Performance notes: First performance of Party Girl in eight years and three days. Last performance of Even Better Than The Real Thing until 30 March 2011. When Bono is snippeting Van Morrison's Gloria at the end of Desire, he inserts some other lyrics that one may initially assume to be U2's Gloria, due to some similarities: "Oh Lord, open my lips/Anything I can, I will do for you/And my mouth shall shout up your praise". However, although the last line does not resemble any in Gloria, the lines do bear a strong similarity to Psalm 51 from the Bible. As the connection to Psalm 51 appears stronger, the snippet is credited to it rather than Gloria.

Performance

The band wasn't in great form, particularly Edge. Several mistakes early in the show took away from the great energy they were playing with. I though Even Better Than the Real Thing was one of their worst performances of that song.

Sound

Good, but not great. Some noticeable skips were a little distracting, but overall, it was more good than bad.
Recording: "Heart-Shaped Show" - 4 stars

Audience

The audience was full of energy. They were pumped for Elevation, and kept it up throughout the show. I never was distracted by them.

Overall

I appreciate the effort of changing up the setlist, with Pride early and Beautiful Day late, but there wasn't much else special. EBTTRT was not good. Out of Control was also a little weak. There was some good though. While I love Bad>40>Streets, Allison in place of 40 was very good. I wouldn't want it for every show, but as a changeup, I loved it. Stay was beautiful as always. I love the Elevation version of the Fly. The encore was also great, with the She's a Mystery to Me snippet really standing out. The long Msrk David Chapman speech is outstanding in this show. It wouldnt be my first choice for an Elevation recommendation, but a good show nonetheless.

Highlights: Bad, WTSHNN, Stay, The Fly, BTBS, One
