1997-09-30 - Tel Aviv, Israel - Hayarkon Park


setlist

Performance notes: This is the only concert U2 have ever played in Israel, or anywhere in continental Asia. This is the only U2 concert in the Middle East until a show in Turkey in 2010 (which took place on the western, European, side of Istanbul). The only other U2 shows in Asia have been off the coast of the continental landmass in Japan.

Itinerary documents distributed to U2's crew before the start of the second leg of Popmart reveal that one more concert was planned after the Tel Aviv gig: a show in Cairo, Egypt, on 1997-10-03. That concert, however, never took place.

Performance

A bit sloppy at times- not sure who it is, but someone completely loses his place on Mysterious Ways. But overall good.

Sound

Decent sound overall. For most of the show it is as crystal clear a soundboard recording you can get, but at times the mix gets a little wacky. This is especially evident on WTSHNN and Discotheque, during which the synthesizer playback becomes so overpowering it drowns out the rest of the band, and you may find yourself actually having to turn your stereo down.
Recording: "Tel Aviv - Soundboard Edition" - 4 stars

Audience

They seem to really love U2 in Israel!

Overall

Overall, good sound and one of the more enjoyable bootlegs for repeated listens.
