Performance

A strong, solid performance. U2 were on fire that night. All of them were in top form. Bono's voice was in a good shape and he did almost no fuck-ups in lyrics. I could feel Adam and Larry all over the place, the bass and the drums were very strong, I guess these are the best years in terms of U2's rhytmic section. I was a little pissed off the screen didn't fully work, though. Highlights: No Line, Mysterious Ways, Streets, Ultraviolet, With Or Without You (the end was amazing). 4/5 means very good for me, only the very best shows like Point Depot get 4,5 or 5/5. On the whole, this was a great performance.

Sound

Not great. The audience is drowned out, you can't really hear them. I also noticed that during the tracks where Bono speaks it's pretty loud and as the music starts it gets damn quiet.

Audience

I'm proud I was a part of this audience. We were doing Mexican waves for ten minutes before the show started. First 4 songs aren't much of singalongs (well, except of Magnificent), so it was pretty dead (around me, dunno about the GA, couldn't hear them though), but with Beautiful Day the band got us going and we didn't stop until the very end. Everyone was standing, singing and clapping all the time. The whole stadium created a brilliant atmosphere. There was a girl dancing on the stage during Mysterious Ways and after the song finished, we shouted her name ''Simona! Simona!''. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For was magical. Thanks to the audience, even Stuck In A Moment and Pride were good. Highlights: well, every song from Beautiful Day to the end, but MW, ISHFWILF + Stand By Me, One, Streets and WOWY were especially good. Too bad the audience can't be heard in the bootleg that well, therefore I have to give it 4 stars for the bootleg, but I'd give the crowd a rating of 5 stars based on being there. Listen to No Line, Mysterious Ways ISHFWILF + the snippet and WOWY and you'll see this was a great audience.

Overall

Bootleg: Great performance by the band, a fine crowd and a so-so sound. 4 stars. Attending the show myself: 5 stars. Beautiful city, great performance on an eventually beautiful day (there was a storm at noon that day) and a great crowd with so much love and energy. I'm sad the audience can't be heard here very well. The people at the gig were 10x louder than you can hear in this boot.
