's Day
- Adam's vocal
- Fool To Cry/All I Want Is You snippets
- Stand By Me
- With Or Without You
- Love Is Blindess

Lowlights:
- The Edge's guitar on I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- Bono's vocals at points throughout
- Crowd arguing during bad.
