Performance

The introduction to City of Blinding Lights is amazing. Absolutely stunning. On the whole, it's a strong beginning to the show. The crowd really elevate Vertigo here, Bono's vocals sound a little rough. Adam's bass sounds great. Bono plays with the crowd at the start of Elevation, I don't know what he says but they love it. Vocals are considerably easier in this song and that helps Bono. The band interact well at the start, and it carries through. Good performance, even though Bono messes up late on.The introduction to Until The End of the World sounds tight, Bono starting to sound a little more rough now, vocals keep breaking and there doesn't seem to be a lot of energy from him. It's a litle frustrating because the rest of the band sound on top form and Bono is letting them down. Vocally, the Vertigo Tour wasn't an exceptional showcase of his ability. It is the 118th show of the tour though. New Year's Day is pretty much the same story as the previous song, vocals are a little better though. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for is a marked improvement in my opinion, not an amazing performance but it's fairly decent. Beautiful Day sees yet another uninspired effort from Bono, there has been some fluctuation already and we're only seven songs in. Have to give credit for the "You can touch me..." section though. Nice local vocal change in the "See the world..." part too. The rest of the band still sounding great. The First Time is a beautiful little number, Bono comes in slightly early but it doesn't matter that much. Not keen on the interaction with the crowd though. Bono really steps up for Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, excellent. Love And Peace Or Else is a real soaring track, a track that should've survived the Vertigo Tour if I'm honest. Good performance, leading the show into a bit of a warzone. Always a good segue into Sunday Bloody Sunday, though it's a little bit tired after 23 years of touring. Bullet The Blue Sky is played well, though I'm not sure there is a place for it into today's setlists. Miss Sarejevo is a brilliant track and it's performed with excellence. Pride tries so hard to please. Yet it always sounds tired. The crowd try and help it along and to an extent it works. Where The Streets Have No Name is a track that shows it's possible to be a staple of a U2 after all these years. Good performance. One is a pretty standard performance, Edge's guitar comes through a little harshly.

Zoo Station sends us all the way back to 1992.I have to admit, I probably prefer Vertigo renditions as opposed to Zoo TV. Good performance tonight. Bono really lets The fly slip through his grasp though, very poor effort. The Edge sounds great at the start of Mysterious Ways, but it soon descends into something a little disappointing. Very relaxed performance of With Or Without You but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's actually quite pleasant to hear. The music accompanying Mothers of the Disappeared is absolutely terrible. A solo performance from Bono would've been significantly better. What a shame, vocals + crowd were amazing. Original of the Species is nice, not outstanding but not bad either. bono seems to be giving it a lot more now, though a little too late. Closing with All I Want Is You is an odd one, but I can see why it was chosen. Powerful end to the show.

Sound

It's pretty good. Nice and clear, instruments seem well balanced, the crowd aren't muted. The radio presenter soon becomes annoying though, introducing every song. There is a noticeable skip at the end of Vertigo/start of Elevation and again at the end of Beautiful Day/start of The First Time. And again...seriously? Some poor editing of the show.
Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 4.5 stars

Audience

They are loud when the chance comes along for them to sing. Vertigo a shining example. I Still Haven't Found, Sunday Bloody Sunday and One are others.

Overall

Very hit and miss show. Some highlights (below) but many lowlights, mainly down to the vocal performance. Musically, the band sound in good shape. Crowd are really energetic throughout and the sound helps the listening experience.

Highlights:
- Elevation
- Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
- Miss Sarajevo
- With Or Without You
- Mothers of the Disappeared (Vocals + crowd)
- Some exceptional performances musically

Lowlights:
- Vocals throughout
- Until The End Of The World
- The Fly
- Mothers of the Disappeared (Music)
