Performance

Very enjoyable bootleg to listen to. This had a such a hype for one main reason. Even Better Than The Real Thing makes it's tour debut, not only that, starts the fecking show! Furthermore, it is the best opener out of the 5 songs that have opened 360° Tour so far.

Unfortunately, this bootleg did suffer from some mistakes. More than there usually should be:
- At the end of Get On Your Boots, Larry joins in too late with the drums and it then becomes a tad out of sync.
- The Edge makes a small mistake before the bridge in Mysterious Ways
- Big mistake in Elevation at the 2nd verse after the chorus. The Edge plays the chorus for too long, and then presumably forgets to turn the pedal off going into the verse
- The Edge makes an unexpected key change in the middle of North Star which slightly confuses things. Although, it recovered quite well
- Bit of a mess-up at the start of Walk On with the guitar
- The Edge makes a tiny mistake at the start of Streets but it's made for and the performance is really good.

Yeah, there was alot of mistakes, but alot of great points too:
- Space Oddity going into Even Better Than The Real Thing
- The whole of Even Better Than The Real Thing (even Bono's singing is really good)
- I Will Follow is brilliant
- Bono's singing in Miss Sarajevo
- Great HMTMKMKM (even though some lyrics are missed out by Bono)

Epic show, even if the mistakes were there. But I can't give the show 4.5 or 5. I just can't. Too many mistakes give it it's rating.

Sound

I personally think Macphisto's recording is about 4 stars.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

The crowd are really good throughout the gig, although they are slightly quiet at points. They do make up for it a lot of the time though. Impressive crowd.

- They were excellent in Elevation
- They gave U2 a great reception when they came onto perform Even Better Than The Real Thing
- Loud cheer during I Will Follow. You could hear them going nuts.
- Extremely loud during Vertigo.

Overall

All really explained above, but...
