Performance

An excellent performance, truly great to listen to...the thing is, is that once you've heard so many Vertigo shows, they all tend to blend together....but not this one. The setlist is shaken just a tad, with Mysterious Ways towards the front, and a couple other surprises here and there (Mary J. Blige, Brandon Flowers)...the Vegas magic worked wonders on this Vertigo show

Sound

Nothing stellar, but very listenable in my opinion.

Audience

Fantastic, fantastic blend of crowd and band, great participation, and clearly a celebration of the Vertigo Tour.

Overall

Gotta leave this one with a four. The whole show left me wanting just a LITTLE bit more out of the boys. What I looked forward to most- early Mysterious Ways, Until the End of the World- let me down; they were just adequate. However, the encore was spectacular- more on that later- so instead of an average 3, I bumped it up to a 4.

I rate songs as I go on iTunes, listening to the boot, and use their 5-star system per song. ISHFWILY thru Sometimes all earned 5 stars for me. Those performances were amazing. From there, it took them until "One" with Mary J. Blige to really elevate me again. That performance was THROUGH THE ROOF, AMAZING. I never liked her studio cut of the song, but DAMN- something about the live atmosphere swept her up and just took the song to an entirely different level. After that, it was all upwards.

The entire encore is where this show is at. From Zoo Station all the way thru Bad, I couldn't stop rating the songs 5 star. Every single song in the encore- from the tired "With or Without You" to my not-so-favorite "All Because Of You"- every performance was worth 5 stars.

I always find something to love about random shows that U2 does, which is why I don't even really "hunt" for good shows anymore. It occasionally becomes a matter of point-and-click once I'm on a tour's page. If you're considering this show, download it now, and stop wasting time looking for anything else. This one's worth it.
