Performance

N2 in Montreal.I drove up with my family and friends, from NYC, for these 2 gigs.I kept saying to myself,N2 would be THE show, of the 2.I was right.The band seemed a bit more fired up this night,and the setlist is almost perfect.Starting the show with 4 from AB is fantastic.EBTTRT drums at the start were echoing all over the stadium.The Fly was rocking,as was UTEOTW.But when OOC kicked in,my friends all looked at me and I knew this was goin to be special.Boots,with the O Canada intro was great.They really pounded it out here.The music to Boots is great.The lyrics,thats another story. I think Magnificent would have worked right after it.AIWIY, is one of my favorite U2 songs,loved hearing it,even though Bono was all over the place.They shocked me there.Stuck ,fit nice before BD.NYD was a personal highlight for me.Classic U2.This is the song that got me hooked on U2, in early 1983,I was 16,and I have stuck with them since.Zooropa really fits this setup well,I really like the way the band perform this song live,love the effects.Vertigo had everyone around me in a near frenzy.All jumping and singing.It was wild.The only low,as always IMO,Crazy Remix.The Remix is awful,I immediately ran from my spot in the GA to find the " beer guy".Lemon or MOFO,would work well in its place.

Sound

Im happy, to have such a nice sounding recording, of a show I attended.No,its not perfect,some tin,Adams bass is way too low.Just play with your EQ.
Edit : (07.24.11) Noiseless, fixed the bass problem,this show now sounds fantastic.
Recording: "U2.COM WEBCAST" - 5 stars

Audience

This crowd (along with N1) IMO,were really great.I was in the GA, and noticed alot of young fans, along with older fans (me),we all got along fine.No pushing,no drunk ass*oles,alot of respect all around.Everyone LISTENED to the MUSIC and watched the band PERFORM,alot of dancing.This boot does not do the fans justice,believe me..it was loud !!!!

Overall

I might be biased here,but I really feel this was a special show.Bono was in such good spirits.I loved when he spoke French,this gives you such a FEEL for the show,and its location.UV was brilliant,as was WOWY.The Shine Like Stars bit is amazing.Reminds me of the R&H version.He should always sing that part.UV is still in my head.Im so glad I attended the shows in Montreal,I wish the night didnt have to end.The weather at this show was perfect.There was a full moon over the stage.Simply magical.
