Performance

The guys didn't really have it together here. Theres all the stories about Bono having really bad vocal problems during this show, but to be honest, on this occasion it's the band and not Bono that really fails to perform. They are pretty flat throughout. If God Will Send His Angels has a pretty awful arrangement. Do You Feel Loved gets going towards the end but its pretty flat most of the way too. Miami is great mostly except that Bono sings the third verse in the wrong key which kind of ruins an otherwise great performance. Bullet is, quite honestly Shocking. Average enough performances of Please and Streets are the highlights of this poor show.

If you're getting this show you might as well get the video. Its not one you're going to play very often. Video quality about 3.5/5


Sound

Pretty damn good sound quality throughout. No major complaints.
Recording: Soundboard - 5 stars

Audience

The start off very excited, and in fairness to them they try to remain so throughout but the quality of the performance leaves them pretty stunned I think.

Overall

Its worth a listen just because its the Popmart opener and you can see how the tour developed. You won't listen to it a second time though.
