This review is written by RDB92 and written on 2009-04-19 06:13 pm.

Performance:
It is very early in at the tour, and of course that means raw, undeveloped performances. This works very well for some songs, but not so well for others (i.e. some of the new songs). Classics like Running to Stand Still, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Beautiful Day and Mysterious Ways are looser and less tiresome than later on in the tour. Other than that there were some technical flaws during Sunday Bloody Sunday (Edge broke a string) and City of Blinding Lights (no keyboards present during intro, which really took away of the performance).

But the main reason why I downloaded this show was of course the very experimental and unique setlist. It was the first time Love and Peace or Else opened a concert, and it's awesome, way better than Vertigo, and maybe even City of Blinding Lights. The intro of Wake Up / Everyone connects perfectly with the long intro of LAPOE itself, and it's a real shame this song only opened very few times on the first leg only.
Unlike the eight shows after this one which LAPOE opened, where Vertigo would follow and the set would proceed as normal, the whole show was turned inside out: what was normally the middle section including LAPOE, now opened the concert. This works surprisingly well, and reminds a little of the JT days with BTBS, RTSS and ISHFWILF very early in the set. SBS this early on is also very nice. The Pride - WTSHNN - One section right in the middle is very unique as well, but it all seems to flow very naturally.
The only major disadvantage of this setlist is the apparent absence of an encore; rather, there seem to be two almost equally long sets. This must be really confusing for the audience, which is probably one of the main reasons they never played such a set again. Also no Boy songs is a shame: on the other hand, I did like four HTDAAB tracks being played consecutively at the end.

Audience:
Quite a standard North American audience, only cheering after the ending of songs and almost entirely quiet during. No very enthusiastic responds when songs kick in, not even with classics such as Pride, WTSHNN and One. They also barely knew or cared for any of the new songs or revived songs. Overall: disappointing.

Sound:
Not bad, just a little distant at times, and not perfectly balanced (low bass, vocals tend to drown out at times).

Overall:
Standard Vertigo performance, apart from the setlist. Download when you have already heard a lot of Vertigo shows, love the tour in general, and want to hear something different setlist-wise. Otherwise it's not very special, and can even be annoying sometimes as with all Vertigo gigs (same human rights video and One speech over and over again, had to edit them out because I couldn't take it any longer).

fan of the month

"'Pride' is the best song we've ever written. We've done very few songs, normally we just make music. 'I Will Follow' was a song, but then the next one wasn't until 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. It's very different from the rest of the album though - there's nothing on there as straight as this." - Bono, November 1984
