Performance

Really strong show, one of the best of young U2!!

I'm really listen a lot of young U2 boots, but normally I didn't wrote a review of this concerts.

The boys rocks here, and this show is one of my favorites of October tour

I Threw A Brick Through A Window/A Day Without Me was a great underrated combo (They have memorable combos like Running to Stand Still/Streets in Zoo TV, U2 always does great combos, probably this is the first)

The encore was very good with Adam's vocals in Fire totally listenable and one of the best performances of The Ocean... really good performance of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock too.

I want give 5 stars, but some minimal mistakes don't let me do that


Sound

Really good sound

Audience

This part is only rated, not commented on

Overall

Highlights: A Day Without Me, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart (another "combo" but for me and probably for all U2 fans this is the same song), October and the encore (the best part of the show!)
