Performance

They perform great and play 10 out of 11 songs of Boy, 11 O' Clock Tick Tock, 3 B-sides and I Fall Down (which was in its early stages but you still know what song it is). Bono interacts with the audience alot.

Sound

The sound of this bootleg is perfect and you can hear everybodys instruments and Bono's voice really well. The crowd are not audible during songs but are in between songs.

Audience

You can't hear them during songs but you hear them after and they were having a great time

Overall

This is one of the best Boy tour bootlegs around and has all the songs you'd expect to hear at a Boy Tour show (10 Boy songs, 11 O Clock, 3 B-sides and I Fall Down.
Highlights:
I Fall Down - This version has no piano in it and slightly different lyrics and a miniature guitar solo not on the finished version
Touch - This song was not performed on any other tour in this form so it's a really good version (more polished than Trevor, the early version)
The Electric Co - With Cry and Send in The Clowns
Things To Make and Do - one very good version of a song rarely performed live. Better than the studio version
Great Boy tour bootleg. Best of the tour. There is a full video of this on youtube aswell and also possibly in the video pages but i haven't looked.
