Performance

I was a bit disappointed with this boot, to be honest. I count on 5th leg Vertigo shows for great, energetic performances with unique setlists. Decent performance overall from the boys here, but lacking a bit in energy, save for a few key performances of rare songs.

The first set seemed fairly typical, nothing special. COBL, Vertigo, and Elevation were quite punchy, I Will Follow was a nice surprise, but New Year's Day and Beautiful Day seemed to lack in energy a bit for me. The band redeem themselves with Stuck and AOH, though. I usually skip Stuck on any boot, acoustic or full electric, but this one I have to say was great. Combined with a really fun performance of AOH, these two songs were the highlight of the first set for me.

SYCMIOYO and LAPOE seemed a bit lackluster, but the crowd during Sunday Bloody Sunday lifted the energy right back up. Bono seemed to channel that energy into his stellar performance of Miss Sarajevo, one of the best performances I've heard. Close out with good performances of Pride, Streeets, and One, and the Australian crowd is loving it.

Encore

Great, rocking performance of Zoo Station, nicely followed by The Fly. WOWY seemed to break up the set for me, both in its odd place between The Fly and TSAC and its nothing-special performance. I usually enjoy TSAC, but this was a bit of a rocky performance. Desire was the opposite--great, rocking performance again. Kite for me was the highlight--wonderful choice for a closer, and while I still prefer the Melbourne version, this is a great performance, very heartfelt and leaves me--and the Aussies--wanting more.


Sound

Not great, but not horrible. The band seems really distant at times, particularly Edge, but I could still sit through it.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Audience

At times annoying and detracting from my focus on the performance, but overall a good crowd.

Overall

Wish I was more positive about it! Decent show overall, but to me, nothing entirely special, aside from the appearance of Kite. If you like Vertigo 5th leg (which you should) this a good boot to have.
